Vent...

BLAH!!!!!!! OK... what I am going to get into... I know is silly... but I just get SO frustrated!!! I have Grayson in a daycare that is nice... I pay a lot of good money to have him there and over all I am satisfied! They take GREAT care of Grayson the whole time they have him... EVERY teacher just LOVES Grayson! Every person that I see at the school tells me what a happy and smart child I have and that just reinforces the fact that I must be doing SOMETHING right! It makes me smile every time! Onto my vent! Well I switched him to a sister daycare (owned by the same people as his last daycare, but is under a different director and it is where my sister's kids have gone off and on) in July! I have been trying to be patient and things are working themself out! BUT Grayson is only 13 months and they have him only taking ONE nap a day! At home he will take two 3-4 hour naps a day and at school he will only take one at most 2 hour nap! He comes home and is sleepy, if he doesn't take a nap in the car then he WON'T eat dinner! Also, as I stated before I am still breastfeeding Grayson! I had not really planned on continuing past a year, but it works for us and since I still have a stash in the freezer I figure why not continue! Well every day I get his daily report of what he is doing AND it is only half filled out, and the teacher that I pick him up from doesn't know what the teacher prior did! I guess this comes from working in a health care field that you MUST give a handoff report before leaving and at daycare one teacher comes in and doesn't tell the next teacher what is going on with the kids! Well after almost 2 months I finally talked to the director, I tried to act normal and that it is not that big a deal and I know NO ONE can care for my child the way that I would and I won't be happy no matter what! My mom pointed out the fact that no matter what is given to me I am NEVER satisfied... which is somewhat true... but I have expectations and sometimes I don't feel they are met! Like the day I brought this to the attention of the director was after I spoke to his afternoon teacher for the 4th time of watching her throw out 5 oz of my breast milk that he didn't drink! Well I brought up the fact that I NEVER know how much he drinks and if I am sending too much or too little! Also, they had he drank a whole cup of juice, if he is not drinking his milk he doesn't need juice for one and 2 Grayson doesn't get juice! I know as he gets older he will drink juice it is just that right now I don't think he needs it! Well It turned out that since the teachers do not communicate the afternoon teacher didn't know that Grayson drake a WHOLE bottle at 145pm so at 3pm when they tried to give him his next "scheduled" bottle of course he didn't want it! And thus the afternoon teacher that I really do like threw it down the drain! Well I told the director I wanted them to talk so that they knew when Grayson was getting his bottles cause this seems to be a BIG issue! I also had requested that Grayson get baby food for the morning and afternoon snack instead of the silly carbohydrate enriched crap they give all the other kids! Well this happened a few times but they said that the class he is in they don't do that, either the kid gets the menu food or not! Well at his other school Grayson was in the mid-classroom, it was between babies and toddlers! This is like they throw the kids from babies to toddlers and I guess it is me that is NOT ready for Grayson to grow up! So when I have him I feed him his breakfast of yogurt, waffle or whatever and then with every meal I feed him then give him a jar or 2 of babyfood! this is my decision and I will continue this till he is eating a little more but since he stopped gaining weight a few months back when he get really sick I think this is what is best for us!

So this was my vent... I know that he is safe and happy and I REALLY hope they will change and start talking to each other in the classrooms!

This has been a busy week for Grayson medically, we went back to the pulmonary doctor on Thursday and they are starting him now on singular and starting the 5 days of oral steroids to hopefully knock this cough out! Grayson is also scheduled for a few tests in September, one is a sweat test that they wrap Grayson in plastic wrap and have him sweat for a few hours then test his sweat! This is to test Cystic Fibrosis, which is a lung disease! The doctor REALLY doesn't feel this is our issue BUT wants to rule it out! Also while we get this test he will have blood drawn and they will do some genetic tests AND test for allergies!

Today Grayson went and got his 12 month shots, he was a CHAMP! He got 6 or 7 shots... it was A LOT! I felt horrible!!!He cried and cried and was in SO much pain BUT I know that it is the best for him! Also, Grayson got his flu shot today! I hope it doesn't really effect him! The pulmonary doctor STRONGLY encouraged Gray getting the flu shot, but it was 2 separate shots... yuck! I REALLY hated it, but I know that it is what is best for him!

Well it is time for me to get my little man! We are off to spend the weekend at Noonie's house cause I'm on-call for work... please people don't have a heart attack in Clear Lake... I really don't want to be called into work! I am stressed enough!

Sorry no pics... we have not been that into the camera this week!
