Thankful Thursday and Wing Nut’s Weigh-Day

Happy Thursday!

My parents are coming for a visit tomorrow so we can celebrate Owain’s 3rd  birthday this weekend. We are so excited, and Thankful for the visit.

We all got home late last night from E Nut’s baseball game, and I forgot yesterday was Weighday for Wing Nut. If you remember last week, he didn’t gain any weight at all, which was a bit of a shock and disappointment. But at least he didn’t lose any weight. He has been on periactin for just over a month and now that he has gained weight, he is starting to fill out, he looks like a different kid. We weighed him tonight, and before we did, I remembered to measure his height to make adjustments for his BMI. The good news is that he gained weight this past week! Almost 1 pound, and since he has grown 2 inches since he started the periactin, which is crazy, his BMI has changed enough that he is back to being underweight. While I am disappointed that he is back to being underweight because of his height, he gained almost a pound and he is back to gaining weight, and I am Thankful for that.

I am Thankful today is over.  It was a long day. With lots of almost 3 year old temper tantrums. The day is done, and I am happily on my way to get some sleep.

As always, I am Thankful for my happy, healthy, wild little beasties that run around my house all day long driving me crazy, I am Thankful that we still have a roof over our heads and for our wonderfully supportive group of friends and family and all the ways they help us.

What are you Thankful for today?
