Laura has new glasses..

I didn’t realize how bad the second stroke affected her eyes.

UNTIL we picked them up and I tried them on.. oh my!

She was practically blind! (I think so)

The second stroke affected her vision in her right eye, she couldn’t see to the side.. I think they called it tunnel vision or something. 

She can now sit on the COUCH instead of 2 feet from the tv when she wants to watch it.

Brushing teeth ..

And bathing….

very busy last night…

Miss Laura was very busy today in her room.. her very OWN room we were surprised with when we arrived home. Very dear friends we have and my sister Robin and her husband Nate had the idea..~Thankyou!

Well she absolutely loves it, so I don’t really mind that it cut our living room in half almost, AND she has a key so she can lock it when she leaves. (the little kids go through her stuff any chance they get, it’s sort of for me too! I don’t have to worry about them getting her things!)

She was busy organizing and arranging her many MANY things.

This TY bear was given to her from some very special friends, it was once their daughters bear and when she past away they kept it for many years…They wanted Laura to have it because they said she is special like the bear is to them.. Such a sweet couple Jack and Jan. Thankyou so much~

Here she wouldn’t let me help her.. I think she was trying to scare me

This is hanging on her wall

We finally have some sort of routine with therapy now, Monday, Wed, and Friday, 9-11 am she has Speech, PT and OT. I have had help from family taking her to these appointments if I can’t make it. Things are settling down and each day gets easier.

I enrolled Sienna in PreK for September today, I can’t believe she is GOING TO SCHOOL THIS YEAR!  I filled an application for Alaina to attend 1/2 day preschool starting in November when she turns 3. THREE!?!? WOW  What will I do when I just have the baby? Even for just a few hours? I know what I will do! But I’m not telling.

These were taken tonight he was so cute and snugly~

Going….

Going……

GONE!

You know what tired him out??

this was after he woke up from his nap this afternoon… (he demolished a marshmallow duck!)

Ate PEAS for dinner….

“More peas please?”

Had a play session with his big Bro…

was trying to teach him how to draw ..and wright his name..

 He loves this book so much and figured out very quickly how to feel the different spots in the book with texture. It’s so cute watching him, I’ll have to get a video next time!

Just thought I would share, he has been doing sooo well in the carseat now. These are my must haves for the occasional “fit”

The tube baby food is the best invention yet.. all I do is squeeze some in his mouth and voila! He is quiet!  (No need to remove from carseat!)

I don’t know what I will do when I run out of them..we bought $60 worth when we were in New Orleans,we could only find them at Whole Foods. We don’t have one here. So I Think I will try Wegmans? Only place I have not checked yet.

 My beautiful one and only blue eyed child, looking ever so sweet !

Don’t let him fool you he is SNEAKY!
