Is that on the schedule?

It's gotta be on the schedule!

We found early on with our boys, like I am talking since birth, that a schedule is super important.  With Brain Balance it is even that much more important.  Our boys thrive on a schedule and we seem to have one that is working nicely.  They have settled in.  It goes a little something like this:

M-F

6:00 a.m.    Wake Up
6:20 a.m.    Do first set of Brain Balance Exercises
6:50 ish      Start eating breakfast/ take vitamins/take meds

Saturday

Sunday

9:00, 11:00, 1:00, 3:00 and 5:00  are the exercise times. 
7:00 p.m. is Family Movie Night

There it is in a nutshell....our days.  However, that schedule will be changed beginning next week.  On Tuesday, September 4th we start our official Brain Balance Sessions.  The boys will go every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for one hour.  This has to be worked in with the rest of the schedule.....yep, we have to find a different one that is gonna work.  They still have to keep the other exercises, plus add the new sessions. 

Is is working?  I am getting asked that a lot lately.  Yes, I believe it is.  Over the past few days there have been some noticeable changes.  Things that others might not notice, but stand out to Chris and I.  Example:  Friday night, Nathan suggested we go to the Washington City Community Center to swim and then go bowling.  Wow!  Nathan never wants to leave the house, except to go to Target.  We ended up going bowling and had a ton of fun!  All thanks to Nathan!   R.D. has been the most organized at school that I've ever seen him. He is taking more care to try and get it right.  We have less mood swings already.  They are performing their exercises better and getting stronger.  I am so excited to start our sessions next week.  The changes are gonna be off the chart, and I can't wait. 

How is the nutrition going?  Well, I bet you don't get this dinner request at your house...."Mom, can you make spaghetti squash with bison meatballs?"  Yeah, those are the kinds of things you hear around our house now.
