Sensory Assessment
So the appointment for the sensory assessment was yesterday. My mom picked all three of us up at 8 am, we drove for two hours (damned windy roads are NOT nice with morning sickness). We got to Monroeville, had NO idea where the place was and the directions SUCKED. So we finally find it, after 45 minutes of looking. The appointment takes all of an hour, and basically, the OT says she doesn’t think it’s sensory, as she thinks there would be more clear signs of it.
So we leave there, stop by target to return a trampoline part my mom bought that didn’t fit the one they were given. Then it’s off to Chuck E Cheese. OMG. If I never go again, it will be too soon. Unfortunately, Kellen LOVED it. He can’t wait to go again. So we’re talking about maybe later this summer, if we go somewhere to do baby shopping or my mom mentioned they might go school shopping near one. Basically, it was mediocre pizza, and a lot of noisy games.
I would’ve much rather gone to CiCi’s Pizza or Golden Corral ( I heart buffets).
We got home, with a bit of a fit on Kellen’s part when he realized he was coming back to my house for a bit. He wanted to go see Augie (their dog). We wound up heading over there around 6 anyway, and hubby helped my stepdad assemble the new trampoline mom bought. She figured that by the time she’d bought the needed parts, she’d be better off to buy a new one and return the stuff she’d bought for the one they were given. And if she’d known what all she would need, she never would’ve accepted the one they were given. But once Kellen was told he was getting a trampoline, it would be really hard to tell him he wasn’t getting one after all.
3 hours later, we finally got home. Kellen was getting a few minutes to jump on the trampoline, since it had taken so long to get it put up and together.
On the plus side, my mom seemed really happy to see us. She and the step-dad had had a spat, because he was supposed to put the trampoline up while we were in Monroeville and she was not happy to come home and find it not done, because Kellen was expecting it when he got home. Us showing up got her out of helping, since hubby was more than willing. And she and I talked a bit, and it was a nice talk, the kind I can’t ever remember us really having.
