Remember when the refrigerator repair man said it would take three months to get the parts to repair our fridge?! Well, it turns out they got them much quicker and they were available to come on Monday, January 24th, to work on the fridge.
[Snow!]
After working for HOURS on the fridge, the two repairmen decided that they needed another part. Luckily, they had this part at their shop, so we made plans for them to return the next day to finish the job.
I can't tell you how much I love this snowman! It's made with shaving cream and it's squishy! I have no idea how they made it, but it's going up on our wall for all to see!
That night I went to the local School Board Meeting. It was... interesting...
I had no intention of speaking, but there were some angry moms that wanted the School Board to hear their thoughts. Some topics covered were: the "authoritarian tyrant in Springfield," how vaccines and mask don't work and how everyone is sick and our hospitals are full, how vaccines and mask don't work and NOBODY is sick and the hospitals are empty ("don't listen to the FAKE NEWS!"), the lawsuit against the school district to unmask the children or else they will get cancer, the mental health of the children, etc. I thought most of the people speaking were a little dramatic, which made me roll my eyes and shake my head a lot. Good thing they weren't looking at me because I do not have a poker face.
One of the moms that spoke decided that her time would be best spent thanking the School Board for working so hard. No matter what they decide they have angry moms yelling at them. It's a hard job and they want what's best for our kids too.
After the moms spoke, some school administrators spoke. When the social workers and school psychologist got up to speak a bunch of the moms that claimed that mask were hurting their children mentally got up and left! Why would you not stay and listen to the report from the people who are tasked with helping your children with their mental health?! It blew my mind and I was very disappointed.
On Tuesday, January 25th, Theo went to OT and school and Josh and I went shopping!
We recently found some pictures and artwork that were hiding in our basement. We found some fun frames for them and got them hung up in the house.

Since we got our fridge back we needed to put the replacement one in the basement. It was a little difficult, but Josh figured it out!
Look at these adorable beanies! If you would like to buy one you can get them here. All proceeds go to VOGM.org
On Wednesday, January 26th, Theo had feeding/speech therapy and we Zoomed with his Dietitian. Back in July 2021 Theo got up to 47 lbs. His GI Specialist thought that was a little high, so she talked to our Dietitian and they agreed we should cut Theo's calories slightly. We reduced his intake from 24 ounces of Kate Farms to 21 ounces of Kate Farms a day. As of today Theo is down to 43.8 lbs and his Dietitian said we need to get him to plateau or gain a little weight. We decided to increase his food intake and to start giving him 24 ounces of Kate Farms a day.
The extermination of the Jewish people was the Nazi's "Final Solution." It should be hard to talk about the Holocaust, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about it.
Never forget.
On Friday, January 28th, Josh drove up to Milwaukee, so he could retake his CWI Part B test. Theo and I stayed at home and played!
My parents were in Orlando for a few days to fix some issues at our condo and house. My dad installed this awesome doorbell camera, while my mom did an inventory of our things and made sure that nothing was broken or missing. Thanks for getting everything taken care of!
A new running challenge came up! Think I should do it!
Theo has been spending a lot more time on his right side. He still won't put that right ear to the ground, but he's getting closer!
We are so excited that the LA Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals are going to the Super Bowl. Do we root for my hometown team (even though I'm a Chargers fan) OR do we root for the Bengals where most of my family lives?! I'm just hoping for a good game and some nachos!
At 10:30 PM, Sunday night, Theo started screaming and I ran into his room to find him COVERED in puke. He has thrown up everyday since we increased is food intake. The has always had a "volume" problem, but I didn't think that increasing his intake by 3 ounces would make that much of a difference (especially since that's how much he was getting before). Oh boy, was I wrong! Poor kid. We are going to decrease his intake again and then try to increase it again, but very slowly. I guess we'll see if that helps!
