sensory issues...anyone???
spoons with ridges to pull the tongue forward...smooth to not freak her out and over fill her sensory cup; tri-chew to get the feel of fruits, veggies and meats without the taste!
make her chew...organza and chewy bits...we love our OT, Wendy
**edited---organza because it's got tiny holes so the food doesn't get thru and choke a non-chewing kiddo--and no threads...can't reuse it, but it comes in pretty colors too! cheesecloth sheds strings, gets icky, and big pieces get thru...yikes**
how many spoons does it take to feed a baby?

adoption awareness....
there are no unwanted children, there are simply unfound families! remember that!
adoption is NOT for everyone. but everyone can help.
steven curtis chapman started shaohannah's hope to live out James 1:27 in our lives. you can help by starting an adoption fund at your church, or praying every day for orphans, or giving a grant to a family in need of financial assistance, or be a listening (not talking) post...etc. please consider what you can do personally to make a difference in the life of an orphan.
not sure of what you can do? head over to Cry of the Orphan and it will help you with some great questions and guidance. remember, one kid only needs one person to care.
in 2005, SCC came and visited our adoption support group...i can't believe how long that's been now. he shared their adoption story and he was truly amazing to each of the kiddos. i wish you could have felt his passion...it was contagious.
look at his love for the kids (he's right under the X in extreme). amazing!
find some of that passion...do something. please.

ive always wanted to adopt and felt my heart pulled toward it but reading your blogs about it reallly makes me want to.
Thank you for stopping by my blog. I loved reading about adoption.
My bro and sis in law just adopted a little girl. Such a blessing!
My heart still aches for SCC. I can't even imagine losing a child.
Me too! I didn't know such spoons and organza thingy existed! Your kid is under OT? Mine too. Thanks for sharing this :)

That is beautiful. My MIL is adopted and my husband and I discussed wanting to adopt before we had kids. Not sure if it will happen or not. But I'll never say never.
My kiddo has Sensory Processing Disorder, so I'm totally with you on the sensory issues. Thank goodness for awesome OTs!!
(I'm also a mom through adoption as well as being an adoptee myself. I think I've mentioned that before while visiting your blog....)
Anyhow, congrats on the win and happy weekend!
