Cashing in her Sticker Chart

Makaylin filled up her sticker chart! These stickers represent a lot of different things- sharing, taking turns, feeding the dogs, putting her dishes in the sink, etc. The last 2 rows are mainly potty training reward stickers- FINALLY! ;) 

She cashed in her chart for this princess fishing game. 

Crunching and Coloring

Ryker decided to dump his entire box of Panda Puffs on the floor. Then eat them. At this point, he hadn't really been eating, so if he was going to eat off the floor I was all for it! ;)

 Another day last week he was ALL about this coloring toy. The speed of the music changes based on how fast you're scribbling. He loved it!

Snooze

The kiddos playing with Play-doh.

I caught Ryker sleeping at his puzzle table. 

I'm thinking this was the day he decided to play in his room instead of take a nap! 

Valentine's Day

Just a few fun photos of what our Valentine's day was all about this year!

[Super Hero valentine's I made for Ryker's class]

 [Making chocolate chip heart pancakes for breakfast]

The kiddos also got a small gift from Adam and I, but I didn't get a photo of them opening their bags! Ryker got a small train engine, bubbles, and some Reese's. Makaylin got a crayola stamper, bubbles, and a package of skittles. They both thought the gifts were so much fun!

Unfamiliar Sight

Here's a sight we don't see every day...

                                                                                 ...the kids playing together.

Lately

There is only one word to describe our days lately: hectic! I haven't taken too many photos in the last week or so, but here are a few I was able to snap today. :)

Our week(s)

I am finally getting caught up on blogging! This past week has been crazy between the doctor appointment, dealing with the news, trying to find a way to avoid the feeding tube, making new appointments, and then getting sick! I think all of the stress from the beginning of the week made me get sick so easily. Things have settled down and we are working hard to get as many calories into Ryker as possible- I have a notebook where I write down everything he is given, how much (if any) he ate, and then I calculate the calories and fat for every meal and add them up at the end of the day. We have an appointment with the pediatrician tomorrow morning for a referral to GI and OT/Feeding therapy. After the appointment we're heading to lab for blood work so we can get the growth hormone testing completed. They are also checking for celiac disease again, although I feel like it isn't necessary because he has been G-free for over a year now. Anyway- here are a few random pictures from the last week or so. Enjoy! :)
