Show off your LO's unique skills!
D (2yo) can:
- pee in a cup on command
- take his own pulse ox reading
- 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!
Also if you're new around here (especially to the chronic board) please introduce yourself

@Mrs. Tiger: so cute!!
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.

@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!

@Mrs. Tiger: that's impressive!
@MrsRcCar: love that pic of E
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.

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.

@jhd: I think that's impressive! It's a very efficient way to drink
@Chuckles: that's awesome! Tolerance for discomfort is definitely a skill.

@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!

@jhd: E only drinks from straw cups.
@Chuckles: My boys clinched their mouths so tight at the dentist!
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.
