We Have Fishies!

This morning we went to get Johnnie's new cell phone. On our way into the store, we saw the fish. Aiden had never seen the fish before. Or at least he hadn't with us, and not since he's been old enough to understand and remember. He was so excited. Watching him watch them was so sweet. I just couldn't leave without the fish. And they are supposed to be good for kids with ADHD/ASD, so they would benefit Kat too. We bought the darn fish. And not just any ole fish either, we bought the Glofish. He got an orange one (Hobgoblin), a green one (Hulk to Aiden, Green Goblin to Kat), and a sucker fish that Clara named Venom. :) My kids are all big time comic fans. :) Good parenting? I think so. ;)

So we got home and set up the Aquarium just for Johnnie to point out to me that it's probably not big enough for the 2 fish and a big sucker fish. Then tonight, Mom and Daddy told me the same thing. Apparently I am the only one who didn't know this, so we will be switching to a larger one asap.

We put it in the kid's room, and they turned off the lights and just sat in awe of the glowing fish in the glowing Aquarium. :P

Kat didn't get to see it until she got home from school. When she did, she let out a very loud, high pitched squeal and had a huge smile on her face..which means she was super happy.

Aiden has been just sitting and staring at them and watching them off and on all day. He has to tell everyone who will listen about his fish and what their names are. He is proud of his pet fishies.

This afternoon I picked Kat up from school and she handed me her folder with her report in it. She got an "N". I couldn't even be upset y'all, she did better than yesterday. An "N" is better than a "U". She said she tried really hard, but she got in trouble for talking and some little boy named Alex told the teacher a lie about her and said she cussed and said the "S" word, and she tried to tell the teacher she didn't, but she didn't believe her, but her real friends told the teacher and she thinks she believed her better then and won't believe a word that Alex says anymore.

Oh my Kathryn. <3

She drives me crazy, y'all. She really knows how to push my buttons without even knowing she's doing it and I'm not always great at controlling my reactions like I should, I'm still learning at this, but man oh man, that girl. She's just as amazing as she is frustrating. I love her to pieces. She's something else. ;)

I finally got to order her chewable jewelry (chewelry) necklace. I also got her a bendable doll that is supposed to help her focus and calm down when she gets worked up. I can't wait to see her face when she gets them. :) <3 Now if I could just get someone to make her a weighted blanket. I sure wish I could sew, I'd make it for her. She needs one really bad. I'm going to try to make her some sensory bottles soon too. I might make one for Aiden while I'm at it. I think he'd like them too.

I had to come back and add some stuff. I can't believe I didn't remember to update about out first two days eating GFDF! My mind is shot, y'all.

So we did great at dinner last night. GFDF Chicken tenders, steamed broccoli and rice. Everyone liked it except for Kat. She ate the rice and broccoli but she wanted ham roll ups instead of the tenders. Aiden ate them so good that he wanted to take it to bed with him at bedtime, lol

Today I gave them a taste of our different SILK milks. One almond regular, and one almond coconut. Aiden and Kat both despise the Almond regular, but man Aiden was an immediate fan of the almond coconut. He had two cups of it today. Kat says she will drink tea and water. So be it then.

Dinner was successful tonight too. I am excited about tomorrow. They get tacos, they are going to be so happy to find out they can still have them...just healthier. ;)
