Tumble

Last week, I was in the secret room (what we call the storage room off of the top of our stairs) and found the giant boxes our car seats came in. We no longer have these car seats, so I saw no reason to save the boxes!  I put one out on the landing and went back in to get the other.  (Do you see where this is going?)

I was grabbing the other box when I heard a crash.  I called Caleb's name, got no response, and ran out to see the box at the bottom of the stairs.  I called his name again, a little more frantically this time, and he still didn't answer.  I tore down the stairs and opened the flaps of the box to find him staring a little dazedly up at me, but otherwise fine.  Matt came in from the kitchen to see what the commotion was, and we both checked to make sure that he was okay.  He was scared and cried a bit, but he was alright.

Turns out, Caleb crawled into the box and sent it down the stairs.  He said that it rolled a couple of times, and I believe him from the tangled mess of arms and legs he was when I got to him! 

So what does Matt do?  Send him down again!!  (And for the record, lest you people think I'm an overprotective mother who won't let her kid just be a boy, Caleb didn't want to go!  Matt made him!  I'm not Mean Mommy, he's Mean Daddy!)  At least this time, made sure the box slid down the stairs instead of rolling.

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

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 never wi

Bath Time Photos!!

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

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 most of the words to the songs, so
