Coolest Present Ever!

Image
By
For Caleb's birthday, we gave him a gift that keeps on giving...an "Ok to Wake!" alarm clock!!  This little guy, whom he affectionately named Wakey Wakey, is a regular alarm clock, a naptimer, AND...you can set it to tell kids when it is okay to get out of bed in the morning!!!  Yay!

You  may think this a little harsh, but you gotta understand...Caleb is a 6 a.m. waker...or earlier!  And once he's up, there is NO going back to bed.  Since he's not one to just play on his own and let us sleep, that means that we are also early risers.  We aren't making him stay asleep...he's just not supposed to come out of his room until Wakey Wakey turns green.  (unless, of course, it's to go to the bathroom!)

The best part is that Caleb LOVES it!  The day after his birthday, he came into our room at the very acceptable hour of 7 a.m. to announce that Wakey Wakey was green.  Maybe we should make it a little later every day...not that we will ever sleep in again!  :)

So if you also have an early riser in your family who needs a little extra incentive to stay in bed, try out the Okay to Wake Alarm Clock! 

**Nope, no money for this post.  I just figured that it might help out someone who is lacking a little sleep.

We have one for Alethia too. The problem is that she is sure that the clock turned green & she just missed it so she gets up before it turns green :)

You need to send it with him to Nina and Paw Paw's house.

Hi Julie - got a little behind on your blog then realized it was the 17th - 1 day before the big day!! so I got on here and caught up. I know it's incredibly stressful (well, I can imagine) but I know you will do just fine getting your girl home and settled in! You can count on Rog and I to be praying you through these next coming weeks. Jane B

Um, we could have used wakey wakey at our house too....you should have considered giving it to him for like Columbus Day or something instead of his birthday. :)

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...
