We want to get bikes for everyone, but it is tough because of dd1. She doesn't really ride yet. She actually got on an pedaled a few feet last weekend (she is almost 11) for the first time! But she says she hates it. We don't want to exclude her, but everyone else wants to ride. She can't help it, though... I remember on the Asperger's screening thingy, riding a bike was one of the questions! I do plan on getting a balance bike for J.
Jasper is sleeping so poorly it is unbelievable. I did not sleep at all last night. I am not exaggerating. I had to stay home from work due to sleep deprivation. So not cool. He slept fitfully all night, with long breaks to scream and cry, despite nursing. He finally slept solidly from 5:30-8:30, when I had to get up with the other kids. I had dh take him to daycare (yes, I am a bad mom!) and I slept from 9-1. Most sleep I've gotten all week.
We actually took his crib away from our bed and set it up separately with all four sides on. I got him this sleep snail thing that hooks on the crib and plays nature sounds with soothing lights. And he screamed his head off just being set in it during the day. Like screaming until he was choking. While we were standing right there, touching him, and he was in there for 30 seconds. He is not ready. Crib is in side car position again. Lol.
Ok, going to try to sleep somewhere other than our room for a while. Maybe that will extend Jasper's sleeping time. We are in full on desperation mode here.
