Mom's Morning Out

Image
By
The little lady had her last day of Mom's Morning Out last Friday.  This one-day-a-week program at our church is not technically a pre-school program, but the teachers do a wonderful job of doing all kinds of fabulous learning activities!  I have shared pictures in the past, but I really am amazed at all of the great experiences Abby's teacher has given her this year.

They do a very informal closing program on the last day.  I may have gotten a little teary eyed at the sight of my girl sitting up there on that stage...


My girl right before the program started

Before their Bible story, Ms. Valerie gives all of the students a little cup of Cheerios to keep them quiet so that they can enjoy a little snack while they listen.  For the closing program, she showed the parents how the Bible stories are done in their class.


Look how happy she is!!  In the beginning of the year, she wouldn't eat the Cheerios at all.  I think they usually ended up on the floor.  Now, she is usually close to finishing them!

Abby's favorite place to be...right on Ms. Sarah's lap! :) 


No better end to a day than by eating a popsicle...which she ate almost ALL of for the very first time ever!! 


Abby with her awesome teachers!


Because Abby has a late birthday, she will be repeating this class again--which means we get another year with these fabulous ladies!  I'm so excited!!

Well, you have every right to get "a little teary-eyed", Mom!! ;-D
I love, love, love that first picture of Abby!! ;)
Question. Does Abby still have her g-tube "button"? I have "met" a rather unusual amount of kids through Blogging who need them. So!! This premature short-term memory loss sufferer cannot keep track of everybody!! {Although I try!!} ;-/

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 never wi

The Potty Man

By
Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

By
I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
