I have some great ideas for you!!! I am a special needs Momma and understand how frustrating it can be to find things that <strong>work</strong> for your child. These items can be pretty pricey. Don't get discouraged yet... I have an IDEA! You can always have family go in together and get one of these GREAT toys! I had to explain to my family that Logan would be happy getting one thing that works for him vs. many things that are just going to frustrate him. Besides he gets overstimulated by the time he gets the second gift unwrapped anyway. Note: I have had 8 years practice with this issue! :)</span></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#006600;">This is a GREAT toy for children that need alot of sensory stimulation!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 256px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683385743618929570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ4LLIcO5xhyphenhyphenPCe-yEMrfVvEIWvsuMSNs6HThImIApYvRiGB-_X72yShSZoI7XEpuR_wHpJa2OpekqiNq8ugaQQpMOHoKlZ6z6o8lBq2IU6Vj0EpJhG7txV5TW0uJjE-O8EwJtUFx5F2A/s320/6094093a-31bd-41ee-85ff-b4618ca50d8f%255B1%255D.jpg" /><br />We got this one for Logan. He is going to LOVE it! It's such a GREAT sensory toy for him. Logan gets very frustrated with toys because he likes cause & reaction. However they don't give him the reaction he's seeking. He likes on/off buttons but then gets mad when he turns them off. This one only works when you push the buttons or pull the object. It's GREAT for children like Logan who don't have great fine motor control. It is VERY easy to manipulate!!! The Big blue button vibrates and has a little light when touched. The red button activates the little glitter dome. and the wooden ball on string plays like a little music box. The mirror a beads are one of his favorites. This is a great toy also because it's portable! Best of all it can be anchored to keep it from sliding or dropping. Velcro is one of my favorite things to use!</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ4LLIcO5xhyphenhyphenPCe-yEMrfVvEIWvsuMSNs6HThImIApYvRiGB-_X72yShSZoI7XEpuR_wHpJa2OpekqiNq8ugaQQpMOHoKlZ6z6o8lBq2IU6Vj0EpJhG7txV5TW0uJjE-O8EwJtUFx5F2A/s1600/6094093a-31bd-41ee-85ff-b4618ca50d8f%255B1%255D.jpg"></div><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"></a><span style="color:#006600;">You can find this toy and many other GREAT toys at enablingdevices.com</span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594490058162585464.post-70595840957668560952011-12-01T16:09:00.000-08:002011-12-01T16:11:44.900-08:00Little Cutie ...<div align="center">Isn't my little bear cute?!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Xaqj2Vz5LeYp_IAE-xzfc4x5ytSYj9F9BLAzm4IYpZfrsMqyADB5ngfDCpKgbFa9u694DLRGvrRw3hqpB-B2fqItNXkYOkC9HD5R6fCPT3ZGMCi_oOHaG6onEjigAGLg3VuM80-Hk64/s1600/photo%255B1%255D.PNG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681316709965436530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Xaqj2Vz5LeYp_IAE-xzfc4x5ytSYj9F9BLAzm4IYpZfrsMqyADB5ngfDCpKgbFa9u694DLRGvrRw3hqpB-B2fqItNXkYOkC9HD5R6fCPT3ZGMCi_oOHaG6onEjigAGLg3VuM80-Hk64/s320/photo%255B1%255D.PNG" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594490058162585464.post-1533290028930774172011-11-26T17:50:00.000-08:002011-12-01T15:52:52.317-08:00I'm Back to Blogging /Birthday Party Part 1<div align="center"><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:courier new;">It has been FOREVER since I have done a post...

Also he can now get out and go pretty much anywhere without having a hard time!

Meaning John and I hardly ever get to attend church together. <em>He also has to be able to "handle" where he is.</em> </span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">(anyone that has a special needs or "Autistic" child understands what I mean :0) ...</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>If you do have an autistic or special needs child or know someone that struggles with these same issues don't give up on God! He doesn't give up on you. I can tell you from experience... Keep serving the Lord. Pray that he will lead you to somewhere that will work for your family. He does Love and care about you! Not everywhere you go people "accept" your challenges. But there really ARE people who care! Pray Pray Pray and don't give up!<br />GOD IS GOOD</em>!</span></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So last week we had VBS at Our Church. I am SO excited and Praise God for our "New Family." Everyone there LOVES and accepts Logan. It's GREAT!!!! I am so GRATEFUL and this has been a HUGE answer to my prayers.

You will know why. Ha </strong><br /></span></span><strong><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#666666;">Logan gets out of school for summer break on Wednesday! YEA and YIKES! I am so excited to have him home for the summer. I have also prepared to have some extra help! We have lots of fun things planned. Each week we have a FUN theme and activities, crafts, games & outings planned. So here's what our summer looks like...<br /><br />Week 1~ Baseball theme... Logan is starting baseball on Saturdays and I thought this would be a fun theme to kick it off.<br /><br />Week 2~ <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">VBS</span>~ We always have SO MUCH FUN we are going to 2!<br /><br />Week 3~Summer Fun & we are going to have a splash party! We LOVE PARTIES!<br /><br />Week 4~Going to Grandma's. Daddy has to go out of town with work for training so were taking off to Grandmas. How FUN!<br /><br />Week 5~ 4<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> of July week. PARTY!!!! SO EXCITING!<br /><br />Week 6~ <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">VBS</span>~ AGAIN... YEA! YEA! YEA!<br /><br />Week 7~ Fire Trucks and Landon's 2<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">nd</span> Birthday.THAT MEANS ANOTHER PARTY!!!! We are going to the fire station too!<br /><br />Week 8~ FISH and we are going to visit an aquarium. This will be a new trip for us and I can't wait! I really think the boys are going to LOVE it!<br /><br />Week 9~ Camping. You can't have summer without at least one camping trip. (this will be in our back yard.) ha. It will still be fun and we can end the night in our own beds. Logan will be much happier this way. We sometimes have to get creative! HA<br /><br />Week 10~ Back to School~ it takes time for us to adjust to changes so we will get prepared the week before school starts and talk all about it.<br /><br />Oh and I didn't mention... Swimming, Bike Riding, Park, Picnics, OT, PT, SPEECH, HORSES AND BASEBALL. Logan is one very busy boy so be praying I can keep up with him. I Just LOVE SUMMER!

Having our family with us to celebrate was so nice!</span></span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="color:#663300;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Some of the special things I will remember are...</span></span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="color:#663300;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Having our family there. I remember standing back taking pictures and soaking up some VERY SWEET moments! </span></span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="color:#663300;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Watching John play basketball with the boys. Holding Landon and Logan up to shoot the basketball into the new goal John got Landon for his birthday. He was so excited to get Landon his FIRST Basketball goal! Are family was cheering the boys on. Logan got so excited!</span></span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663300;">I remember looking over at Grandpa Bill holding Logan. They are always so sweet together. He always makes Logan laugh. He just loves him! </span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="color:#663300;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">I had my mom running around crazy doing a million things. Watching the boys, feeding Logan, preparing the food, frosting the cake, dishes, I think I said hey mom every 3 minutes and she was right there to help! Thanks Mom for all your help. The party wouldn't have been as special if you weren't there to help pull it all together. John too! I had him running to Wal-Mart, hanging balloons, and a million other things as well. Thanks Honey! I don't know how I would make it without you two taking care of me. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!</span></span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663300;">Papa Lloyd made Landon the sweetest toy box. It is so cute and will be a keepsake Landon will always have. Thank you Papa for doing such a GREAT job! We LOVE it!</span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663300;">Landon got a package in the mail from Granny and Papa. We were so excited to see what it was we couldn't wait til the party to open it. It was a truck. Logan and Landon both love it.</span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#663300;"></span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="color:#663300;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">My favorite part of the whole party was watching Landon eat his cake! He dug right in and ate it up! He didn't care to get messy one bit. I think he would of ate the whole cake if I would of let him. </span></span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="color:#663300;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Most all of our family and friends traveled from Harrison to share this special day with us. Thank you all for coming!</span></span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="color:#663300;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Landon got lots of great gifts.

But we were so thankful to be home and even better with our little miracle. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473534363744096466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMocdpRLT5xzzrdlCDFoVsi9hWXvHd6NBZDk3RsWCLWPLGI1hcvejzoy7-pH6CCBLkKEqBE4ESicXXO4EhBQbjaX9AkjTFriYwYTdpiyPPOb_X8nJ5plXMp4gGU8dBSQzI3h3ZW8mpUQU/s320/ACH+pics+001.jpg" /></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">We knew Logan had brain bleeds and vision problems (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">rop</span>). At that point the doctors couldn't tell us what kind of disabilities Logan may have from the damage on his brain. We had to just wait and watch his development. Once again we had to just pray and give it to the Lord. Remember it's HIS will and not what we think want! God truly knows what is best for our life. As time went on we watched Logan fall further and further behind. Knowing he had disabilities we wondered would he even know who we were? Would he be able to ever sit up, hold a toy, crawl, talk (say mommy I love you) walk? Only God knew and we had to put full trust in him. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="color:#333333;">I make it sound like it's always an easy thing to do... but it is not <em>always</em> like that for me. I have had many times where I haven't trusted the Lord with the hard situation we are facing. These last 6 years I have went through lots of ups and downs. I haven't ever blamed God or said why me, but I have had LOTS of stress and anxiety. If I would just keep my eye on the Lord and<em> REMEMBER</em> <em><strong>if he brings me to it he will pull me through it. </strong></em>He really is always here to help. We just have to pray and release ourselves to him with every new day and situation! <strong><em>If only I would always apply this lesson...</em></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#333333;">As Logan got older he started having more and more oral motor problems and severe reflux. For him to suck a bottle it got more and more difficult. He would throw up what he would eat. He wasn't able to get the nutrition he needed. His weight was falling more and more off the charts. We would go to doctors appointments and hear the words failure to thrive. They suggested putting a feeding tube in his tummy. We waited and tried tried to get Logan to eat enough. We were feeding him every 3 hours day and night and adding extra calories. I prayed and prayed! It still wasn't working. My family would tell me that I just wasn't feeding him enough and DID NOT agree with the idea of a feeding tube. This was yet another very big challenge for us to face. I prayed and prayed for God to help. I felt very alone & didn't understand. I really was doing all that I knew to do. I felt like a failure as a mommy. We fought it but Logan was suffering. So we gave in and had the feeding tube put in. They also did a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Nissin</span> to help with Logan's reflux. </span></p><p><span style="color:#333333;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">As all this was going on with Logan we were living with my parents. John and I were in the process of building a house. My dad is a contractor. Him and John would work on our house the evenings. It took us a VERY LONG 10 months to build. If you have ever built a house you would know that is enough stress to make someone CRAZY!</span><span style="font-family:verdana;">Anyway at this point in my life I was just asking God... WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? It had to be me. EVERYTHING seemed to be so hard!</span></span></p><p>I will have to continue this story later.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3
