How Sydney's Sweet Life was Born!
You know how three year old's want to assert their independence. Every task is a battle of "ME DO IT" and "NO". It's normal and I try to let Sydney choose what she would like to wear and how she wants her hair fixed. The part that sucks about diabetes is that every day she has no option if she's going to get her fingers pricked 7-10 times a day. She has no option if she's going to get a shot or get an infusion set.
It was one of those days...Sydney hated every pump pack that I put on her. She cried and told me that she wished her diabetes would go away...and then it's like a lightbulb went off in my sleep deprived head. Finally something she can control! That day we went to the fabric store. Sydney picked out her fabric and I stayed up until 3am sewing. I slipped her pump pack on her while she was sleeping. Check out the picture of her when she realized she had a cute pump pack! She has pump packs to match every outfit...and it helps her feel like she's controlling something. Let's face it-a girls gotta have options.
