It has been a busy week of travel, school and activities for us. Lindsey is making her way through it all like a champ ~ but now with a very very wiggly front bottom tooth. Ah, this breaks my heart as it means she is older and that her perfection of straight baby teeth are headed into those gap tooth crazy smile pictures ! No really, it is the simple things that are getting us through this challenge. I'm learning the value of keeping her carbs and sugars under control ~ while it might be difficult to make an extra run to the store, keep good food always at hand, make her wait 2 hours between meals or prick her finger an extra time....it is nearly always worth the much better behavior, mood and health that comes as a byproduct.
Speaking of simple things : inventions I need to come up with as soon as possible....A portable warmer for the alcohol wipes we use. There are many times before bed or whenever she has a warm belly and I go to swab her down with the alcohol swab and its freezing cold. Sorta like the cold wet wipes days of diaper changes. Nobody likes that even a little...I would also invent a much more compact and simple system for keeping insulin cool, tracking it's date and telling you when it is time to throw it away. These things probably exist already but in my head it seems a good idea....OH, and above all, the crazy glass insulin bottles are wicked rollers ~ and make too great a crash when dropped from any height. I'll be glad when we move to the pen which is much much easier I hear..
Enjoy our bubble picture from last week. It has been beautiful weather here which makes everyone happier !
