Loving Kindergarten! (and some randomness)

So far both Karli & I are loving kindergarten.  She wakes up every morning and says "I go kingegarten again?"  It's such a relief to me to know that she enjoys school!  So far I'm really liking her teachers this year.  We met one of them at her ARD meeting in March and I got a good first impression and she's living up to it!  I had a meeting with them this past week to go over Karli's behavior plan.  We're getting rid of the official "Behavior Intervention Plan" or BIP for short and instead converting the plan to goals on her IEP so that it will allow them to change and/or modify how the behavior is dealt with instead of following a step by step plan that is set in stone.  The BIP was put in place by her PPCD teacher and just wasn't working.  I don't know if she matured some over the summer or if she just responds better to her new teachers but so far they are not having as many issues with her being aggressive and bolting from them and/or the classroom as they were having in PPCD.  At home one discipline technique might work for a day or a week or a month and then it won't work anymore, so flexibility with her is definitely needed! 

She had a dentist appointment this morning and we gave her Valium to help her relax.  Last time it didn't affect her much so I really thought I would take her back to school a couple of hours after the appointment.  Yeah, not so much.  Poor baby girl was so loopy and unstable on her feet!  It hit her hard this time so I ended up having to keep her home all day.  I had to take her up to my office for a little bit so I could do a couple of things and she was hugging and kissing everyone in sight!  She was SO sad she wasn't going to school, that's all she's asked me about all day.  She took a 3 hour nap and slept off the Valium and luckily woke up her normal self. 

She's still only wearing her CPAP for anywhere from 1-2 hours at night.  We bought her a twin bed last month and she LOVES it.  We do too because it's so much easier with the CPAP not having the bars of her crib/toddler bed to deal with.  We also started giving her the 3mg timed release melatonin and that had her sleeping well for about a week but she's back to waking up 3-4 times a night again.  Maybe one day she'll sleep all night with her CPAP on.  I can dream, right?  :) 

I'll post pictures soon.  I'm on my work laptop and all the pictures are on my laptop and I'm too lazy to switch computers at the moment!
