We went to Spencer's doctor last week and he upped the dosage of Spencer's ADHD meds and his night medicine (to help him sleep). We have been having a hard time getting the kid to go to sleep even after taking his medicine because he is fighting it tooth and nail. After fussing with him for over an hour, I decided to try something. I played one of his music cds (that I had previously put on my ipod). IMMEDIATELY, the child cozied up on a pillow and calmed down. Whoa.
I guess he gets his love of music from me. I have recently discovered that I am the only wingnut who seems to need a personal anthem. Sometimes it is just a song I really like, or one that speaks to me. Right now, it is "Courage" by Orianthi. Here are the first few lines:
Take all my vicious words and turn them into something good.
Take all my preconceptions and let the truth be understood.
Take all my prize possessions, leave only what I need.
Take all my pieces of doubt and let me be what's underneath.
