I guess I am slacking a bit in the update department, but I don’t feel to bad since all the journals I read are rarely updated too. I suppose when you work and have some sort of personal life it is hard to get online and sit and type about the daily grind that you are really trying not to think about and just make it until the next day.
so, working at children’s services is a whole lot of paperwork and little client contact, which sucks. Basically I go, tell them what the allegations against them are, get their side, history, etc, make sure the kids are safe, then leave and fill out like 100 pages of paperwork. This gets even more complicated when referring them out to programs where even more paperwork is required. Basically, I sit on my butt all day. I think its been a really great experience, but I know that eventually I am going to want something more than just this. But, I need experience, this pays the bills for the most part, and honestly I can’t bitch because at least I have a job.
In other news, Aiden is potty trained…aside from the whole BM thing. Both boys refuse to go on the toilet for that for some reason. we took away diapers and landen just held it and ended up staying up all night crying because his stomach hurt. I asked the dr what to do and he said let them go in diapers because pooping in the potty isn’t as important as having regular BM’s, so, that’s what we’ve done. Other than that both are doing well. Landen is in the preschool program at the daycare, including a trial curriculum designed by OSU. He seems to be doing well. Aiden is about to move up to a potty trained class, and he is doing great. He speaks in paragraphs, knows his ABC’s and numbers when he feels like actually doing them right. But he is a little shit who does bad things like grabbing toys and hitting. Drives me nuts. And he always acts so innocent, but I know his non-angelic side!
I guess, really, that’s it. I don’t know much else lol.
