Busy Morning

Elias had two therapy sessions in one morning with an hour in between, so we made the most of it. 

First up was OT. He worked on risk taking and motor planning using very wiggly ladder. 





He worked on tactile input with shaving cream and stickers. 



Between sessions we ran to the store because he finally saved enough money for the LEGO set he’s been wanting. 

Then it was time to head back to the office for food therapy. He worked hard to get his body ready to try new foods. This is one of his favorite ways to prepare his mouth. He would tell you he always beats Miss Monica. :)

Therapist: let’s try some lettuce. What animals like to eat lettuce?

Elias: I don’t know. 

Therapist: one of the animals that eats lettuce we talk about a lot at Easter. 

Elias: oh. A tiger.

He worked hard and tried three new foods. He ate an entire piece of celery with peanut butter! He tried pickles, three salad dressings, and lettuce which were all new to him. Great work Elias!

More House Projects

It’s a good day at the frat when a truck pulls up hauling a skid steer complete with a jack hammer AND an auger attachment. 

It’s like a two for the price of one. We get the work done, and the boys are entertained for three days straight. 





Reinforcing the north and south basement walls. West wall was done before we bought the house, so just the east wall left. 














The workers were so nice to the boys. They answered all the questions and let us watch up close as long as it was safe. 

Baby Doctor

Levi is the first Burda boy (I think) to fit into Logan’s doctor costume from when he was little. 

G&G Fun

The Jedi’s spend a lot of time in the backyard last week. 

I’m told that this Jedi was fighting a threatening octopus. 

Lewis learned to play canasta!

Me: whatcha thinking about Lewis?

Lewis: giant’s poop. 

Me: interesting. I would not have guessed that. 

Lewis: it would be SO BIG. 

One Year Ago

One year ago the world went on lockdown and I finally succeeded in making yeast breads. Lewis and I marked the anniversary by making cinnamon rolls and practicing our Easter rolls. He learned how to braid dough and did a great job on his first try!

Here’s the finished product.

Toddler Toes

After a long winter of footie pajamas and winter boots the cuteness of the bare toddler feet always surprises me. 

Trucks

When you love trucks so much that you even eat your breakfast out of one.
