Milo helped make Christmas cookies for Santa today.
He wasn't too sure about the feel of the cookie cutter on his hand at first. He kept pulling his hand back but finally got the hang of it...
Sprinkles are lots of fun!!
Waiting is so hard to do...
Finally the finished product!
He didn't try to eat the cookie, probably a good thing because he's allergic to wheat and eggs. If I thought he'd really try to eat it I would have made him some that are allergy free :0) Did you see the pink thing on his trach? That's a cap that totally closes off his trach and makes him breathe the traditional way (though his mouth & nose). We had an incident earlier this week where I gave him a glass of milk (sippy cups are no good anymore) with just a very tiny bit of milk in it, he tried to drink it and the milk poured off his chin straight into his unprotected trach. Needless to say much suctioning occured and I learned to cover the thing with something so I tried the cap and he didn't mind one bit. YEAH that mean we're getting closer....
We're leaving Tuesday morning to go to Grandma & Grandpa's house for Christmas. Yesterday Milo started rolling his suitcase up and down the hall. I think he is ready to go, what do you think?
Hope everyone has a Terrific Christmas!!!
