T.G.I.F.

What a week! We had Monday off for Martin Luther King, Jr. day so that was nice but it still made for a long week.  Poor Christopher hated getting dragged out of bed everyday.  Unfortunately, it probably won't last for the weekend.  Since we can sleep in, he'll be up at 6:30 but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

The hand flapping has been a little worse this week and he even did the fingers in front of the eyes thing once.  I haven't been keeping to his vitamin regiment, which is just a multi-vitamin and an omega 3.  I haven't been consistent enough with it to know if it is making any sort of change.  The omega 3 is supposed to help with brain development.  Schedules have been thrown off since the holidays.  He hasn't been to his Monday sitter since before the holiday and will finally go back to her next week. 

I am very fortunate that we have been able to keep him off of a strict routine.  We can get in the car and just go however, he may protest if we don't go the way he thinks we should go but he does well. The longest tantrums are when we go past the McDonald's or Chick-fil-a and he thinks we need to go there.  But even those are short.

Our little man will be turning 4 soon.  We are having a "real" birthday party this year.  The last few have been after church at McDonald's and we would have a few family members come but that was also part of our normal after church routine.  This year, I was able to invite his class from school and he does have at least one friend coming and also a couple of other friends he has made.  I'm also taking on a new endeavor by baking cupcakes instead of ordering a cake.
