The trees and plants are all starting to bloom here. I love the winter but I am also ready for Springtime! Changes are a happening. For one, Noodles has moved out of his crib and has a new big-boy bed. I am happy to report that the first night sleeping in it only resulted in waking up once at 1am. One of LJ's ear tubes also fell out, so we are scheduled to have that replaced on Tuesday. It should be a relatively quick procedure...the only downside is that he will be having anesthesia yet again. Ugh. And since Noodles got new digs, so did Nate! Nate is now the super, proud big boy with a new-to-us bunk bed (Thanks D!). He loves the top bunk. "The upstairs bed is his favorite part because it's bigger then the ceiling!" More pictures to come.
Didi just finished a master sewing project. Megan ( LJ's physical therapist) dropped off a harness and was wondering if we could get Didi's help making something similar. Apparently this version is no longer available at retail in the US. It is used to help kiddos walk and it looks, more or less, like a reinforced onesie with long loops coming off each shoulder. It allows the parent to stand up straight and use the straps to help hold the kid upright. Its a much quicker get up than putting LJ into his gait trainer especially if its gonna be for just a short time. Now we have one with adjustable straps for either Josh or me to use. Plus now Megan has one!!
Didi did a fantastic job and Noodles got to try them out this weekend. He and his parentals are very pleased. I think Didi could go into business with the demand for these adapted-type solutions for everyday problems in the life of a special needs child.
And completely unrelated, here is a picture if LJ with Emily at Monkey Business. Its a music and movement class with lots of typically developing kiddos around LJ's age.
