Owen needs his nebulizer twice a day as a preventative med (more when he is sick) & he has become such a pro. He actually goes to the machine, brings us the mouth piece & then sits down & waits for it. He is doing such a good job he can even do it by himself sometimes! Of course, putting Curious George on helps too :-)
It is has been a busy month for us. I fell & sprained my ankle & was on crutches for 10 days (still have an air cast). Just as we were recovering from that, we all came down w/ a nasty stomach bug. Grandma & Grandpa came for a visit, but they both got the bug too. Add in parent teacher conferences, Owen's 18 month appointment, a few baby showers & all the regular stuff & it has made for a very crazy month in our house.
On Saturday we went to the new Children's Museum (now in Dover, formerlly in Portsmouth) w/ our friends Andy, Becky & their little boy Matthew. Matty is 6 weeks younger than Owen. The boys are at an in-between age for the museum, too young for downstairs & too old for upstairs (except for the train). But, they had lots of fun watching, climbing & running around. Unfortunately, Matty did a little too much running around & took a big tumble at the end of our adventure. But, we all had fun & can't wait to play together again soon!
I was disappointed that the yellow submarine is different & there is no longer a spaceship or lobster boat. But, the post office is still there & other fun new things.
We went to Grandma & Grampy's (Steve's parents) neighborhood for trick-or-treat. Our little Dragon had lots of fun trick-or-treating! By the last house he was peeking in the window waiting for them to answer the door. And instead of saying "thank you" or "bye-bye" he said "more" & tried to get more candy. We had practiced earlier, so he knew to take the candy & put it in his pumpkin. Lots of people were handing out pretzels, so he can even eat some of his goodies!
Sorry the pictures aren't better. Owen hated the hood & didn't want to sit still :-)
I am blessed to be the mother of an amazing 5 year old boy, Owen. He has a whole host of medical issues, many of which remain unsolved. However, he is bright, adorable & hilarious. He will be starting kindergarten in the fall and we are both excited and nervous.
I work with students with autism. It is incredibly challenging and incredibly rewarding.
We try to bring some crafts & some laughs to every day.
