Supplies

We got WIC!

Funny, when I first started doing foster care I was so embarrassed to use the WIC vouchers at the store. I find that now I don't care what others think. Is it an old age thing where you stop worrying what others think about you so much?
.
I was glad to get those vouchers. With the cost of equipment, clothing, shoes, and formula we were way beyond the $300 and change that DSS pays us a month. I won't say how much because my husband reads my blog and I don't want to be responsible for his heart failure.
.
Now I just need to determine where to store the stuff! We haven't found a good place for bottles and sippy cups, they sit on the countertop. Little toys, bottles, cups, shoes, diapers, wipes and baby equipment have invaded our home. In a few weeks it could just as quickly all be gone out to the garage to wait on the next child, who may need totally different equipment and supplies.

I went to Larissa's IEP today. We actually had a good meeting. Larissa will be going to 4K in the morning and special ed in the afternoon. However, I will be picking her up a little early. She will also be attending her speech class in the afternoon with the 4K kids. The biggest deciding factor for me was Larissa, she really enjoys the interactions in the "second class" as she calls it.
.
I have concerns about her going all day because of her uncontrolled seizures, she is frequently tired. I hope that the doctors can get it under control soon. She sees her neurologist on Monday, I believe he will be making a change in her meds.
.
The psychologist in this meeting is also over Anthony's school. I asked her why I hadn't heard about a meeting for her and she said that they hadn't gotten all the paperwork from Texas. I guess that gives me a new project to work on. I really need to talk with his teacher to see how he is doing. he has gotten yellow two days in a row now. Is it his behavior is changing or is she less lenient now that school has been in for a while.
.
Well, guess I'd better go. I think I will go and look for those evaluations that they are missing for Anthony, I keep copies of everything.
