Only If There's Food

Kendra is really into princesses. We found this used Snow White dress and I couldn't resist. She wears it all the time - especially when she wants to dance.

Today we went to Corrales to go to Wagner Farms where they have a petting zoo. Little did we know that it was Harvest Days down there. We had to take a detour just to get to the farm and then when we got there we couldn't get down to the petting zoo. So discouraging. I'll take Kendra next month.

We took Mark's car in for an estimate yesterday. The total damage is $2600. That's half the value of his car! Our insurance will pay all but $250 and they'll even pay for a rental! Isn't that great! Let me tell you about the place we took his car to. It's called car crafters and we took the car there because they work directly with our insurance. Now, when you think of body shops you imagine a dirty greasy place right? Well, this place is nice! It was clean, had a lego table and chairs for kids, and to top it off they had cookies and drinks!! I don't just mean the store bought from a package cookie, they had gourmet cookies that you would get from a deli!! The cookies just made car crafters my favorite place. It's too bad they don't do oil changes.

Making Progress

My child was bald at birth. Her hair growth has been very slow - so I was very excited when I could finally do a ponytail, then two ponytails, and check out what I did the other day!! Her hair is finally growing!

Kendra was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder in April. She was below the 2nd percentile for tactile dysfunction. Basically her brain didn't interpret tactile input correctly. She was such a clean baby and being a first time mom I didn't know any better. The other day for our "snack" we had apples and caramel dip. I was thrilled to see her hands and face!



We take Mark's car in tomorrow for an estimate. We are hoping our insurance will cover most of it and that our cut will be only $250. Our normal deductible is $750.

Seriously People

So Mark takes the bus to work. He use to park at the mall, but ABQ recently made a new transit parking area down the street. Due to this there are no cameras, much to our dismay. When Mark arrived at the stop this evening he noticed that his car had been hit. There was no note, phone number, or insurance card. This was no little scrape either as you can see from the photos. I was miffed! Seriously how rude!

Awakening

So over the course of the last couple of weeks we have had to scrub our living room carpet a couple of times. One spot Kendra puked on and the other she peed. We noticed how white the carpet is where we scrubbed. We had no idea our carpet was suppose to be so white! Guess it's time to rent a carpet cleaner.

The other night I realized something I should have long ago. Kendra sometimes has a difficult time sleeping. This was one of those nights. She just kept crying, exhausted, and unable to relax. I finally did compressions and put some weight on her. She fell asleep soon after that. She needs a lot of proprioceptive input because of her Sensory Disorder. All she needs is a weighted blanket - what an easy fix. I can't believe it took me this long to figure it out!!
