It is going to be a post full of Brendan close-ups today, but here is the token Trevor-shot. 😀
He was working on sorting out yellow blocks to build an airport control tower.
I took a bunch of Brendan pictures because he did a lot of CRUNCHING today. Of course when he does it, everyone in the house jumps up and down and claps and says, “YAY Brendan!!!” and he loves that. He was feeling silly and really doing well with the crumbs on his lips and tongue. We were very proud.
At the end, he bit in to one of the pretzel sticks and a little shard of it got too far back on his tongue. Part of Brendan’s eating issues has to do with poor tongue control and so he can’t move things around in his mouth well. He choked and gagged on the pretzel piece and threw up pretty violently to get it clear. I swept his mouth with my finger to help him out.
That means that we are going to have to change how we work with him again, always adapting to his ever-evolving skills. We will have to find foods that are safe for him to crunch on. I will have to copy Aunt Erin and bake some soft pretzel sticks that he could chew.
We will be pushing the purees again to see if we can help him learn to eat. We learn every day just like the boys.
We have big plans for tomorrow, it is going to be busy. Friday the 13th and a full moon! Eek!
Good morning from the , yup, still rainy, yucky east coast! Think Seattle switched with NYC!! YAY Brendan!!!!! How awesome that he is making progress!! So sorry that he had a choking episode. 🙁 Very soon he will be sampling more things!! How exciting!! Big hugs, love and prayers!! 🙂
😮 “Friday the 13th and a full moon! Eek!” 😮
Just before sitting down to the computer, I checked the calendar, and saw that there was a full moon today.
The moon had come up large and clear last night, and lit up everything, which is why I looked to see if today was the full moon. I had the same “reaction”.
Friday the 13th, and, a full moon 😮 😮
Aaaaaaahhh, so Brendan is finally discovering the wonderful world of “Crunchy munchies” 🙂 🙂 🙂 Yup !! Brendan, that’s what teeth are made for…..munchin’ and crunchin’ 🙂
Hope you can post a picture of Trevor’s ” Control Tower “, when he’s done building it. 😉 He had that, ” I’m seriously going to build this”, look on his face.
