First Swim This Summer

Two weekends ago, we were invited to my brother-in-law's birthday at their home. All the kids were excited to go swimming because the past few weeks since mid-February had been very, very hot.

While his brothers immediately plunged in the pool, we placed James' stroller near it and let him watch first while we finish his tube-feeding session. (His feeding bag and pump were strapped inside the backpack behind the stroller).

See how excited our little boy is!

James was already perspiring about 10 minutes later so hubby dressed him in trunks and handed him to me in the water. As always, James was so happy to go swimming. There, I can just support his head while he lay face up and kick his feet and legs with delight.

Overall, it was such a nice afternoon :)

Playing with Flash Cards

James loves words and letters. He enjoys being read to. He likes it when he hears people singing the alphabet or speaking in rhymes. He particularly gets excited when we show him big, bold letters on flash cards. The other night, Daddy and James played with letters. Our little boy seemed to have enjoyed seeing his name spelled out on the mat.

Therapy Using the ChildRite Seat

Here's James, getting used to sitting upright by himself. With the help of the ChildRite Seat , here's praying that his neck and trunk muscles would soon be strong enough to support independent sitting.

Wishlists for James

As many parents who have children with special needs know, it is sometimes very hard to find or buy supplies for our kids that we can afford. As such, if you know of people who are disposing the following items either through donations or discounted prices, do let us know. We would appreciate the help very much. All photos you can see here are: 1. Formulas for tube-feeding that would greatly help James get the special nutrition he needs 2. Special needs equipment that would make him more comfortable and which would help us take care of him better *items are updated as the need for them arise
