A little piece of heaven

It’s been too long since my last confessions!

* Today I left the house and forgot to put on the pads to prevent breastmilk from leaking all over my shirt. I was a pretty sight walking around with round wet circles on the front of my shirt.

* Almost every time I pick up Belle and she holds her little head so nice and straight I feel a sharp stab in my heart. Feels so unfair to Nathan.

* I’m enjoying having to buy larger bras

* I smell like curdled milk right now

* I have bathed in poopy water 3 times in the last 2 days (she pooped while we were in the bath together), had to change shirts because I was covered in spit-up 5 times in the last 2 days, been peed on once in the last 2 days..and forgotten all about it with just 1 precious smile.

* My mission this week is to start exercising again. It’s time!

Here is a list of apps that we are trialing for Nathan. I will write reviews about them soon.

I’m updating from nathan’s iPad. I’ve been geeking out! I realized you can downdload and watch movies on the iPad. This is great for Nathan! Once he learns how to navigate the Ipad, it means he will be able to select directly what he wants to watch!

So after paying for a movie through iTunes I wondered if I could upload my own movies. So I looked online and found software that turns dvd’s into mp4’s that can be uploaded to the iPad! So we can store lots of movies right into the ipad – and the battery life is better than any DVD player out there – 10 hours. Also, no more – “oh no I forgot the movies” – as they are all digital and stored right on the ipad.

Nathan is really loving the ipad. He has colored with his hands. He has played the piano. He laughed looking at flash cards and listening to the sounds of animals. He has read disney books (shrek and toy story). He blitzed through Wheels on the Bus. He chose and watched a movie. Each app has a different way of being activated and so far he seems to be able to figure out how to “work” each app.

This thing is great, and as I said before, a whole new world for kids with disabilities. Now I want to start writing apps for Nathan!
