Guest guest Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Hello everybody! It's been long since I've checked in but think of you often. Hello to all the new posters. You've found a wonderful group of people. I wanted to say thanks to everybody who helped us get to a Big 2 years! I can't believe it! And you all were right--> It really does get easier! Really She had a wonderful bday party with her family and granny & papa. 2 dozen yellow balloons and a mixed bag of her favorites...Dora, Elmo, Sponge Bob, and Shrek... She did a good job of licking the frosting off of the cupcake. Pippin is eating mashed potatoes, salsa, whipped cream, refried beans, mayo, mustard, ketchup, spaghetti sauce, yogurt...not enough to count toward calories but she's swallowing! I'm going to try some baby food with her this next week. She is just a few ounces below 20 lbs. (I can stop worrying about a ticket for her seat being turned around I've been told that she will not qualify for early intervention next year...She's doing so well that the PT is " looking the other way " to keep her in this year. I'm thrilled. She is adjusting to her new brother just fine. Lots of kisses for him. We can't go anywhere without her yelling " Christmas lights " or " HO HO HO " when she sees a Santa. Her hair is still out of control. She insists on 2 piggy tails almost everyday with 2 yellow bows. Pippin also insists that she wear something yellow everyday. We've got lots of yellow onsies and socks to fulfill her yellow wishes... It is getting a bit out of control We're looking for a potty chair that will fit her---does anybody have any ideas? All in the store are 7 " too big for her to sit down on... And the bowl is too far back for her to get her butt on it right. We've just been playing but now she really seems ready... maybe... That's a big maybe xo- Team Lapish Dan, Jenyfer, Tully, Pippin, & Ryker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 HAPPY BIRTHDAY PIPPEN!!!!!!!! Wow, it goes by so fast. I'm just not ready for them to be 2. Coby and Carlee are head first into the terrible 2's. That too has to get easier, right??? hehehe Congrats on all the great eating news. Sounds like your doing a wonderful job. The twins are playing with the potty chair now. We have had it in the house for about 4 months. They are quite used to it and now ask to sit on it, but no sucess yet. We have one of those musical potty's. Coby seems to fit on it just fine. He has to get over the pee guard and then he's fine. He's 30 1/4 inches now, so you can compare that with Pippin. GREAT to hear from you and we miss you all. The Biddle's: le and Shye, Brock, Coby, and Carlee Coby's stats: 20.2 lbs, 30 1/4 in, GH, and Periactin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 I can't believe she is 2 already but then again, the new brother arrived! I still remember when was 2 and 3 -- people at her daycare used to call her " the girl with the hair " not knowing I was her mother.... She had this little face and this MASSIVE amount of hair. Everytime I am at the convention and I see other RSS little girls, I am reminded again of the " girl with the hair. " So many of our girls look similar in that way. I promise the head eventually gets more in proportion to the hair.... Don't remember much about potty chairs. Unfortunately, we were one of those " sit back and wait " families. Just waited long enough that eventually, at about age 3, she took off the pullup and bam, was potty trained that day. If you wait long enough.... ha! > > Hello everybody!

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Hi jenyfer,its kim from scotland,I'm so glad pippin is doing well,i remember using the toilet as a child and always nearly fell in as my bottom was so small but i just seemed to balance myself so i didnt fall in the bowl,he!he! Being small i dont now have trouble with the size of the toilet bowl but rather the height of the toilet itself,sometimes i feel like i'm mountaineering when i go to use some facilities. Pippin's weight is doing well also, I was 4lb 3oz when i was born (2 weeks over due) and weighed only 10lbs at the age of 2yrs 2months old,back then there wasn't such things as g tubes, etc and my parents had to just make do and try to force me to eat, my mum said it took about an hour to eat 30ml of milk and even a tiny bit more made me puke the whole 30ml up..my mum said that when she was potty training me i had a normal size potty but she held me so i didn't fall in,and when i used a normal toilet after the age of 3 approx she still held me then she says when i was ready and didnt want her to hold me i used my hands under my legs to balance me. i'm sure some of the older rss adults have similar experiences to relate. Just remember that the eating and appetite DOES improve and that even though tiny, rss kids thrive and survive on relatively little compared to 'normal' kids . You parents today are fortunate to have support from other parents of rss kids and compare info and experiences. Older rss adults haven't had that and my mum is often asking how the rss kids that i met in chicago are doing and both my parents are interested in how parents of young rss kids cope and use the medical advances they have available to them. Big hugs to pippin,tully and ryker, Jodie wrote: HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY PIPPIN!!!! Give her a big B-day Hug from me!!! jodie c. > > Hello everybody!
