That's what it looked like to me, can't hold him still again. No,in fact he is pretty sure footed for a 2 year old. He loves to run up and down our long hallway, it goes through the house and I worry he will fall and whack his head on the tile. Other then the answering machine he is a pretty good little kid. He doesn't bother glassware sitting around and outside just touches the flowers and doesn't tear them off. She has done a lot right with him. She told us to smack him to leave the phone alone but I hate to. A sharp no from me generally works. As she told son last night, he now says the word no.
He likes his toys we got and will play with them a long time also baby TV which we limit. Hubby and he will play with his Ipad about an hour in the evening.
He likes going to bed with grandpa and pushing the buttons on the bed controller, has it going up and down and on massage, really likes that. He likes watching TV with him. Last night I caught them playing peek a boo. He was having a great time. Does them both good, I wish hubby had had the time and patience to play with son like that. He laughs all evening with grandpa, very sweet to hear. He and grandpa are now working on the number 4, he consistently picks out 1,2, and 3 now. He likes to do it from some sudoko game on the Ipad. Now bad for a week.
There is something with his eyes, hope we find out, just odd, but yet he seems to see everything, so who knows.
Yes I told her yesterday afternoon. She seemed in a bad mood yesterday morning, not sure why. I would imagine this is hard so I'm trying to be nice. But leaving her home, husband, and putting up with old people she only knows over Skype. But honestly, just help me a bit and we aren't that hard to live with.
I'm going to go lay back down for awhile, I'm tired. remember how hard it was for you and hubby to adjust when he retired and came home to live. she is in a foreign country with foreign people and may need a day or two to adjust. maybe she is overwhelmed with living with someone who never stops. its not her house so maybe she is hesitant about jumping in for fear of not doing it right. I am in awe of her that she is taking such a big leap and uprooting her life and life of her child. Not sure I would do that given the exact same set of circumstances.

Yes, she is a nice person and obviously loves grandson. He is not attaching to me as much as grandpa, but I never did really attract little kids. He doesn't like I tell him no.
She is worrying about me caring for him when she goes back to Korea, but I told her not to worry. DH will have the one house done by then and he can help and will. Yes, its almost more then I can do, he weighs over 35 pounds and if he has a tantrum I can't believe I can't get ahold of him. What a difference the last 6 months has done to me, I'm so sad to be getting old, son and she waited to long.
We will manage if I have to will hire someone to help.

DIL is so worried about him she broke down in the doctors office crying and trying to explain. The doctor tried to tell her not to worry. I felt so sorry for her but some of the issues I do not see. The ones I do are hearing, maybe, visual, definitely.
She saw the visual problems we have and is referring him to a pediatric opthamalogist or similar at Riley Hospital in Indianapolis, there are none in our nearby city of almost 100,000! There used to be as DD went to one. They are also going to run a CBC panel and lead level check, I got excited on that one, they said its standard on all kids now to check for lead, whew! Also sending him to an ear specialist to check his ears, none of those too earthshaking. He is in the 99th percentile for kids his age in height. But the concern is his head size, going to get a catscan. She said when he was born they were going to do a C section because of the size but she did not. His dad has a pretty big head as does grandpa, she said some in her family does too but still its 2 percentiles bigger. She knows he is getting a scan but I did not go into the reasons as she will just panic. I explained to son and told him to be sympathetic when they talk
He is learning words, grandpa is helping. He learned circle from me yesterday and we have a shapes board with 6 or 8 shapes he can place easily. I think concentrating on English in just 2 weeks has worked well. He can say a lot of words, grandpa is working on 4 now, he has 1, 2, and 3 down as to indentifying, we will see what the tests come back with. 3 pretty much down. He sings the ABC song also.

Today he has learned to say and identify a circle and says thank you.
Tonight he is running down the hall backwards.
He is learning, no judgments from me until I see anything in black and white.
Whoops he weighs 30.4 pounds not 35.

Looks like closing on the duplex Aug 16th, so that is a good thing. I believe we will net about $117k. Way less then we wanted but good clean contract, they could not find comps so they had to get a second appraisal at $1800 plus another inspection, not sure think $600 or so, still should be worth it to them I hope. It cost them a lot to buy it. They paid $130k, had about $40k down. We would have kept it if we lived there. Likely not to long till another roof needed though that one looks good still, I'm not sure when it was put on, but some time back, I just can't remember.
Also will need new windows and will need siding within the next 5 years or we think it might and we would have had to change tenants and deal with it from up here, not something we wanted to do. But right now after we had it painted, DH did some window fixing, etc it looks really good and hopefully will serve them well for the next 5 years. One furnace and AC less then 5 years, the other set about 10. They still got a good deal. And we are thrilled to quit messing with it down there. We paid $35k in 1995 and had it rented all these years, never ran a loss it was a great investment.

We are getting docs appointments and evaluations for little guy
His getting the blood work and cat scan Thursday of this week
Sept 7th to Indianapolis for his eyes
Going to pediatrics for speech evaluation, his mom can't speak good English, she wants to go to English classes, pronunciation is a big issue for her
Then to audiology, sounds pretty thorough and we should know more after these, I hope.
We wanted to head to New York the first week of September, I'm afraid to wait to long, don't want to be driving the motorhome in snow.
They are playing peek a boo now, grandpa started that.
Like I said, he LOVES grandpa, not grandma so much, not sure why, guess I say no to often though grandpa does too, I just never appealed to little kids. LOL! Grandpa kept him most of the day yesterday, we went to the show, ate out, went shopping. Hubby took him to visit his mom and aunt, said they all had a great time with him. He didn't want ice cream or McDonalds, strange kid.
They got through playing on the couch and he picks up the pillows and puts them back in the chair, does the same with his sippy cup when done puts it up on the counter, now to me that is just plain weird.

DIL picked a ton of peaches, oh heaven help us.
We dried peaches last night and canned 7 quarts. As hubby says you haven't even touched them, yep. I told DIL you picked them, going to have to help me can and dry them. They aren't large either but sure taste good. Going to send these with them to New York also tomatoes if we can more and juice. I have all we need. She doesn't want to waste anything.
I was just going to dry some peaches and that was it.
DD is sensing the tension in the house. We are not voicing it but we are all concerned about little guy. I am going to up her meds tonight as she was mad and not cooperative this morning. She is also jealous I'm sure. She is not good about sharing our attention with others.
Little guy loves his grandpa, got in bed with him last night. Had his bunny, 2 blankets, and his cup. They watched TV together for hours, he went to sleep with him and DIL had to move him to his bed. I'm so glad he has attached so well to him, think he misses his dad a lot also.
Tomorrow we get the cat scan done and his blood work, two hurdles out of the way. Going to be a long day. Waiting on appointments for speech evaluation and hearing exam.
Won't get his vision checked until Sept 7th, long time away. We wanted to head out to New York first of the month, don't want to wait to long, could be snowing up there and you try not to drive motorhomes in the snow.

Got the closing docs for the duplex in Texas, had to scramble to get it all signed and in to Fed Ex drop box. Money should be wired tomorrow. That is one less worry off our minds. Glad to get it over with.
Going to dry my hair and hit the sack. Got it cut and colored today, she blows it dry but I like it rolled so always come home and redo it. She gives a great cut and color.

I live not too far from where your son and DIL will be living. I can say with 99% certainty that it will not be snowing in the beginning of September.

I just noted the RV parks close middle of October. We have a docs appoint Sept 7th so have to be back.
Went to see the cardiologist, looks like I had a heart attack, don't know when. The only symptoms appear to be my really really being tired and he noted it was in the bottom. Going to get an ultrasound done in Sept to check and it, also check my B12 level. They did another EKG today, he told me to take baby aspirin daily He wants to check and make sure no heart valves have been damaged. If the ultrasound comes back funny they are going to do a heart catherization, but he thinks I'm fine.
I told him when I had the pain and felt so bad I took 2 aspirin 1 time, and 3 the next, he said that was good. However, if I had anything like that again, I'm calling an ambulance or going to the ER.
I'm not sure about driving to New York, I'm very tired.

I'm glad it wasn't any worse and you seem to be recovering. Could your hubby drive you to New York? Maybe you should slow down a bit, at least until your doc figures out everything that's going on?

I'm not sure about driving to New York, I'm very tired. I'm not surprised you missed the heart attack. I've heard the symptoms are very different for women than for women. Good plan on calling the ambulance or going to the ER. I'm slow to call an ambulance and have almost gotten myself in trouble a few times because I didn't know how I would get DH out of the car. One time DH went by ambulance to the ER because I couldn't get him the car. I imagined them checking him out, tweaking something, and sending him home. This was before I gained vast knowledge of how ERs work, particularly with DH. I actually called my son, the one with four kids, and said you will HAVE to come help me get him in the house. I won't be able to do it. He agreed because he knew how desperate I am. I wondered then and wonder now: Do ambulances ever take people home? Does insurance ever pay for it?

I doubt that your local city/county fire & rescue service would take someone home. That said, working at the VA we see private medical transport units parked daily to transport patients to and from wherever. You might want to look into that service. However, since I also have a heart issue, I want trained paramedics to transport me to the hospital, so I have called the 911 when I've needed it.

I think they have the same services here to take someone home. But I'm pretty sure its private pay.

When I was released from hospital, I was asked if somebody was coming or if I was going by ambulance. I never checked in to insurance coverage (Medicare) because I had a driver.

Last weekend we visited DGD1 and her husband and babies-those little guys are so sweet! All seem to be doing well though the parents are a bit sleep deprived . We visited with them for several hours and ordered pizza for dinner. Sunday morning met DS1 and DDIL for breakfast then headed back to Houston. DH felt pretty good last week and over the weekend but this week has been rough with nausea periodically and a lot of pain. The pain affects him most when he has to get on the table for the radiotherapy treatment. The treatment has greatly increased the mobility in his shoulder but he decided he's had enough of it today so will not be returning to that. We see the oncologist next week and he'll probably resume chemo. All the GKs down here will be starting school, one set next Monday and the others on the 28th. Right now it's just terribly hot and humid.

I feel sorry for DIL, she wasn't happy in S Korea don't think she is going to be happy here either.
She wants all fresh or frozen foods now. I have lots of frozen but doesn't want ours. I was going to take them sightseeing today but couldn't get home quick enough, buying a car getting insurance, etc is time consuming. Then she decided not to go. Now after a nap wants to go to Walmart, they sell little frozen food and no fresh in our town, its a small one. Picked all those peaches they are rotting, tried to explain not all at once. She doesn't get priorities at all.
I'm seeing the rolling eyes thing with me, sorry I'm not sure what to do. I have a hard time understanding her, so did people in the store the other day. She got upset with them and I think me too. I'm trying to help.
I have no idea how to help her, is on the phone half a day with sister and other friends. Wouldn't surprise me if she up and moves to Seattle, son has no job there and he can't afford to quit an excellent job to keep her happy. She has always been moody and gets depressed. You know I can't even imagine going from one culture to another, it must be so difficult.
She and her friends apparently think in America you just sit around with neighbors and visit all day, they are surprised you don't. I said I don't know anyone that does. She thinks if she lives in town she can do that, everybody I know that does live in town pretty much stays to themselves or works.
Now if you have church friends or people from a tavern ok, but not the route I want to go. Wish I could help, just don't know how. I will be fine, but not sure if she will be.
And then on top of it, I'm so tired and having a hard time keeping up with everything, the canning had to go by the wayside, I can't do it all right now. Want to get the ultrasound to see how things are. She is wanting DH to babysit and he will but not all the time, he has work to do. I hope having children wasn't all that idealized either. For some reason the little guy gets upset with me. Loves grandpa to pieces, took up with a total stranger but not so much with me. That doesn't help as I try to keep him so she can do things.
We were going to go to New York but not sure I can drive up there and back right now, we shall see.
She needs to take her car and go drive it and doesn't, we have gone over the same routes over and over. If she goes little guy will calm down ok. Tough for her for sure.
And son right now is dealing with all kinds of issues in S Korea, lot of stress at work for him, stress at home, he is starting another big exercise. What can I say.

countrygirl2, just ignore the eye-rolling. One thing I loved about my MIL was her response was always, "Well . . . " Just don't get suckered into it. She isn't there for you to entertain. Don't treat her so much like a visitor. Tell her that you know she will need to wash her and the little guy's clothes and show her how to operate the washer/dryer. Tell her that you aren't feeling well so you need help with x. Maybe it's cooking dinner. Maybe it's vacuuming. I found that once my MIL gave me a job to do . . . make tea, set the table, load the dishwasher, whatever . . . I claimed that job at every family function. A lot of time people just don't know what to do or how you like stuff done so they don't offer to help. That's why I claimed the things she showed me how to do. Get her a good car seat and encourage her to take the little guy with her. He is her child, not yours. It will be ok. How long has she been here? Not long, I think.

Why would she need a babysitter? I never had one. It's not like she's working at a job or even doing the housework or cooking. I think she needs to be helping you out, not you helping her so much.
I get that it takes a while to adjust, but you seem overwhelmed and she seems bored. If she would take some of the load off you, everyone might be better off.
What's with the eye-rolling? That seems disrespectful to me.
Maybe the both of you could collaborate on meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking?

I cooked tonight, but when clean up happened, I put some stuff away and left the rest. I told her before dinner we need to organize better, I don't like to leave dirty dishes and stuff sitting around. That doesn't seem to bother her, I cleaned and cooked quite a bit when I went to Korea. She will jump in and work hard for awhile, then that's it.
Tonight I went and sat down at the computer, she said are we going to town. I said well all this needs to be cleaned up first, she got the message and we did it.
But coming home she carried a few things in then went to play with little guy! I really hate to say, hey lets put all this away first. Like I said, no idea how to prioritize, don't think her mom showed her how to do anything.
She took a nap during part of dinner prep. Said oh I want to learn to make noodles, well I'm doing it. Says oh my aunt showed me how, then after dinner, I want to learn to make noodles??
Yes, I am overwhelmed, I give up on canning, I just can't do it and cook, laundry, etc, I'm tired.
I certainly don't want to cause a rift, I heard son tell her to help me. Husband thinks she just doesn't realize what it takes to run a house. She gets upset with son because he doesn't help her more and she doesn't work! I would like to pitch the cellphone, might help her a lot. But she is not the only one for sure, most young people are like that. It just seems to be the way they are now.
I do approve of her spending an hour or two with little guy outside, that's good for him. She told hubby she would like to help that she is bored, but like he said, he doesn't think she could stick with it long enough. She mowed some the other day and like that.
Oh well, its till January or so and we enjoy having them, just wish I weren't so old.

Little guy up singing in the mornings, that's certainly a pleasant thing to hear.
DD was having a fit this morning, had to have an ibuprophen or no, even after I gave it to her could not get her to shut up and it escalated. Damn, one of those days.

DIL is really mad. She had an aunt that was going to come and visit, she was looking forward to it. Well Putin closed all the American embassies but one and now everyone has to travel to Moscow to get papers. She said for people like her aunt they can't afford it, said the trip is far, kind of like us going clear across to the other side of the country to get visas, etc then stay and wait for them I suppose, then back again. She has never been to Moscow it was so expensive. We were talking about visiting St Petersburg and Moscow one day, doubt that will happen.

I don't know the details, perhaps her mom and son may be helping I don't know. She said its extremely expensive and roads not good in Russia, so I don't know.
DIL was going to go visit her parents one last time and take grandson to see her dad. She said probably the only time he will get to see him. But she worried about the horrible travel conditions, food, and medical care if needed for him and decided not to go.
You should hear about her dental procedures that were done without anesthesia and a foot pedaled drill. OH MY GOD! Sounded like medieval torture, she said she passed out the pain was so bad. Said its better now though.
They are completely across the country toward the Aleutian Islands up north of N Korea, maybe she just can't afford all of it added to the cost of coming. I don't know all the details she was fuming. She does not like Putin at all or trump. Wise gal, she said trump is like putin.

I drove DH to his dental appointment, took him home, and dropped off his script. I went to PO to get mail because a resident knocked over three rows of boxes and PO will not deliver the mail until the boxes are upright. I hope the boxes are fixed soon.

Nephew is married to a Ukranian. Medical and dental care in Ukraine are atrocious. Niece's sister was married to a "dentist". He had no training. The sister was a dental assistant with no training.
He couldn't live without his mother, so moved back home. When the US Embassy called him about custody of their son, he denied ever knowing the sister so that wasn't an issue.
When the sister was coming to the US to live, part of the physical is a test for small pox, It took 6 weeks to get the results back. Luckily, my nephew's wife had received a small pox vaccination at the college she attended in US so no test for her.

Yes, I worry, she is saying she is bored, I warned her that America would not be like it is there before she came. They can't stay where they are anyway, they are moving Americans out of there so that is not an option.
She has this deal she needs friends, she can't understand why daycare isn't available and she can't just find one. I told her here its a real luxury for moms to get to stay home with their kids and not have to put them in daycare. They have waiting lists at all the good ones. Apparently they do in Russia too, why?? I'm going to ask. She thinks there should be playgrounds all around where you have to work, you may find one.
She said he needs other kids to develop properly, hell, our speech and articulation is 10 times better then some of the poor workers in a day care here. I am very stressed tonight, I hope she gets off this. Now talking about taking him to a psychiatrist. Dear God, I finally said you want to really mess him up and get him on psychiatric drugs do that. I feel so sorry for him and our son She can't understand why everything is so far away, it is all over this country unless you live in a city. The cultural differences are tremendous. She was a very unhappy person in Korea, same here.

He is 2 years old. Why would he need a psychiatrist. From what you have written, it sure doesn't sound like it.

Yes, most of life is boring. I basically get up, go to work, come home, relax a little, and to to bed. Life is a little more interesting on the weekends. Life wasn't much better when I was a stay-at-home parent. Work was taking care of my kids. Don't be passive-aggressive, though. Getting on your computer when the kitchen needs cleaning up was wrong. Instead, after the meal, you simply tell her that you two have to clean the kitchen. Would she rather wash the plates or wipe down the countertops? Taking a nap during prep or clean-up work isn't an option. You need to provide leadership. But don't expect her to mind read.
