Over simplified ??

I was worried after my last post that I had mislead some of you. I thought JaLia was having issues with eating too much. She was throwing fits as soon as she got home each evening. I was having issues with giving her snacks before dinner. I really didn't want to reward her behavior with food and set myself up for bigger issues later. I asked my pediatrician and he was taking her side! I resigned myself to healthy "appetizers" and told myself that they were just part of her dinner......... It turns out that what she really didn't like was being "gated" in the toy room while I was too busy cooking to watch her. As soon as she hears that click, she cries. If the boys are there playing near her she is fine but if they leave her just for a second to go to the bathroom or what ever...look out............ Now that she is in daycare and getting snacks every 2 hours, she has been eating less at dinner. Its either that she is full or understanding her meals will be frequent or she is getting over a growth spurt either way I'm feeling better about that. They also sing alot of songs at daycare. The girl loves music anyway but she has taken to singing loudly to herself, there are some hand motions too but I just can't figure them out............... Her follow up appointment with the surgeon at Riley got canceled and I'm not sure I see the need to go back. I will schedule a follow up with the cardiologist just to see if I can get her off this medicine............... The bills are starting to roll in. They seem to be alot less that what I thought so that is a nice surprise! Still it's extra on top of the adoption expenses that i hadn't planned on.............. She is still scared of the big wide outdoors but getting a little more comfortable walking around by herself.
