I love Sophie, and always will. She is a very unusually special little soul.

It doesn’t excuse that creepy lady, but I also would quite like to bring Sophie home with me. I could look at that little face all day.

my Sophia desperately needs intervention for her ADHD, but due to itty bitty-skinny-ness, she can’t take meds. We are trying to put weight on using a high-cal boost product. I keep wondering if she adds enough weight, will I really have to use meds? Maybe she will settle in to her own self just by being healthier? Endless cycle – up one hill, down another.

Don’t overlook food dyes
After the first few weeks it’s pretty easy to avoid them. You can get almost anything in the dye-free version at Trader Joes (cheetos, lollipops, yogurt). I do this for my boy and after a week I really did see a big difference. He adjusted fast; now he won’t touch any colored food (like school snacks) unless he is sure it’s dye-free. He is one of a few kids in his kindergarten class that can sit still, and before that he climbed the walls. Check out the research on it if you’re not already familiar; it’s amazing. You probably know this, but just in case try first.

She is so cute! Love the nails. Wish I could get Kayli to not chew her nails…

Well you’ll think it over and make a wise decision. You may not want to read my somewhat controversial FB post on today’s NYT article on ADHD treatment for youths…. For me I think if the pressure is about her happiness and meds would help that’s one thing but if it is about performance wait since our kids may need some extra time for more mature behavior to develop? I’d be unhappy with that friend too.

That photo is pure perfection, as is she! Meds are hard. I was VERY against my son taking ADD meds, but he shared with me his thoughts on it and calmed my concerns a bit. They work well for him and my fears were unfounded. Good luck finding the best solution for Sophie!
