Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet!

Well, we at least got the kids to say Trick or Treat and thank you. Maddie refused to leave the stroller. I think she was tired. Here are the kids with our neighbor friends. Nate is JJ's fave buddy and Maddie's too. She runs around the house saying "Nay, Nay, Nay!" when he is coming over.

Here they are eating all the goodies. JJ specifically told me at bedtime that I am too pick up all the candy he lined up on the floor, yes he lined it all up, and that I am not to eat any of it. How dare he? My belly is starting to hurt, maybe I should stop?

Bergmann's Pumpkin Patch

All I can say is muddy, muddy, muddy!!!! But it was sunny to keep us somewhat warm. JJ had had enough of the mud and wanted to get the heck out of there. I don't blame him :)

JJ's Update

Claire, the occupational therapist, called yesterday afternoon. Here is our update. She wants to see him once a week for about three months to start. What she saw in the test results were that he needs work on oral sensories, sensory tone(his muscles), and his eyes(the tracking). Once we get in there, she may want to change up our plan but for now she is going ahead with once a week. We just have to wait on good ol' Tricare to approve it before we start. I am actually very excited to get him started. And I am especially glad we can correct his eye tracking before he starts to read and write in school so he doesn't get behind!

Update On Lil' Man J

At JJ's last gymnastics class a month ago, I met a fellow mother of a child with sensory issues. JJ is fairly mild, but to me it's not quite "normal." Meeting this woman at the Y had made up my mind to get him checked out again. I got the doc to refer us out to an occupational therapist for an evaluation.

He did do some OT when we lived in San Antonio, but they deemed him good when we left so I didn't continue when we got here.

Today was our evaluation. The therapist did her thing with him and I had to fill out a form as well. After scoring both by Thursday I'll hear back from her. But, from her evaluation today she can already tell that he has tracking problems with his eyes, which means he can't follow your finger with just his eyes. He moves his entire head. This is something a child learns to do at about a year. She wants to refer him to a specialist for it. She also mentioned he has a problem with his mid line. I'll get more info on that when I talk to her next.

The other thing she noticed about him, would be the lack of muscle tone in his hands and arms. So on Thursday, I should hear more!

Corn Maze

Some fellow "single" spouses and I went to the free dinner and corn maze function for those of us temporarily without hubbies around. JJ had a blast at the corn maze. We did, of course, get lost. But it was fun nonetheless.

Fall is Here

I know I have not been keeping y'all up to date on the Langworthy bunch. John's been gone just over 3 weeks and I have been running around like crazy this last week. It started with me volunteering to bring food to my church small group Sunday evening. And on Monday I hosted the squadron's spouse's group at my house. That took a lot of cleaning and cooking! I had a couple of days off before I had to get ready for the baby shower I was throwing with a friend of mine for another friend on Saturday. And I also had to make a dessert for a church ladies night on Friday.

Maddie had her 18 month check-up on Friday and is under weight(22lbs and 33.5in tall). But she eats everything insight so I don't think there is much I can do. She just has a high metabolism! Lucky girl.

We had nice weather over the weekend(80's) but now it is in the 60's and rainy. But I was kind of sick of the warm weather and am welcoming the cooler air that is coming in.

John calls about every other day and is doing just fine. He flies about 3-4 times per week and is spending his off time at the gym or studying for his master's class he started a couple of weeks ago.

Maddie's cheesy grin :)

And this is JJ with bedhead.






Our college age neighbor went to a bible college and had to do an internship ministering to children. She has been teaching JJ bible lessons the last 6 weeks and he is finally finished!
