Taking the Scenic Route

Finally, the long awaited paycheck.  Thank goodness!  We paid our rent, and all of our immediate “gonna cut us off” bills were paid yesterday with the loan from my parents.  There isn’t much left, but I think I can make it stretch.  I am SO relieved.

In other good news, we got Zane to wear his glasses for an hour or so today while he played the Gamecube grandma had us go get when she babysat for him on Zach’s birthday.  He is a happy boy right now.

Zora is sort of a mess this evening.    Zach is trying to entertain her a bit right now.  She wouldn’t nap today (except for about 5 minutes) and she is not coping well at all.  Doesn’t want to be held, doesn’t want to be put down, doesn’t want to eat right now, nothing makes her happy.  She needs to sleep but she is fighting it with a fierce stubbornness.  At least she doesn’t have Zane’s talent for staying awake for days straight, so we know she will pass out eventually.  Hopefully she does so soon AND sleeps all the way through to a reasonable time in the morning.  I can’t imagine where she gets it from. 

In sad news, Zane’s first speech therapist is leaving.  She is going to run the autism classrooms at Rainbows (or something like that).  I think she will be really good at that, but we are going to miss her a lot.  She has been such a central part of our lives for the last 16 months or so and it will be really weird to not have that anymore.  They are lining us up with another therapist.  I hope that Zane handles the change ok.
