Touch Wood everyone

Ok I neecd everyone to touch wood for me....say a pray...thank the gods, whatever it takes....I am now going on my second full good day with Mcgoo.  Can you believe it?  Haven't had to repeat myself at all.  She has gotten dressed on her own, gone to bed the first time I asked  her....has been asleep by 9:00 two nights in a row.  Ate all of her dinner, apologize for snatching the remote out of my hand with out me asking her to.  She is a totally different kid.  And from experience I know this will change as fast as the weather changes but for today I am totally enjoying just having a normal 5 year old daughter for a change.  

I have been reading up about food dyes.  Didn't know they give kids the same ADHD effects.  And of course just to screw up us parents, they hide the dye in there with big old names so we can't tell what is what....I just got used to MSG....now I have to look for Annaton and Annatoin which you would think is the same name, but nope, they change a letter and think we don't know what it is......This Annaton thing is a natural color taken from a plant so it gets to be labeled in with the "organic" stuff however if you read about it, it has the same effects as synthetic food dyes....UGH !!!!!! 

I have also put Mcgoo on fish oil.  two days of fish oil down and she is a new kid ?????  Coincidence????? Miracle drug????  Doctor really knowing what he is doing????  New hope????  Not sure but if everyone could just touch wood for me and wish me good day I would greatly appreciate it.....

  1. Fish oil... Interesting.... They always talk about fish oil for pregnant women for the brain development of the fetus. For the avaerage person they say it helps with memory, recall, reasoning and focus. I don't think it is just a coincedence with Shannon. Every little bit helps. Glad to see a natural way that is benifiting her!
