Happy New Year - Jan 6 - 12

Happy New Year.  With all the changes going on in this household   - my biggest goal - is to get through with as little stress as possible...To not keep the stress on me - but to let God do what He wants to do.

My girls are both VERY picky eaters and one specialist believes it is due to sensory processing disorder and possibly with Big A's low muscle tone - there may be some things she just can't chew...
Then over the holidays - my husband was diagnosed with diabetes...which has thrown me for a loop because I am the cook in the house...now I need to try and keep the food diabetic friendly and picky kid friendly  - this is not an easy task. It took me hours to shop the other week due to reading EVERY lable.

Assessment number 1 for Big A - came back and she has Sensory Processing Disorder, and Developmental Coordination Delay. She also received a score of 8% in connecting what she sees with her eyes to what her brain interprets (creating delays in reading, writing, and learning difficulties).
