So true. My niece told my sister that our family was so lucky. She said

Birgitta was a real angel sent from heaven! I do believe that. There is such

a beauty and innocence that surrounds her that I do feel like I have an angel

in my house. Of course her sleep disorder changes that opinion around 4 am

when she has woken me up for the 5th time that evening but .....all well, I

guess there is still a human side to her LOL!

This is great timing! I just got half way through reading your message and

had that " warm, fuzzy, our children are angels from above, and we are blessed

to have them feeling " , and I heard an explosion in the tub. Went into to

see my little Mikey sitting in a tub full of poop!! And I just had to laugh and

say to myself, " Oh yeah, I'm blessed " !!!

Life is fun!

............<WBR>Ugh! I just HATE to come into the bathroom

sitting in a tub full of poop! That happens at least once a week. A

number of times we've come in to see poop all over the walls of her

room and floor. Last night it was all in her PJ's. I remember a poop

discussion here awhile back.

A boost to those of you dealing....it DOES go away. I swear, I thought

Maddie would ALWAYS poop in the tub. It did stop. She's finally potty

trained (although with a few accidents a week......it's a hoot.....if she can't

get good enough leverage, she gets off the toilet and squats on the

floor....Lovely).

Hey guys, I have to speak up in 's behalf ....... That poop in the

tub would be ours. (Mikey's that is). I was in the middle of reading a very

nice message from and feeling very blessed to have my little boy --

when I heard the blast from the bathroom. I went in to see it and felt " oh so

blessed " .

We are equally blessed with the poop. Janie takes off her pullup and

uses all her socks and shirts to clean herself up. Then the hands and

clothes go everywhere. She does the tub too.

Thank you Patty for taking the credit! At least I wasn't mistaking for

saying something really offensive. That happened to me on other group. I

responded to the offense and in turn someone else thought I was the original

poster

and blasted me big time. It left a sore taste in my mouth for that poster

who I thought I had a decent on line relationship with. Actually I knew that

person casually in real life which made it even worse.

Hey , Anytime...... actually, I'm getting rather sick and tired of

Mikey's messes. He's going through a stage where he won't keep his diaper on.

Ugh.

So sorry that happened to you on the other site. I know how that is --- my

feelings get hurt very easily and I would probably react the same way. Hope

things are better with that situation.

And by the way... I'm reading about the home schooling topic, and I have to

say that I give you mom's (and Dad's) all the credit in the world for doing

what your doing. It's amazing to me that you can do all that it takes to put

into a home school program and still run a household, and still keep your

sanity. God bless you guys who do this.

Blessing to you too. Patty

Our son has sleep issues too. What has really helped us is giving him

Melatonin each evening before bed.

We have tried several homeopathic remedies, herbal remedies, chinese etc etc

etc. I have yet to try melatonin because the naturopath I go to said there

can be adverse effects and may actually stimulate her!

I would be so ready to be institutionalized if that happened. She wakes so

often as it is. At least now she is content to suck on a bottle asI hold her

and pat her back and rock my body. I used to have to get up and rock her or

put her in a blanket and swing her between my legs. She is like a fish out

of water, wrestling, moving around, banging her head. It is like she isn't

comfortable in her own skin. I also know that part of this is the Fetal

Alcohol Syndrome - from what I understand almost all of these children have

sleep

issues. They never fall into rem sleep.

I did tell the naturopath that I am like a walking zombie some days and I am

going to have to do something so I do not loss it. He suggested giving her

..5 mg if I wantto try thge melatonin.

My dh has off the week after Christmas so I will wait until he is around and

doesn't have to work. This way if she does have a weird reaction and it

does stimulate her at least he will take the children in the morning and I will

sleep then.

Until then I will just put on another pot of coffee and remember that she is

an angel, she is an angel, she is an angel.................

Our son has sleep issues too. What has really helped us is giving him Melatonin

each evening before bed. He gets 1 milligram. This is something that you can

find OTC at any pharmacy and even Walmart or Kmart. I take it too, because I

have problems sleeping quite often. I found this info on the Internet & his

DR's approved.

There should be a special name for those of us who care for the

little angels we are sent.
