Easter Weekend in Review

We had a fun but crazy weekend and Easter. On Friday the kids had their Easter visit with their Mom. John had to start the day off to a really bad start by having a bm in his underwear and trying to hide it/cover it up. Let's just say it was not a fun job cleaning up the mess. It is obviously behavioral because the "accidents" seem to correlate with the visits....so sad. He starts therapy tomorrow here at the house, I am praying it helps him. I am not sure how many more of these things I can take. I feel bad for him but also know that it is somewhat within his control. The visit itself seemed to go fine and John was fine when I got him back, his behavior wasn't the greatest but he also didn't scream and cry this time.

After they got home we loaded up and headed to Orlando to spend Easter with our parents. The drive up was great. We stayed with my mom and step-dad and spent Sunday morning with Don's parents. The three kids are a bit much for anyone much less our parents who are used to pretty quiet lives.....they all did pretty great. For some reason John was super hyper all weekend, not sure if it was the change in environment or what....who knows? Elizabeth did pretty well. Oliver was wanting some alone time with the grandparents and John had some jealousy issues. Overall pretty great though...the drive home was not so wonderful but we made it one piece.

Elizabeth has started daycare and I am much relieved. I am trying to get John in the rest of this week as it is spring break and he is pretty overwhelming for me to handle 24 hours a day. Not the proudest thing I have ever said but it is honest. The kids are a bit much to handle all day everyday. I am home 2-3 days a week all day by myself as Don has school in the evenings right after work. I think having a bit of down time will be good for all of us.
