Generally on track - folo up to an earlier mention...

As a blogger, if I mention something on line, I will attempt to wrap up any hanging lose ends. For example, yes my arm has healed from my recycling accident this past summer, but I do have a terrible scar. If you saw it, you might think I have some "troubles"....

Anyway, in my post about Marly and Dean's two year check up, I mentioned scheduling an appointment to have Early Childhood Intervention come and check their language skills. This morning one teacher and two student teachers from the school district came to access M & D's development. The Twinner's do not yet say two words together. Honostly, Mark and I really were not worried, but the assessment is free, the ladies do a good job of explaining your children's development to you, and the kids enjoy the play time attention.

Anyway, the assessment didn't even take an hour. The teachers also came to our home at 18 months, so this was a follow up visit. Basically, the Twinners are totally on-track in every area, but perhaps slightly delayed in their "expressive language skills." No worries here on our end.

One thing that I continue to worry about is enough sleep. For a while, we attempted to get the kids down by 7:30, but of course the bed time has crept back to 8 pm. I REALLY, REALLY believe healthy sleep and ENOUGH of it will lead to a healthy, happy child, and even a more well behaved child. I read articles regularly to support this. I know when we put the Twinners down at 8, they often socialize with each other. When I do the math, I worry they might get slightly under 10 hours of sleep on too many nights. Studies indicate 11 to 13 hours of sleep are healthy. I am sure if Dean got a little more sleep, he would not be so cranky in the morning. He also sometimes suffers from Night Terrors. Key cause - You got it! Not enough sleep!

I guess as a mommy or a daddy, there is always something to worry about.

Hi Andrea..... about his night terrors, the ONLY thing that helped numero uno nino is FISH OIL! If he doesn't get enough rest the night before it's also an indication that he'll have them. The fish oil has helped IMMENSELY! We use Barlean's Lemon Smoothie Fish Oil. The stuff tastes unreal!!

רציתי לשתף איתכם במקרה אותו עברתי לאחר הפיגוע בדולפינריום. במהלך חצי שנה אחרי הטראומה, הרגשתי מדוכאת, חסרת שמחת חיים, עייפה ומדוכדכת. עם טיפולים רפואיים רגילים לא יכולתי להשתקם ולכן פניתי ל- [b][url=http://www.maker.co.il/3_15707/%D7%9E%D7%90%D7%9E%D7%A8/%D7%9B%D7%9C-%D7%94%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%91%D7%93%D7%95%D7%AA-%D7%A2%D7%9C-%D7%A0%D7%A4%D7%A9-%D7%94%D7%90%D7%93%D7%9D-%D7%95%D7%A2%D7%99%D7%A1%D7%95%D7%99-%D7%A8%D7%A4%D7%95%D7%90%D7%99-(%D7%9E%D7%A1%D7%90%D7%92%60).html]עיסוי[/url][/b] רפואי אלטרנטיבי. המליצו לי על מעסה מקצועי מ-Spa-Vip.co.il - עיסוי עד הבית, אשר כולל מסאג איורוודה משחרר במיוחד אשר גרם להתעוררות חושים תוך טיפול אחד בלבד. אין לי מילים לתאר את השינוי אותו עברתי, אפילו אחרי טיפול עיסוי איורוודה ראשוני, הרגשתי נפלא, פיזרתי את השיער ויצאתי מה- [b][url=http://www.academics.co.il/Articles/Article12945.aspx]מסאג[/url][/b]' עם הרבה כוח, מחויכת ומוכנה להמשך.

[b][url=http://www.tapuz.co.il/blog/ViewEntry.asp?EntryId=1679344]עיסוי שוודי[/url][/b] הוא עיסוי רפואי המתאפיין ב מוזיקה נעימה, נרות ומוזיקה נעימה. בהתחלת העיסוי יש מגע מפנק מעל המגבת לאחר חשיפה של הגוף מכף רגל ועד ראש. נמרח שמן חם מכף רגל ועד הראש, אחרכך תנועה מלטפת ועדינה מכף רגל ועד ראש ובחזרה. לאחר כמה תנועות מפנקות מתחיל הטיפול בצידו השני של הגוף, אחרי אותם תנועות על צידו השני מתחיל שילוב של לחיצות רפואיות כי הגוף התרגל למגע מפנק ומרגיע ודבר זה גרם לשרירים להרפות במידה... כל זה בטיפול ספא מפנק של עיסוי עד בית הלקוח.

אני לא האמנתי שדברים כאלו יכולים לקרות עד אשר התענגתי עם מסאז שוודי ברמה כזאת, המעסה המקצועי הגיע עד לביתי עם מגע כלכך מפנק אשר לא האמנתי שיכול להיות. ממליצה לכל אחד ואחת אשר מעוניינים ב עיסוי רפואי, [b][url=http://israblog.nana10.co.il/blogread.asp?blog=682132]מסאז[/url][/b]' או סתם פינוק מלטף בסוף שבוע על Spa-VIP.co.il.

A few years ago I was very bored with my marriage with my love. Why? Ummm, you get it – life gets in the way.

I found great advice here: [url=http://www.marriedaffairguide.com]married and lonely[/url] Reviews.

It never was about my chick. It was toujours about me. I began searching the internets for a solution on how to change my relationship model. I finished by landing on this website: [url=http://www.marriedaffairguide.com/dating-married-online-sites]married and dating[/url]

I met her on a Monday night. She was Fanny. After a few too potent vodkas, we left separately (for impressions)– we did what we had to do – she asked for my phone number at the finality of the evening, which I thought was good.

Thank GOD there was a backup thing named: [url=http://www.marriedaffairguide.com/how-to-have-an-affair-married-seeking-affairs]married man seeking guide[/url]
