10 Days Post Surgery

What a difference 10 days can make...Van is almost back to full speed Van...every day he gets a little faster and a lot sassier. We have our follow-up appointment this Thursday and we are hoping for the all clear. He's already making lots of new sounds and we've got our speech therapy scheduled to begin in November.
Since we've been home all week, Van decided it was a good time to potty train...he just started doing it without any prodding and he's doing great. We've already run out of Elmo stickers for his chart and we can't use the M&M rewards since they aren't soft food. He's just so proud of himself and he loves to wear the Diego pull-ups. The kid who could care less about the TV 4 months ago, now has a list of character crushes...we've got Elmo, Thomas, Dora, Diego, the Backyardigans and Yo Gabba Gabba...so far. Yes it's been a long week at home with TV and the potty but it's all so worth it to see him getting better and happier by the day.
From the looks of the photos, you would think we were doing really well with the snuggle arms...not really. We've found at least one arm off most nights in the crib and witnessed him using his feet to actually pry them off at night. We are only using them for sleep now and he sometimes even requests that we put them on while he's playing...he's a funny adorable kid for sure.
