My twins are very sensory hypersensitive. They are bothered by smells, sounds and touches that most of us don't even notice. When they are sick these senses are even more sensitive. This last week has brought on an avalanche of nebulizer treatments. First Joshua and now Lucas. Apparently, all of our boys have reactive airway issues. When Alex has breathing treatments it is no big deal. The twins turn it in to a monumental event. They can't stand the "smoke" in their eyes. The screaming and crying completely drown out the motor sound on the machine. This has brought us to a new level of creative parenting. The boys must have the treatments so we have had to invent motivation and accomodations.
For Joshua....we invented a superhero tale...
As long as you are wearing your Robin costume and dinosaur mask you can do anything...
even having supersonic mist blown in your nose.
For Lucas...the superhero thing just didn't work. He didn't care about super powers.
Lucas wanted his eyes shielded.
Can you be any cooler that wearing a dinosaur mask and Daddy's sunglasses?
When your babies are sick, you do whatever it takes to get them better :)

So true. You would do anything for your babies, no matter how old they are.
Hope everyone gets well soon.
