New Sitter



The kids are trying out a new sitter on Mondays starting today.  Actually, they have spent one other day with her before. They came home with handcrafted projects – which I just love.  That is just one of the reasons we are thinking of going to a new sitter.  I really want them to be involved in many different activities and different types of play.  I don’t think the current sitter is providing that. I also do not believe that the twins sleep well at the old sitter’s house which results in mood and behavior problems at home; not to mention sleep issues during the night. 
John is receiving speech therapy on a weekly basis through the county.  A speech therapist comes to the house and plays/works with John. The program also administered an ADOS test for John and surprisingly he had a few red flags for being on the spectrum. We do not believe John has any level of autism, but we will follow through with the recommendations.  If he qualifies for special programs, then by all means we will take advantage of them while he is still young.
I am quite interested to see how they did today and how the rest of the evening goes.
