Just Another Manic Monday

Mondays are Sophia's therapy days.  They are typically pretty hectic days with our house serving as a hub for therapists coming and going.  Here's a glimpse at what today held...

1 am      -  Sophia wakes up for a feeding, then I put her back to sleep
3:30 am -  Up for another feeding, I attribute this to the fact that she is teething, I put her back to sleep
3:45 am -  She is still awake so Rusty gets up to give her Ibuprofen, I'm pretty tired so I let him handle  this one
7 am      -  Drew wakes up and wants to watch cartoons, Sophia follows suit
7:30 am -  I've gotten dressed, now it is time to get the kids dressed, fed and medication administered
8:35 am -  Everyone is dressed and ready to go, Sophia & I take Drew to school
9:30 am -  Vision therapist & mobility specialist are here - We work on getting Sophia to reach for things just beyond her arms length.  She is sitting independently now and we are wanting to encourage her to start crawling. 
10:30 am-  Mommy's counselor is here.  We talk about warm fuzzy things and the not so warm fuzzy things.
11:30 am-  Mommy's counselor leaves and it is time for us to go pick up Daddy for his Birthday Lunch
1:00 pm  -  Back at our house, I feed Sophia and put her down for a nap
2:30 pm  -  Sophia's physical therapist is supposed to be here, but she is running late...
3:05 pm  -  Sophia's PT shows up.  We work on getting Sophia comfortable with the way her body needs to move to start crawling.  She does not like this at all.
3:50 pm  -  We leave our house to head to Mommy's chiropractor. 
4:00 pm  -  Mommy's chiropractor is running late...everyone is running late today
4:15 pm  -  We see Mommy's chiropractor & Mommy feels so much better afterwards
4:38 pm  -  Back at our house.  Sophia's Occupational Therapist is here.  We work on getting her to sit in a side sitting position.  Yet again, she doesn't like this.  Towards the end of therapy she is getting very frustrated and tired.  Lots of tears and cuddling.
5:30 pm  -  Sophia's OT left her keys in her car - so she is waiting for her son to bring her keys
7:00 pm  -  Daddy gets home right as Sophia's OT is leaving.
7:20 pm  -  We all go pick up Drew from school.  Mommy has not had time to go to the grocery store today so we also have to go pick up dinner on the way home.
8:30 pm  -  Back at home.  Mommy & Daddy eat dinner while Drew watches cartoons and plays with Sophia's therapy toys.  Sophia is fast asleep after a full day of therapy.
9:00 pm  -  Just finished giving Drew a bath, Mommy & Daddy give Drew his medicine, brush his teeth, say nighttime prayers and tuck him in.
9:10 pm  -  Mommy & Daddy finally have a moment to talk.  Mommy types away on Sophia's blog while listening to Daddy.
11ish      -  Mommy & Daddy go to sleep, at least for a few hours.
