Timmy's New Chair

I have to admit, this is one of the BEST purchases we have made for Timmy. This Fisher-Price Infant-To-Toddler Rocker is perfect for a newborn and a child up to 40lbs. The rocker can be purchased fromToys R Us, Babies R US, and Wal-Mart.com (colors/patterns and prices may vary.) We recently purchased the Rocker for Nate and we paid $38 for it. The Rocker comes with a nice toybar, which isn't depicted in the picture. At 7 years old, Timmy feels that he is too old to play with such baby toys!

 Timmy has had this chair for 5 years. This chair has been put to the durability test many times. With Zach and Em using it as Timmy's speed racer by pushing Timmy around the house in the chair. The seat cover has been washed many times over the past 5 years and is just starting to show alot of wear and tear.

This chair is perfect for a special needs baby/child, who has little to no head control and who has high/low muscle tone. The Rocker has two recline positions and a "foot" that can be pulled out to prevent the Rocker from rocking.

I would absolutely recommend this product to everyone!

We have been on the hunt for Timmy a new chair. We have searched most of the adaptibility catalogs, only to be depressed by the prices for a suitable chair for Timmy. So we decided to start looking in our local stores for a chair that we could adapt ourselves if necessary. And the other day while shopping at Rose's Department Store, I found this chair. The only drawback with this chair is that it only has 1 position and it doesn't rock. But it does fold flat for storage and for travelling. And I only paid $25!

Doesn't he look comfy in his new chair??? Easy enough to adapt by adding a boppy pillow under his bottom if necessary or pillows on either side of him to help keep him upright if he should get tired of supporting himself while sitting.

Fun Day At School

Wow, this school year has flown by! It's hard to believe that this school year is coming to an end. Zach's last day of school is only 4 1/2 days away. And Tim and Em's is 9 1/2 days.

It wasn't until a couple of days ago, when I was looking through some pictures that had been take earlier in the school year, that I realized that Tim will be in 2nd grade, Emily will be in 1st. and Zach will be in the 10th. 

Tim and Em's school had Fun Day today. Floyd, Nate and I went to the school to have lunch with the kids and to do a lil socializing. Floyd took a few cute pics of the kids. Floyd just isn't a photographer. I wish he had taken more ics of Em's class enjoying the outdoor activities. Hopefully one of the other parents will upload a few so that I can add them to the blog.

Hop-py Easter

This was Nate's 1st Easter. He had lots of fun playing with the Hide-Em and Find-Em Talking Easter Eggs. He also enjoyed mine and his share of dinner. He had mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce.

Timmy enjoyed his Easter dinner. Floyd pureed Timmy some ham, cabbage and mashed potatoes. Floyd and I even agreed to take a gamble and gave Timmy 1 slice of apple crumb pie for dessert. Being that Timmy is a diabetic, he doesn't often get the luxary of enjoying sweets very often. To err on the safe side, Floyd checked Timmy's blood glucose 2 hours after his meal. Surprise, Surprise!  Or maybe not, being Timmy's glucose levels lately have been like a wild roller coaster ride. Ater consuming 70 grams of carbs, he blood glucose was 123!  Timmy is one diabetic that NO ONE will ever figure out what makes him tick!

I leave you with some Hop-py Easter cuteness......
