UC Davis MIND Institute. This is where we took Daniel for developmental pediatrics appointments and where they told me that if I wasn’t having the ADOS done the next week, they’d be administering it themselves. They were started by some families of autistic kids who wanted to help the community by finding out more about autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. If you want the latest research on autism, it’s a good place to start. Their website is here.
Doctors offices that send the paperwork to you before you see them. Bonus points are awarded if they email it to you along with driving directions. As much as I really wanted to go to bed and stop having to be a responsible adult tonight when I got home from choir, it was a lot easier to fill out all the info while having a Coke and not having to corral my kid while doing it.
The new S’mores Frappucino at $tarbux. I tried it yesterday and loved it. I had to force myself to go with my usual order at $tarbux today (venti water with extra ice) instead of having another one because I knew I’d be going out to dinner tonight and wanted to conserve my calories for that.
Jon putting Daniel back to bed instead of me. My wee bairn is climbing into bed with us around midnight or 1 a.m. and usually I’m the one who has to put him back in his own bed and get him back to sleep in it. Last night, Jon took care of that so I could sleep. Tonight, he fell asleep in Daniel’s bed so I might have my own bed tonight. *crosses fingers*
Go love up Rachel and the others.
In this day and age there’s no reason why #3 isn’t a thing. I’d much rather fill out paperwork at home than in a doctor’s office…esp when it comes to needing to remember dates and other information.
I agree with Beth Anne on #3. A lot of docs I’ve seen lately have all their paperwork online, so you can just download it and print it. I remember always hating those check-ups at like 6-24 months where they would give you a long survey of questions to answer with things like, “If you put a cheerio in an empty bottle, would your child figure out to turn the bottle upside down to get it out?” or “Can your child stack 5 blocks?” I would sit there in the waiting room screaming (in my head), “If you would freaking give me a bottle, a cheerio, and 5 blocks, I might be able to answer these questions!!!” Maybe they now put those online so parents can get them ahead of time!! I sure hope so. That was always a sore spot with me at our pediatrician office.
I love getting the paperwork done before the appointment too. Especially if I’ve got kids in tow 🙂 Thanks for linking up!
