Imagine my surprise when my 8 year old daughter Camille came over to tell me "Mom.. we decided we want Caleb's cast to stay on a long time". WHAT??!!!
Then I realized the three older children all decided this after two days of the flower shop making a delivery to our house for Caleb. Yesterday he got some beautiful flowers, which we have where we can all see enjoy them all day and a Thinking of You balloon. What kiddo does not like balloons??
Thank you JoAnn and Family for these beautiful flowers (a fellow MOPS mom)...
Then today Caleb received a teddy bear holding three BIG balloons and a fruit basket with his FAVORITE thing in the world.. Sandwich crackers, which he immediately dug into :)
Thank you Linda and Family for today's delivery (another MOPS mom).....
And how sweet is this photo..
Isaac is truly missing his play mate. He is really becoming agressive and banging his head and being really mean to everyone, and I think the adjustment of not having a partner in crime is wearing on him. We do put Caleb in a stroller several times a day to reposition him. For a long time Isaac would just stand there by the stroller and watch tv with Caleb. We figured out to pull the rocking chair over by the stroller and they both love it.. they sit there and giggle at their tv program and reach for each others hand to hold.. oh it breaks a mama's heart.
Now with constipation being an issue we've been trying to feed the twins watermelon daily for extra fluid intake. They drink absolutely nothing other than vanilla flavored rice or soy milk, but give them a watermelon and they take it down. Anyhow, a friend of Tom's grandmother gave us a hair cutting smock to put over Caleb while he eats and it works wonders while he's eating his watermelon...
So Day Five of this cast and we're getting alittle more used to what life it going to be all summer long. Diaper changing is still a scary thing for me and an uncomfortable thing for Caleb, but we're getting there. Let's see what's in store for us tomorrow :)
