My big David

When I posted about Ryan a week & a half ago I had every intention of posting about all 3 kids. And here I am, finally getting around to it. So here's what's going on in the life of David...


David is on a baseball team through Eagle Mountain (he's third from the left in the back). And here they have them do coach pitch at 5 years old! If they don't hit it after several tries they can hit it off the tee, but I remember being much older than that and ONLY hitting it off the tee!


Also, I took David to see a child psychologist, May 6th I believe. He also thinks ADHD is likely, but wants to make sure that we have all the symptoms first. I think this doctor is exactly what I've been looking for. He isn't going to give me meds just from one conversation, but he isn't going to make me wait until David hates school and grows up to be a delinquent. He wants to try some natural type things first, like cutting sugar out (oops...not sure if I'm supposed to be doing that yet!), which sounds good. The only problem is that there are so few child psychologists and so many children in Utah county, the next appt I was able to make was 3 weeks out. Hopefully we can get this all under control by school starting in the fall!

Oh, and David learned how to ride his bike without training wheels! He had a friend over that was doing it, so I took his off to give it a shot. He couldn't do it and got really frustrated. Two days later, I took this video!

he's so grown up! he isn't even in kindergarten and they make them hit from a pitched ball?! crazy. he's quite the athlete! he's really good at riding his bike, but shouldn't he be wearing a helmet? :) I don't ever remember wearing one.

tell David that we miss him and love him! and tell him this joke:
knock knock
who's there?
amos
amos who?
a mosquito bit me!
or
knock knock
who's there?
who
who who?
is there an owl in here?
