Plus none of my produce is safe. 😭 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chronic-skillzzzzzz#post-2304665 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 21:39:46 +0000 jhd 2304665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: that's great :) Yay E! </p> <p>ETA the straw drinking... That Apple eating skill might be a little yucky lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chronic-skillzzzzzz#post-2304662 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 21:36:26 +0000 MrsRcCar 2304662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: E only drinks from straw cups. 😉<br /> @Chuckles: My boys clinched their mouths so tight at the dentist! 😁</p> <p>E eats the fruit out of the apple and spits all the skin all over the floor. For a kid who doesn't have great eating skills he is awesome and separating textures he hates. 😷 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chronic-skillzzzzzz#post-2304661 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 21:34:02 +0000 jhd 2304661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: that's awesome. I took our little guy over the summer for his first visit and he wouldn't open his mouth very much. He's so done with people looking in his mouth already! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chronic-skillzzzzzz#post-2304654 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 21:11:38 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2304654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: I think that's impressive! It's a very efficient way to drink 😊</p> <p>@Chuckles: that's awesome! Tolerance for discomfort is definitely a skill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chronic-skillzzzzzz#post-2304650 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 21:05:04 +0000 Chuckles 2304650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not exactly a skill, but S did really great at the dentist, and I think it was because he's used to having people poke around his mouth from feeding therapy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chronic-skillzzzzzz#post-2304626 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 20:39:00 +0000 jhd 2304626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tiger: that's impressive! </p> <p>@MrsRcCar: love that pic of E</p> <p>I'm not sure that we have any unusual skills over here, but people are always impressed at his straw drinking skills. He had it down pat by 9-10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chronic-skillzzzzzz#post-2304501 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 18:25:41 +0000 MrsRcCar 2304501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tiger: he does it all the time!! 😱 We have just come to expect it. He is improving leaps and bounds tho. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chronic-skillzzzzzz#post-2304492 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 18:14:55 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2304492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: Omg he's getting so big! Love that apple grin. D does that to us sometimes, I'll be telling his therapist how he doesn't do something and then he'll do it right in front of us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chronic-skillzzzzzz#post-2304449 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 17:25:55 +0000 MrsRcCar 2304449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tiger: so cute!!</p> <p>E has uncanny ability to eat and drink great for feeding therapy. However at home not so much. I am so close to just moving to the hospital for meals. 😳 </p> [attach=2880/15/nverp3.450x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chronic-skillzzzzzz#post-2304413 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 15:55:50 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2304413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Show off your LO's unique skills!</p> <p>D (2yo) can:<br /> - pee in a cup on command<br /> - take his own pulse ox reading<br /> - knows how to attach his feeding tube pump, almost knows how to turn it on! He can open up his extension line as well. Although an impressive skill, it's problematic when he messes with his overnight setup! </p> <p>Also if you're new around here (especially to the chronic board) please introduce yourself 😃 </p> [attach=1630/15/nvenh2.480x600.IMG_20150928_164324.jpg]
