Bella’s Week

Doctor ordered that Bella start receiving a tube feeding at school.  So after completing all of that fun school paperwork, I needed to go to school and train them on how to do it!    So I brought up all of the supplies.  I made Bella a social story entitled “Bella Eats at School” about eating with her friends and then getting a feeding.  She is so very defensive of her button that there was a lot of “No owie.” in her story.  I needed a couple of pictures of her eating with her friends, so I was allowed to go in the cafeteria and see them. 

She cried the first time we did it (2nd pic), but the next day she was fine.  Teacher said that after hearing her story, she lifted her shirt right up to be plugged in.  So grateful!

Talked Liz into letting Bella use her bow for a little bit.  Bella LOVES the violin!

I held Bella as she drifted off to sleep on Sunday afternoon.  How I love her brown eyes and her sweet body snuggled into mine.

Celebrating the New Year!

We headed out in the cold to Ohio!  We drove over to Cincinnati and played in the best park!
