The RBI visit

Well, our ECI Specialist said I gave her a ton of info, and it was really good. She says she has trouble with a lot of parents not providing ENOUGH information.

Just a reminder, an RBI is where they interview me on his day, from waking up to bedtime. Then they ask me to rate simple activities during our day, and if I'd like to see improvement in those areas.

Next week the Occupational Therapist comes again with our ECI Specialist, and they hang out with Dylan again, and we map out our plan.

Last night Kenny and I were at each other's throat. He was biting my head off and riding my ass for no reason. I mean, he was really yelling at me. I was so confused.

"What the hell is your problem?" I asked him. He said he had a migraine, and was just trying to deal with it so he could help me out. I rushed him off to our bedroom. He was incapable to help me in his state. It was pretty bad.

He made up for his asinine behavior with some Cinnamon Crunch bagels from Panera bread. Yum! I do love the man, and he knows my weaknesses.

Right now, with Dylan whining and Kenny getting frustrated with him I can barely think. Sigh.

I told the ECI Specialist I'd like to improve my time spent with Dylan, like the times in between meals, you know? And our "hanging out as a family time". I just think there's so much more we can be doing. They'll give me tools and tips on how to utilize all of this.

I want to write more, especially just to spill my thoughts and vents but I feel a headache coming on.
