If it weren't for the feeding tube, no one would know that Odette has cancer.
She is your normal 18 month old child.
She is into EVERYTHING!
She has figured out how to open up all the cupboards.
And empty out anything that is in them.
She loves to push things around on the floor.
Stools, pots, pans and feeding tubes.
She likes to try to sit inside of the pans.
She thinks she so cool because she can go up and down the stairs.
We have two gates up.
We also move the kitchen bench to block the rest of the stairs.
She loves her three year old sister.
Who couldn't love that silly girl?
Probably because she helps her do "naughty" things.
Like climb onto the piano or the window seal.
She loves her even when she tries to carry her around the house.
She loves to laugh.
She finds it funny to crawl real fast after you and then fall down on her stomach.
Peek-a-Boo is one of the funniest games to her.
For some reason biting is funny.
She bites really hard!
It can bruise you!
She thinks it is funny to lick you.
She teases me every day by pulling on her feeding tube.
Three times I put it in today.
I don't think she is laughing about that one anymore.
She loves bubbles.
Even when Josselyn pops them all before she can reach them.
They make her squeal with delight.
She loves our dog.
She drinks water out of the tub.
She sleeps...most of the time in her own bed.
She does most things that any child her age would do.
Except eat food.
I have had to fish paper out of her mouth.
And beads from her sisters necklace.
Maybe that means food is next on the menu?
There you have it.
She is just a normal kid...
With cancer fighting super powers!
How cute! What a sweet little girl!
ReplyDeleteExcept she won't put food in her mouth. Even candy. And somehow, she ALWAYS knows when it's edible, even if she's never seen it before, like the candy bracelet I gave her: she tried eating the bag, but once it was opened, she somehow knew it was food and wouldn't even put it in her mouth.
ReplyDeleteI just love her so so much!
