ADHD

Well we were not very surprised to find that Ceilidh is ADHD. We have decided that we are going to true to treat this by adjusting her diet rather then medication. Most people believe that ADHD is caused by food allergies. One of the most common allergy is to red and yellow food dye. Well seeing how so many foods contain artificial colors, it makes sense.

We have removed all artificial colors from her diet, and have cut back the dairy products. Also we have stopped most refined sugars. This alone has made a very big difference in her behaviour.

On the suggestion of the Dr. we have also started her on Evening Primrose oil, and combinations of oils, that are designed to help focus. With all of these measures in place, she now a typical 5 year old, rather then an over hyper one.

I hope that when school starts that she will not have any trouble. The last thing we would like to do is to but her on medication.

Fun in Englishtown

What started out as just a drive, ended up at a stop at the beach. It was to first be to drip the toes into the water, and ended up with jumping right in. Morgaines hair would not stay in her ponytail, and was a wet mess full of sand.

Ceilidh the ham was more then willing to pose for the camera. I must say this is truely one of my favorite pictures of her.


Here she is again, snuggling into dad`s arm and grinning again for the camera.

The day provided lots of smiles and laughs. Even though my pretty little girls, got themselves so very wet and sandy. Fortunately I had not taken the towels from the day before out of the Jeep. Even so, we did end up with half the beach in the Jeep. Good thing it was Glenns job to clean out the Jeep after that unplanned trip to the beach.

P.E.I. Vacation.

Here are a few pic`s from our summer vacation to P.E.I. It was great fun!!! Even if everyone was sick while we were away. Heres a picture of Morgaine playing at a park in Charlettown.

Here is a picture of Ceilidh playing on a Spider Web. She was careful not to get stuck.

I was able to get this shot while we were headed to P.E.I. This is the two ferry`s passing. We had missed a ride on this ferry by one car. (Note to self next time make reservations)

This is us just missing the ride on the ferry. We did end up being the very first car on the next one. It was pretty frustrating however to be left behind:(

We were only gone for 4 days, however we did manage to pack in alot of fun during that time. I can`t wait till our next trip. We already have reservations made to go back next year.
