Pickpick

I picked out library books for my kid. She‘s very picky and won‘t always let me read to her at all (she will yell and kick the book into the floor - she‘s non-verbal so that‘s her way of saying no lol). She insisted on reading this book twice AND tried to help turn pages. So that‘s definitely a 5 star review from me and her. #girlslikedinosaurstoo

I just read about this book, Bleeder. It's set in the town I live in and written by an author from near here as well. It sounds interesting. I think I'm going to try to get it from the library. #bleeder #NCauthors #localauthor #localsetting

Unrelated photo of my daughter hugging the dinosaur shirt I was about to buy her. She had been fussing until I showed her the shirt and let her hold it. #girlslikedinosaurstoo

Aaaand just for the hell of it, here is my daughter after the x-ray the GI sent her for. I handed her her T-Rex to distract her while the tech made sure she didn't need to take a 2nd x-ray. She did really well and the GI was nice and respectful of us. He said Parker looked healthy and didn't seem concerned with anything. Eased my anxiety a lot. #babiesoflitsy #litsykids #girlslikedinosaurstoo

BookDragonNotWorm I still love dinosaurs! Hope she feels better soon. 8y
Vexingcircumstance @BookDragonNotWorm she's fine. She has a neurological condition and food allergies and just has to go to a lot of specialists but she's actually doing really well and the GI said she looked healthy and we were doing well working around her issues and helping her adapt. :) (edited) 8y
BookDragonNotWorm That's great! Glad to hear she's well :) 8y

Vexingcircumstance I get super anxious taking to her doctors because of some bad experiences in the past with a few of them. I was scared of the GI trying to push us to let them do a feeding tube (a previous neurologist was pushy about it because she's still drinking from a bottle and won't eat anything solid...even though she drinks her prescribed formula fine and 'it's the same thing she would get in a feeding tube) but he wasn't like that at all. Which was a huge 8y
Vexingcircumstance Relief for us. 8y
Cinfhen She's adorable, glad to hear all is well 💕💕 8y
Jinjer Awww if she's getting all the nutrition she needs let the poor child have her bottle! Some doctors...🙄 8y
Vexingcircumstance @Jinjer that's our point exactly. She has food anxiety due to allergies and some sensory issues with textures in her mouth. So anything not in her bottle gags her but she drinks the bottle fine. And is in OT and speech working on the food texture issues and we have been working on easing her anxiety. It just will take time. 8y
Vexingcircumstance But one doctor still thought it made more sense to put her through surgery and infection risk for a feeding tube. Honestly it would probably be easier on us in some ways if she did have one but definitely not best for her. 8y
Jinjer I've worked with enough doctors to know they get paid for doing all these extra, unnecessary procedures. Got away with doing one on my poor 89-yo mother. Your sweet baby will give up the bottle when she's ready!!!! 😡 8y

My daughter decided naptime actually means give your stuffed triceratops kisses and cackle laughing about it time. She did this for a while but does now seem to be falling asleep while playing with him. He has been buried at the end of her bed for awhile and I moved him up beside her. I think she was happy to see him. #babiesoflitsy #girlslikedinosaurstoo
