my first sticker album

Mommy got me a sticker album and we started working with it this morning. (She said it's good for "fine motor skills" or something.)

Mommy helps me peel off the stickers, but I can apply them all by myself!

See...check me out! :)

But do not...no matter what...tell me what to do. Yep, this is the infamous angry "finger" I have been using a lot lately!

Leslie, Arlin and Katie Kauffman said...: That "angry finger" is pretty threatening, Max! :-)

At least you don't give people the "chicken" when you're angry, like Katie does! You know you're in big trouble when she flaps her left arm like a chicken at you! :-)

Katy said...: Amy,
I'm pretty sure I've seen that "angry finger" before...but on someone about two decades older and with way curlier hair. Stubborn-ness must be a family trait. :); January 16, 2008 at 9:22 PM
Shannon said...: LOLOLOL. Oh Amy. Not the "no" finger! I think this is by far the funniest pic yet. He's saying, "Mom, back of lady. These are MY stickers!" :)

Growing up way too fast. We have the same stickers but my kids put them on the walls which freaks me out. LOL Maybe I need to designate a sticker spot?

And yes you are so right. I bet a long time ago those words would have made you break down. This "label" will indeed assist him in alot of ways. Without diagnosis and labels, my dear kids (they were my clients but I called them my kids) wouldnt have been able to get the needed services. How is Hippo training going? Now thats an awesome service :)

You're looking good Max!
Sweet kisses to you darlin'.

charge syndrome

CHARGE syndrome is a recognizable (genetic) pattern of birth defects which occurs in about one in every 9-10,000 births worldwide. It is an extremely complex syndrome, involving extensive medical and physical difficulties that differ from child to child. The vast majority of the time, there is no history of CHARGE syndrome or any other similar conditions in the family. Babies with CHARGE syndrome are often born with life-threatening birth defects, including complex heart defects and breathing problems. They spend many months in the hospital and undergo many surgeries and other treatments. Swallowing and breathing problems make life difficult even when they come home. Most have hearing loss, vision loss, and balance problems which delay their development and communication. All are likely to require medical and educational intervention for many years. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, children with CHARGE syndrome often far surpass their medical, physical, educational, and social expectations.
