Life and my boys

POOWEE IS POTTY TRAINED!! YAY!!!!!!!!

We are so proud of our big man! He hasn’t had a diaper on for two weeks now! Except at night, which he is starting to fight about. Last night he actually woke up and walked to the bathroom. I’m still wanting the diaper on at night though!

He’s so cute in his little unders! His doopa is much easier to pinch too!

At times he goes to the bathroom all by himself. If I go in he holds his hand up to me and says, “Get out!” WHATEVER!

Other times he says, “Pa Pa” for potty.

Then there’s the times he pulls his pants down way before he’s to the bathroom, and walks all the way with his pants around his ankles. Yeah, this is nice when your in a public place. Goof-ball!

Update on Eli’s CCTV!

GREAT news! Elijah’s VI teacher,K  had written the Lions Club and one club responded.

This club is getting together with another group and are going to fund a portable CCTV for him.

Portables are much cheaper, so they think they can do it. K thinks Eli will really like the Sense View.

The Lions will be discussing it at their meeting on Mon.

K is also looking at another option. Our local technical college is closing their low vision center. DEVASTATING NEWS!! She’s trying to find out what they will be doing with the equipment.

It is very sad that this program is closing. The closest low vision service for us will now be 2  1/2 hours away. Eli and I did go there two years ago. It was very helpful in learning what was all out there for Eli. I’m planning on getting him in again before they shut the doors June 15th.

I think I will still pursue my insurance company for a desktop CCTV. If the attorney for disability rights feels we have a chance.

A desktop on has it’s definate benefits. Especially when it comes to Eli working to improve his reading fluency. The screen is way larger, giving him more words to see and being able to read ahead. The portable one only has a 4.3 inch screen.

We’ll see… I sent a packet of information to the attorney. She called yesterday left a voice message that said, “Got your packet of information. It’s very interesting! I have a few question. Please call back.” But, when I did she had just left the office. I’ll be calling today.

I’m somewhat feeling guilty for continuing the fight to get him a desktop one though. Is it right for me to accept a portable one and try to get him a desktop one? They both have their benefits and will be very useful for Eli!
