OHSU FEEDING CLINIC

I went back to OHSU’s Feeding Clinic for the first time in a year and a half. We talked about all the cool things I’ve accomplished since then and what my therapy team can do to help me progress.

But first…I wanted to wander the halls and take the tram, of course!

I took a picture from the front of the tram, looking up Marquam Hill to the hospital.

At the bottom, I got to see a Portland Streetcar.

After my long appointment was done, I was all smiles! (These are my favorite seats in the waiting room.)

TEA IN A TRAIN CAR

Mommy and I ventured out on a super rainy day to meet up with Mommy’s friend, Aliah, and have some tea.

This is Aliah. She was super nice!

The front of the tea shop was in an old train car! Here I am, in the caboose.

I could peek out this window to see the rest of the tea shop.

I wanted to go up to a hidden little seating area at the top of the train. I had to climb a ladder, and Mommy and Aliah helped me.

The tea shop provided chalk to draw with, so I wrote my name on the wall, so everyone would know I was there!

POST-BIRTHDAY

For the day after my birthday, I requested we drive to the airport on the roads of my choosing. We drove all around Portland, including two bridges!

Then, as usual, we parked at the top of the parking structure to get the best view.

Finally, we headed into the terminal to watch cars drive on Airport Way and to run back and forth on the moving walkways. Now I’m already planning out my next birthday!

SANTA CLAUS

The Autism Society of Oregon set up a sensory-friendly Santa experience. No music or camera flashes! (They GET me).

Still, there was no way I was going to look at the camera lady. (You can’t just trust a total stranger.)

Instead of asking for toys, I got down to the important business of asking Santa what airlines he’s been on. He said North Pole Airlines. What?? Never heard of that one…and I’ve heard of ’em all.

I also let him know all of the roads we drove on to come see him.

Then it was off to the craft table to make a cool ornament. Thanks, Santa!

ZOOLIGHTS

Yesterday, we went to the Oregon Zoo to see their annual Christmas light extravaganza, ZooLights.

But first…had to check out this awesome bridge! (I love bridges.)

Then it was time to hit the carousel, one of my favorites.

It finally got dark enough for the lights to turn on…

Then on to my other favorite – the zoo train!

Added bonus: Supermoon!

TIN SHED

We went up to Portland yesterday to peruse neighborhoods for when we maybe one day possibly move there.

While we were there, we had lunch at the Tin Shed, where we met up with Aunt Lisa and Uncle Ryan last year.

I was super excited to fly there like an airplane!

But then we waited. A long time. For a table.

But Chubs was really happy because he loves coming out with us!

KIDNEY VISIT

I went back to Doernbecher to visit my nephrologist for a routine follow-up. Everything looks good! I’ll go back in six months to visit the gang.

Then I got to the important work of taking the tram! I was so excited, I had to run the whole way there.

OREGON ZOO

Yesterday, we went to the Oregon Zoo. I’m not exactly…a fan of animals. They kind of scare me. But I was super brave and went anyway.

And rode on a train and a carousel!

POWER NAP

This picture was taken after going to the pool for 2 hours, a lunch out, Legos @ The Library, and snack in the car while playing iPhone games – and before I ran up our street pretending to be an airplane in flight and (while Mommy was trying to cook dinner) exclaiming, “Mommy, play with me!”
