Love it- do you use permanent or wet-erase? I tried it with permanent this time, we'll see how well the writing wipes off. Mike said the washable would leave black mess on his hands with the condensation so he wouldn't let me try it :) I made another 60 jars on Tuesday. Should last me through the weekend I hope!
Lu said... Hi Meredith, I'm so sorry I've not been online so much. I am still without a computer. I had to read all the news about Emma and WOW God was BUSY! Praise the Lord! I'm SO thrilled for you all!
You are missed, Lu!! Nice to 'see' you again though!
Thanks Grammy! Things are moving and looking good on the home front, we are hopeful to have it sold soon!
- AZmomto8 said... Ah, something I remember not so fondly with Meghan, we keep Kara's diaper covered with bloomers at all times, even then she is often found in her crib naked. Thankfully only painted the bed once with poop. It is a rite of passage...
I usually put bloomers on Brianna too but that morning for church... some how I missed that step. Then I even took the dress off for her to eat a messy lunch and by the time she went down for nap she was just in the diaper... then... well... NOTHING AT ALL! :) Oh, and the painting... Let's just say I didn't share all the details just to preserve Brianna's teenage years. It was worse... MUCH worse! LOL
Thank you all for advice on obtaining a wheelchair for Emma! Since she doesn't have a PT in place, I plan on calling my little guys' PT for a 'consult' and help me get going with it. I've heard good and bad things about all different chairs but I'll definitely see and feel a chair before we order it for Emma! And the measurements, yep, THANKS EVERYONE!!
I feel your pain! Brianna's our lightweight, 2 1/2 and 21lbs. Then Emma's 5 and 21.5 lbs. Micah's almost 2 and 22lbs. Kristopher's 4 1/2 and only 32lbs! Micah could teach them ALL a thing or two!
Emma is about the same size as Amanda, who is also too skinny, I can't imagine a 5 year old being so itty bitty, but she is strong regardless, isn't she! They had to be tickled at how well she is healing, I know you all are. Will they continue to work on getting Emma walking, or is the wheelchair her means to get around from now on? Did I miss a post?
I think Amanda and Brianna are just about the same size! And they're pretty close in age too :) As for Emma, we'll continue to try to get her to do as much as possible towards walking, but right now in addition to working on strengthening, we need mobility that's more structured for her. Especially once she starts at school and needs to be upright and have a tray to work off of. Of course the wheelchair will be for use at home and when both of us are out with the kids- and we'll c'ontinue to use a multiples stroller when I'm out with the kids simply because it'd be impossible for me to push a wheelchair and a double stroller at the same time! LOL
That's funny you said this, because I was thinking "it needs to go through sand too" since we live in FL and any park we go to is pretty much all sand... then I figured I was getting too picky :) Ideally, though, it'll go through loose terrain pretty decent to make our lives easier!
Use rubbing alcohol to wipe the permanent marker off when your done with the jars.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if there are a large selection of sand friendly wheelchairs, but "The Landeez" is often advertised in "Qwest" (the MDA magazine). It is an all-terrain wheelchair and the ad always has beach use pictures. I have no personal experience with them, though (and I know it doesn't fit all your other requirements), but it's nice to know the technology exists.
