Lavender


This was one of the first oils used in my home.  The smell was a beautiful scent and we use it for many, many things throughout our home.  The best and most frequent use is for nighttime relaxation.  My children each have a roller ball bottle filled with several oils that they roll on before bed.  We just incorporated it into our nightly routine.  Right after brushing their teeth, while I'm tucking them in, I will either roll some oils on the bottom of their feet or they will.  It's super easy and they loved helping me make them.  This is a great first way to incorporate oils into your usual routine.

 Lavender is known for it's relaxing quality and is great to inhale when you've had a stressful day and you're home and want to unwind or settle down.  I carry Lavender with me in case I encounter an anxious situation.  I simply put one drop in my palm and rub my hands together and inhale deeply about 4-5 times.  It always puts me back in the right frame of mind.

Another Milestone Met!

Just past another milestone!  I noticed on his math facts that he has done very well on subtraction.  I also noticed the last 2 days he has written all of his numbers correctly - in the correct direction.  I asked him about it and if he did something different and he said - I just thought of it in my brain and all the numbers "point" this way (he pointed to the left). I said OH!  Great job buddy. So obviously something has "clicked" in his mind about the orientation of numbers. I'm so proud of him!!! In the eye therapy world this month he has to do right and left exercises.  The doctor explained it would help with orientation of his body in this world.  Not sure it was the exercises alone but something "clicked" for him over the past 2 weeks!!!

We were doing eye therapy tonight and I was asking CJ about how he sees words.  He said they get jumbled up when I look at them.  I said how do they jumble up?  he said they jumble up then look normal.  I said how fast?  He said you count and I'll tell you. I asked him if he could draw me a picture of what it looked like.  So he did.  And when we counted, it was 1-2 - jumbled.  1-2 normal.  1-2 normal  So we then tried it with his glasses on.  He said - no.  Clear.  Perfect.  Like they look on the paper.  I said are you sure?  We did several tests and each time he said they were jumbled or dots and each time we put the glasses on, the words were normal. Between each switch, I let his eyes rest for a few seconds.  Just to be sure we were giving them enough time to rest between glasses and no glasses.  I made him look at the same words on the pages as well. I tried the same test on his Hart chart (the one on the wall).  He said there were a lot of dots and they were j
