Help

It has been crazy around here with school, dance, hockey and just getting back into a normal routine. I am happy that we are not dealing with seizures, doctors, blood work and medicine changes. It has been a calm January so far and I am so excited about that. I take a deep breath and think.... wow this is what "Normal" feels like. With all that being said, we do have a few issues I'm still trying to figure out. Does anyone have any experience with impulse issues? Jared and I need help getting Bailey to focus a little more. I don't know if her impulse issues are because of the medications, seizures, surgery or if it is simply just who she is. Bailey is such a goof ball and loves to be the center of attention. I love her personality and I don't want to change it, but I also see that we are running into  problems with dance, homework and trying to get her caught up. Can anyone point us is the right direction? I know she is three and asking a three year old to sit for 30 minutes in a challenge and really almost impossible. I am just looking for enough attention to work with me for maybe 10 minutes at a time.
                                               




Bailey has been up to a lot of fun things since we have been home from the hospital

Dance
She is potty trained!!!
School
And performed in a half time show for the local High School Basket Ball Game!!

She is getting strong everyday and so far we have not seen any issues come up. I am looking forward to hopefully reducing her medications a little when we go back to Cleveland for her 6 month appointment. I think this will help Bailey with her sleeping issues at night and hopefully keep her more awake during the day.
