When I asked him what happened he said "NO no no no no" and pushed me away. I asked him about it again yesterday and he still said "No no no no no". So I'm glad I was able to talk to his teacher. She said that this boy has had aggression issues for a little while that they are addressing.
Saturday Nico and I went to the Botanical Garden to meet my old college roommate, Tawny, and her husband and 4 year old son, Aiden. They came over afterward and Nico showed Aiden all of his toys and they played so well together, better than I've seen Nico play with anyone! We were worn out when the day was done. Lots of sun, lots of playing.
Sunday afternoon, Guy's boss came over with his family so that we could do a Zyto scan on his son who has been having some serious health issues. A Zyto scan is to help you determine which essential oils your body will respond well to. All 4 of them ended up getting scanned. They were impressed with how accurate it was. Their two children, and Nico and Guy spent most of the time in Nico's bedroom playing, and the daughter (9 years old maybe?) plays Minecraft so her and Guy were having so much fun talking about it. We sent them away with some essential oils, and are hoping they help.
We saw Papa briefly that evening as he dropped off eggs and a whole GALLON of milk! Thank you Papa!
On Monday, Nico came with me to meet a friend at a coffee shop. She is a violist in the Boise Philharmonic and teaches lessons. Even to 3 year olds! If Nico ever wants to learn the violin or the viola, we know where to go.
Monday afternoon, Guy had an interview for an engineering position at his work. We are crossing our fingers and praying. The interview went well, we will find out soon when the 2nd interview will take place. He is being interviewed along with a few other people.
Tuesday Nico stayed home from school, he threw up once in the morning but was fine a few hours later. This is the 2nd incident with a short-lived upset tummy. I'm glad he felt better so quickly. Tuesday night I taught another community ed class about making over your medicine cabinet with essential oils. One of the women in the class ended up being the intake coordinator for the Infant/Toddler program and remembered me and Nico when we had our appointment a year ago.
Bought some new foods to try out this past week, as we are continuing to expand our diet to eventually include everything that a supermarket could sell :) Deli ham slices and a new brand of gluten free bread. Nico requested a peanut butter banana sandwich for lunch yesterday: DONE! He requested toast for dinner tonight: DONE! I even made him little cream cheese rollups with the ham slices, one of my favorite things to eat when I was younger. He is doing so well with new foods, and his rash has not come back since it went away a few months ago. SO SO SO very happy about that!
This week is Teacher Appreciation week. I forgot to take a picture of the cute tea tumblers I put together for his teachers, but I followed the instructions here, so you can click to see a picture of what they are: Iced Tea Cup.
I made one for each of his 3 teachers, then also included a chocolate bar for the teacher assistant. Nico helped me stuff the tumblers with the wrinkled paper, and I used African Honeybush tea. I have never had it before but I picked something that sounded tasty from the Co-op.
A few other snippets from this week:
- Nico told me that if I played with his spinning top that I would need to go to time out
- He told me exactly how to make his peanut butter banana sandwich. Bread, with peanut butter, then slice the bananas and put them on top.
- Fish park, Old park, strider rides, tricycle rides, co-op runs (where Nico gets to pick out a fruit leather), eating watermelon
