Each week Daredevil will be given a theme. This theme will be used throughout all of his ABA shifts and we will incorporate things about the theme during downtime, too.<br />
<br />
Each week, I'll share what we did for each week. We are hoping to be sure that we hit the following things every week:<br />
-Field Trip<br />
-Library Trip to pick out books about the theme<br />
-Sensory Bin<br />
-Snack<br />
-Art Projects<br />
-Game/Activity<br />
<br />
His weekly themes are:<br />
June 22 - Gardening<br />
June 29 - Weather<br />
July 6 - Camping<br />
July 13 - Animals<br />
July 20 - Water<br />
July 27 - Dinosaurs/Fossils<br />
August 3 - Outer Space<br />
August 10 - Bugs/Insects<br />
August 17 - All About Me<br />
<br />
I'm really looking forward to the fun and all the cool, new stuff Daredevil will learn and experience this summer. What do you think we have to incorporate into his weeks?Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11938876503764937231noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673786088844004802.post-62386299277078607082015-06-12T16:06:00.003-07:002015-06-12T16:06:48.301-07:00Questions, questions, questionsDaredevil started asking questions on his own a few months ago, but it became part of our May 1st treatment plan. This means that his therapists built off of what he was doing on his own and helped him flourish.<br />
<br />
But let me tell you, flourish he did. He is so inquisitive. He wants to know everything about everything. It's interesting to hear where he takes the conversations and what he is curious about. I just love him and his inquisitive and adventurous heart!<br />
<br />
Here's a sampling of a recent conversation:<br />
<br />
O: Where's Switzerland?<br />
M: It's in Europe.<br />
O: I want to go to Europe. I want to go there.<br />
M: You want to go to Switzerland, in Europe?<br />
O: Yes, Switzerland. How far is away is Switzerland?<br />
<br />
Oh boy. Add another place to his must visit list. It currently includes returning to Costa Rica and Disney World/Land, going to Thomas Land in Boston once it opens and going to Switzerland to go on the giant jungle gym/bouncy house.<br />
<br />
Everything right now is what is that? What is that called? When is that? Can I go to August? Can we go there? What do they do? What is the road made of? What is in cement? What state is Seattle in? Where is Arizona? What's an island? Where is Hawaii? What is our state called?<br />
<br />
I just love where his mind goes! He's really into geography right now and one of his favorite things to do is look at the Atlas in UJ's car. Another addition to the Christmas list, too.Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11938876503764937231noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673786088844004802.post-69307218339109133602015-06-10T18:45:00.000-07:002015-06-10T18:45:00.394-07:00Event Picture Frame on the CheapYa'll know I'm crafty but I'm also a cheapskate and I'll do whatever I can to do something nicely, but be frugal about it.<br />
<br />
For Daredevil's preschool end of the year pot-luck, we thought it'd be fun to do a picture frame for parents, kiddos and friends to take pictures. I wanted it to be lightweight so the kids could hold it, but sturdy so it wouldn't flap around. Here's what I came up with..<br />
<br />
Things you'll need:<br />
<div>
Sharpie</div>
<div>
Exacto knife</div>
<div>
Paint & brush</div>
<div>
Heavy poster size foam board (can get for 40-50% off at Hobby Lobby, depending on the sale)</div>
<div>
Any embellishments you want to use (we used his school's letters) </div>
<div>
Hot glue gun/gorilla glue/heavy duty tape</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We traced the shape we wanted onto the poster board and then we used the exacto knife to cut it out. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br /></div>
<div>
Then we painted it!</div>

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once it was all dry, we affixed the embellishments- or in our case, the letters. We used hot glue but anything should work to hold the embellishments in place. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was used for the school potluck and on the last day of school. It was a quick, fun project that had super cute results - and by quick I mean that we had it drying all within a half hour!</div>

My mom collected baskets and pottery (especially the Longaberger variety). My dad collects all things golf related. I think he'd collect music instruments if my mom would let him. I like to collect things, too. If I have a shirt I love in one color, I have to fight the urge to buy it in every color. If I have one in a series, I want to have them all - think American Girls and Precious Moments.<br />
<br />
Now I have a little guy who likes to collect. Daredevil also likes to collect, but I definitely encourage it.<br />
<br />

Daredevil likes to collect in this way... "I have wooden Belle, I need take-n-play and trackmaster Belle." I like to collect this way.. get all the wooden trains and then move on. Since we differ and they are actually his toys, he gets his way. However, we both agree on this Thomas Minis and they are releasing them in waves so we just scoop them up when we find one we don't have yet. Rumor has it the next wave hits US stores in late June/early July! We have our laminated "map" all ready for the next wave with our current Minis marked off.<br />

In an effort to collect them all, I've been known to stand in the toy aisle at WalMart and try to peek at every mini in the mystery pack in an effort to spy what they are. I can almost always tell by pushing the train around the package and looking closely through the package. After weeks of this, my brilliant husband realized that the numbers on the outsides of the packages actually are codes for the trains inside.<br />

<br />
If you're a Thomas Mini collector, here's what you need to know about the mystery packs that have been released in the US so far.<br />
<br />
The number is about a fourth of the way down on the left side of the package. It has a batch code first followed by a slash and then the two digit code which tells you who is inside.<br />

There's also a guy on YouTube who says you can disassemble them and create new combos, so we may have to do a little of that, too. Seems fun to make some custom trains with our duplicates. </span>Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11938876503764937231noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673786088844004802.post-13292729699511111492015-06-08T11:48:00.000-07:002015-06-08T11:48:00.725-07:00Seattle, Friday Harbor and the PNWA few months ago while dropping Daredevil off at school, my friend from South Carolina texted me information about a workshop being held in Washington. We would get to have an awesome adventure and meet two of our most favorite blogger moms ever! I booked my ticket before I left preschool.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to last week and we headed out on our adventure to the PNW. We met in Seattle and had the dreamiest time. The PNW pulled out all the stops as far as weather goes. It was perfect, sunny, breezy, warm(ish) and beautiful!<br />
<br />
Without further adieu, please enjoy this photo dump of epic proportions.<br />

We had his 6 week x-rays done at his 5 week check-up yesterday and what do you know? His bone is healed! His restrictions are drastically reduced! We couldn't be happier. He still has PT to get his muscle tone back and we have stretches and exercises we do with him, but otherwise, he is ready to go!<br />

That also means that my house will slowly go back to normal. This morning I picked up about half of the rugs that we were using on the floor and I moved the play pen to the garage. I'll also be giving Katie her pen back today, too. We borrowed one from her that was easier to move around.<br />

We still have 8 weeks of limited activity and restrictions, but Phin is doing so well! He rocked his therapy today. I think he was showing off for Dr D today. That or he was just willing to do anything for the new salmon treats she brought over.<br />
<br />
He is going on 2-4 20 minute hilly walks per day, stair stands, 3-legged stands, sit to stands, stretches and lazer treatments once a week with Dr D. She also does PT with him, too. Here he is on the wobble board with her! He's so much more sure of himself and trusting of his leg.<br />

It seems that year by year, we get to a bit of it. One year roofing and gutters, one year landscaping on the sides of the house, one year the new deck on the back, etc. This year, we will be finishing it up. Finally getting the exterior up to par completely.<br />
<br />
Last fall, our driveway was re-done and this spring, we fixed up the turf that got messed up. This summer/fall, we'll be re-painting.<br />

Hopefully by next spring, we'll just have to pull out our patio furniture and wash our windows and the house will look great. Hopefully!<br />
<br />
For our new paint job, we know we want gray with white trim and a big contrast door. Think bright yellow, mint green, red, etc. I'm thinking I may just paint my front door every season for awhile. Mr Tech Guy does not like this idea. We'll see, right?<br />
<br />
But, gray. Gray means a lot of things and we are having a hard time nailing down what type of gray we want. I'm thinking a charcoal/blue gray, a sage/green gray, a taupe/tan gray or a true/light gray. See our dilemma? <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/danibrown1607/new-paint-job/">Here's my pinterest board</a>... full of all of my indecision.<br />
<br />
What are you opinions on the matter? I'm hoping to narrow it down to a few great shades and paint a little section of our house to make the final decision. Any favorites out there?Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11938876503764937231noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673786088844004802.post-56004787007911814632015-05-26T21:26:00.000-07:002015-05-27T21:26:15.899-07:00GrandparentsI've said it before and I'll say it again. Grandparents are the very best. When I had my wisdom teeth removal surgery, my MIL came to help us and I cried when she left because it was just so nice having someone take care of all of us why I felt so bad.<br />
<br />
This time around my parents are here to take care of us - or at least all my guys while I get some me time. Not only do they come to love on us, they come to work.<br />
<br />
My mom is The Laundry Fairy and The Bacon Baker. She is an awesome cook and has a knack for keeping the laundry running constantly. I came into the kitchen when she was making bacon today and she had my apron on like a bib. Too funny. Seriously.<br />

<br />
And, about that loving on us... look how Daredevil is running to her outstretched arms at preschool pick-up. Seriously? Precious.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My dad loves to nap and watch golf but, by golly, he's also pretty handy. He's touched up some areas on my stairs that Ben scratched up and he helped Daredevil and I make a super fun project for his end of the year school potluck.<br />

I feel like I've had a short fuse and been in survival mode for most of this month. I finally decided to get back to working out, eating right and creating. I'd just finished the Whole 30 before my surgery and then I could only eat ice cream and yogurt for nearly 3 weeks so, yea, about that whole 30...<br />
<br />
I've felt so crummy I haven't been doing anything for me so I decided to take some advice from my Camp Create sisters and just start making. So this week, we've been doing a lot of making around here.<br />

Creating just makes me feel better, even if it is Bible journaling for 5 minutes or sewing for an hour. I've been working hard this week to do eat better, remember to move, and to remember to make. You gotta take care of yourself before you can take care of others.Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11938876503764937231noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673786088844004802.post-5352577447679765292015-05-21T01:27:00.000-07:002015-05-21T06:24:19.456-07:00TPLO<span style="font-family: inherit;">*** Gnarly picture ahead ***</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
My Phin tore his cruciate ligament (ACL) a few months ago. We thought it was a very partial tear so we started with pain management and rest. When it didn't help, we started lazer therapy. After a month, or 8 treatments, he was using it more and more but he was still hobbling around, clearly in pain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
We had the surgery consult and after much deliberation with multiple doctors and surgeons, we decided to go forward with the surgery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
The TPLO (<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) was done on a Wednesday. Boy-oh-boy, you think you're prepared for something and as soon as he came home it was apparent that I was ill-prepared. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">During the surgery, the broke the bone, removed the torn ligament (Phin's was torn over 50%) and screwed the bones back together with a metal plate and several screws. When he got home, he was miserable. Even on the pain medication, he just cried and cried. His leg was bruised and swollen. If he wasn't sleeping, he was crying. He yelped whenever you touched him. I was nervous to move him, but so sad for him I just didn't know what to do.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">I let myself have an awful Thursday. Then on Friday I dusted myself off and while Daredevil was at preschool, I went and bought Phin boredom busters, rugs upon rugs upon rugs for the hardwood flooring and a more comfortable cone. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">We are now three weeks post-op and we've been having PT for a week now. He is up to 3-4 20 minute walks per day and he can go out a few more times daily. We have stretches and therapy we do 2-4 times a day as he will tolerate it, and he even got clearance to jump on the couch or "his" recliner a few times per day. His leg sometimes hurts by the end of the day, especially if his therapist pushes him hard, but otherwise he is doing amazingly well. </span><br />

I'm sad when some things go.<br />
<br />
I remember when we had to say goodbye to EIEIEI. I was sure glad he could actually say EIEIO, but EIEIEI was so sweet.<br />
<br />
Recently, we've said goodbye to these sweet things:<br />
<br />
Mamy is now Amy.<br />
<br />
Baneena is now banana.<br />
<br />
Flagingo is now flamingo.<br />
<br />
His speech and pronunciation is so improved. His sentence structures are well formed and complete. His number of words per sentence is smack dab in the middle of the normal range (MLU 3.58; normal is 3-3.75 for his age group).<br />

What I find hilarious is that he is so comfortable with ABA that he's started giving Mr Tech Guy and I ABA sessions. He loves taking the boat and submarine when he's in the bath and asking us which one goes under the sea and which one goes on top of the sea. If you get it right, he'll cheer for you. If you get it wrong, he'll tell you the right answer, ask you another question and then repeat the initial question just like during ABA.<br />
<br />
O: Momma, which one goes under the sea?<br />
M: The boat.<br />
O: No, the submarine goes under the sea. What's your name?<br />
M: Momma.<br />
O: Touch your nose.<br />
M: (I touch my nose.)<br />
O: Which one goes under the sea?<br />
M: The submarine.<br />
O: Yay!<br />
<br />

Last night, I was singing in the car and he said, "No, Momma. No that song. I don't want that song."<br />
<br />
Then this morning I was trying to get in my morning snuggles and he told me, "No, just pillow."<br />
<br />
Sad, sad, sad. Can't I freeze time?<br />
<br />
But, I guess since he's cute I'll forgive him!<br />

I know, I know... way early, but I have lots to do! I'm making 4 costumes, making school treats, getting stuff ready for Disney and making some little treats for our army of therapists and teachers. Here's what we're making for our army!<br />
<br />
We've got our bags and our bug and kisses mixture.<br />

Finalize with some cute tags and the treat is complete!!Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11938876503764937231noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673786088844004802.post-27245174930922513242014-09-09T06:13:00.000-07:002014-09-09T06:13:08.388-07:00Dude is FunnyDaredevil's language keeps having these mini-explosions, if you will. We are amazed at his progress in just a few months.<br />
<br />
He is combining two or three word phrases all the time now! Tickle neck, stop singing, open gate, hi kelly, bye bye danny, i love you gammy, move please, didaddy drink, big blocks, gray castle, red dump, yellow bus, yellow digger, more french fries, read more, blue thomas, go up, come down, white ice cream, inside store, and on and on and on! Literally everything is 2 words or more. I love hearing him talk and sing all the time... and the words are understandable (at least to me)! It is unbelievable!<br />
<br />
We're working on his articulation and strengthening some of his mouth muscles. We're also working on his eating habits and we're about to start potty training! He is a busy boy, but I just would never have imagined how far he'd come in a few months!<br />
<br />
I know it's hard to believe, but I think yesterday is the first day in the history of Daredevil's life that I haven't taken a picture of him.... I know Gammy and Aunt Stephie will be upset... sorry! He was super cute! He stayed in his pajama shirt all day... he refused to let me change his shirt until bath time. :)<br />
<br />
Another reason dude is funny. I found some material similar to his Aden and Anais blankies that he always has with him, so I decided to get a yard and attempt to make one for him on the cheap. Hah. As if I could pull one over on him. Every time I hand it to him, he hands it back and goes to his closet to get a "real" one. I've attempted this on several occasions since getting it finished. I guess he just isn't having the fake kind.<br />

<br />
It was a lazy, chill weekend in Madison. We avoided downtown because of the Badger game and the Ironman competition this weekend, so we really stayed close to home. Since we had so much free time this weekend, we were able to have some spontaneous outings! A long drive by all the construction vehicles at Epic, brunch with a friend, drinks and dessert with the girls, etc!<br />
