Julian's birthday is in a month && i have yet to begin doing anything! this is SO unlike me, but like i said-- i have been consumed, and absorbed in the craziness of this whole "up rooting" again.
Anyhow...
Julian is doing pretty great. He is talking his little butt off. Can't get a moment of silence from the moment he opens his eyes, until is little head rest for nap time & bed time! His vocabulary has grown so much over the last few months, its amazing to me! Julian also knows most of his shapes now- he knows there are some "gons" in there but gets hexagon and Pentagon confused-- which still pretty sweet even if they are confused being he is not even three yet!! :) makes his mommy so proud!
Just tonight he yelled out the LSU chant && i took it upon myself to then teach him the entire saints chant, at which he caught on to mighty quickly!
my newest tackle for Julian, is to figure out how to get him to stop pee'in his bed every night. He is still in diapers/pull ups at night.. but he still always manages to pee through them. I tried cutting his liquids and making him pee before bed- but nothing is seeming to work. Of course his if his blood sugar is running higher he pees more on some nights- but even on normal nights.. we are still finding he is a heavy wetter. I simply am at a loss. I have been putting him in his diaper and pull up and putting gerber plastic pants on over it as a cover. it helps seal any leakage. but i know it cant be comfy, so im still on the hunt for another fix. Maybe i'll try XL cloth diapers, and double up on inserts? I am just not sure. Being he is a boy && a danford boy at that.. i don't think it would hurt to invest the money in cloth, bc from what i hear this problem may go on for quite some time.. :/
By the way, i am open to any suggestions. i realize it is a developmental thing for kids to recognize to wake and potty- that is not what im trying to fix..lol im just tried of cleaning sheets on a daily basis!!!!
Anyways- while on here I should tell about Julian's first baseball game! It was a blast, and worked out better than I could have ever dreamed! Josh surprised us with tickets to go to Harbor Park, to watch the Norfolk Tides! Julian was totally engaged with the game up until the 7th inning- which was so cool! He would laugh hysterically at the mascot and the silly things it would do in between each inning. He would cheer and chant with the music, and the hard core fans that sat around us! His favorite was when they played a certain tune, and then yelled.. " CHARGE!!!!"
The weather was absolutely pleasant! Low 80's with a nice cool breeze coming off the water.. the sky was clear and the moon was big and bright! The surprise was such a treat for us, and a fun, memorable experience. However, the best part about it was.. for the night, we did not have a diabetic child. Yes, i know what i just typed. I have no clue- some might call it a freak accident, but i like to think it was a gift from god. a break for our sweet boy to enjoy himself, and for me and josh to enjoy ourselves with out worry! As always, we checked Julian before giving him anything to eat.. but his blood sugars were always FINE, perfect! never did he need a correction, and being that we didn't know exactly how many carbs he was taking in we would wait a little bit after he ate to check him to see where he stood. never once did his blood sugar elevate after eating. i was blown away, i kept thinking.. maybe his meter is wrong, or his strips are no good? There was no way my son ate peanuts, ice cream, snowball, and cotton candy and never need any type of medication. no way his blood sugar could stay normal, i mean for peets sake- his pancreas hasn't worked in MONTHS! Yes, it was slightly warm, and he was sweating some, but was not running around to be burning as many carbs as he was taking in! It was such a blessing for all of us!
