The Noodle

I picked up the kids today only to discover Noodle's teacher looking like she was at her wits end. Apparently, my daughter was in rare form today. I also found out there is a behavior book they keep daily to let us know how our children are doing that my husband didn't share with me and I had no idea existed. Let's just say it has alot of "comments" in it. When I told her that I was ADHD, my son is ADHD, and I suspected noodle is ADHD she got this look of relief on her face. You would have thought I had lifted a weight off of her shoulders. I think she thought she was going to have to argue with me about it.

I was hoping to go another year, at least, before approaching this subject with her Dr and my husband but I guess it's time. I thought my Husband was going to scream when I brought it up with him. I just kind of grazed the subject I'll go into more depth with him later. Though the fact she is harder to handle than her brother should have been a tip off for him. I also don't think her teachers have the first clue how to handle her type of personality they just want to see meds take care of everything. I will make them no promises there. I'm not against the meds obviously, but I think they should be saved for older kids.
