Carsyns’ Custom Ride

Filed Under: Family, Parenting, Special Needs Tagged With: carsyn, cerebral palsy, goto seat, Holoprosencephaly, rc big foot

If you follow me on instagram you know that we recently bought Carsyn the Firefly GoTo Seat thanks to the amazing donations from you all. Well we have been using it a ton in many different ways. I think our favorite use so far was tonight. Kenny had built the Remote Controlled Big Foot Power Wheels awhile back but we never found a good solution to help Carsyn sit up straight. Carsyn would enjoy it for a few minutes and then start slouching or slipping. Which in turn would make him fuss. Over the winter we didn’t use it much but Kenny pulled it out tonight and I said, “Let’s try the GoTo Seat.” We strapped it to Big Foot and then strapped Carsyn in. He absolutely LOVED it.

Carsyns' Custom Ride

Carsyn rode in his Big Foot Power Wheels for at least 30 minutes and did not fuss once. He even had some races with Dustyn in his Power Wheels. This photo just tells the whole story. He was so excited to be beside his Bubba. Just look at that sweet smile. I love that this is something they can do together as brothers.

Carsyns' Custom Ride
Here is a short video of them racing. Amazing, right? Kenny did such a wonderful job building this Big Foot for Carsyn.

I love this little guy so much. His smile is contagious and he makes my days brighter. I can not even imagine my life with out him.

The Firefly GoTo Seat is really amazing and so versatile. Next on our list is to order the Upsee Harness! I can not wait to get that for Carsyn!

If you have a child with special needs I highly recommend getting a GoToSeat. No I was not paid to say this, I just love it so much.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.
Sweet pea. Sweet pea.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

She recommended this wooden trellis from Lowe’s that cost less than $15. I tied up the droopy leaves with twine. There is lots of room left for growth.
I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendro I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendron white wizard when I first got it, I also didn’t give it enough sunlight. So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.
