First Day of His Next 22 Years...

Image
By
Caleb started preschool on Tuesday!  He was very excited from the moment he woke up--probably even more so because we'd warned him that he might not be able to go because Daddy didn't take care of the medical form, but that's another story....





Buzz Lightyear backpack strapped on, we headed outside and got some "First Day of School" photos.














The time came to head out the car, and he took off, lunch box in hand!  (The same lunch box that held the darned sunflower butter sandwich that was thought to be peanut butter in our nut-free school because Matt forgot to tell the teacher.  The same lunch box that caused Caleb to have to eat by himself in a separate room to avoid the child with the nut allergy.  The same lunch box that caused Caleb to beg me not to pack him peanut butter again because he didn't want to get in trouble.  The same lunch box that now has a permanent note taped in letting the teachers know that any peanut-butter-suspicious-items are made with sunflower butter. But that's another story too...)





He was thrilled to go to school!  I wasn't able to go because of work (Under normal circumstances, I would have taken off in a heartbeat.  However, nothing is "normal" about these circumstances and I need to save every minute of leave that I have at this point!) so Matt took pictures for me!





He met his teachers, Ms. Theresa and Ms. Pam.  He adores Ms. Pam!!



He found the star with his name on it, chose a sticker for it, and then put his star next to the class job he wanted.  Naturally, he chose to feed the fish!  (Too bad the fish isn't there yet...)



We're working on the new routine of having him share about his school day and have started doing High Point, Low Point on each school day.  So far, it's been a bit of a struggle.  How can a three year old already answer the "What did you do today?" question with "I don't know"????  I ask him soooo many specific questions about his day, but it's hard to get him talking.  I hope they send home newsletters so that I have a clue of what they are learning. 

All in all, it was a successful first week of school!

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

By
If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it ...

Bath Time Photos!!

By
As promised, here are lots of photos of Abby's first bath. Caleb was supposed to be in bed, but the bathroom is right next to his room... "I'm not too sure about this..." Once she learned how to splash, she was all smiles! Her first good hair wash! Gotta protect the trach! She really liked getting water poured on her head.  It was cute! Smiley (and bubbly) for Daddy while he dried her off. All clean!!  (Note the Lysol wipes in that last picture.  They are NEVER far away!)

Imagination Movers Photo Recap

By
Seriously, The Imagination Movers were so much fun!  They played lots of their own music, with some classic rock mixed in for the adults.  There were also quite a few jokes and references to Baltimore, which was kind of fun.   The whole night centered around this robot named Rock-o-Matic, or "Rocko."   This is Mover Scott, and he wears Wobble Goggles that help him see new ideas.  Caleb and Abby have a pair of goggles too.  :) There are 4 main Movers that are part of the TV show, but they have 2 extra movers to play instruments and do back-up vocals in their live tour. Abby finished up her feed before the show started so that she would be free to dance! My dancing queen did NOT want to sit in my lap.  The row in front of us was empty, and that is where she stood almost the entire show--dancing the night away. My Imagination Movers  Caleb did his share of singing and dancing too.  He knows m...
