A Star Studded Kinda Day

by Tammy & Parker on December 5, 2009

Parker and I are learning about stars. It was the shape of the week last week. Perfect for Christmas, no?

001

I took some cheap noodles and dyed them yellow with left over Easter egg colorant because one of my many children made off with my food coloring. I’m thinking of a certain Scout activity a few months back…

But I digress…..

009

With the help of McCall Parker outlined his star with the noodles, then painted the inside of the star with glue.

010

Our Brave Hero wasn’t too thrilled about me insisting McCall help him shake out the glitter on the middle of the star.

Experience has taught me that glitter and Hodson boys don’t a good mix make. Brant and the Terrifying Glitter Disaster of ‘90 come to mind.

erg.

011

I was seriously cleaning glitter out of that kid’s ear for the next six months.

013

But I can’t help it. I just lurrrve me some glitter. But just not in my preschooler’s ears iykwim.

Hi friend. It took me a while to try and figure out what Jax problem was. When I suction, as soon and I get close to 7.5, which is how far we suction, I feel like I’m hitting something, and then he coughs like crazy. I did wonder if I was going to far but I knew thats always how far we go and I measured it again on a spare trach just to make sure. I’m not sure exactly how much we suction. Of course in the morning its a lot more. But this is more like a dry cough, not junky until he coughs for so long that he produces junk. Crazy kid.

I think you’re brave for doing glue and glitter on the same day :o I haven’t braved either with my little guy, but his therapist tells me that glue is next on his list of things to do. Oh boy…
