Comments on: Kid-iculous http://www.diabetesmine.com/2008/07/kid-iculous.html A gold mine of straight talk and encouragement for people living with diabetes Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:46:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: AmyBethMac http://www.diabetesmine.com/2008/07/kid-iculous.html/comment-page-1#comment-49462 AmyBethMac Wed, 30 Jul 2008 17:19:36 +0000 http://www.diabetesmine.com/?p=4900#comment-49462 My almost two year old has been fascinated with my pump for awhile now, but I was a little surprised by how observant she is. The other day, I was changing my site for my pump, and I tossed the site serter on my bed. My daughter picked it up, lifted up her shirt, put it against her tummy, and started pressing buttons. She then took my old, back-up pump off my bed table and clipped it to her pants. She insisted on wearing "her pump" all morning. I just pray that she never needs one for real.

It is the only time I feel special about having diabetes. :) My 3 year old niece, Avery, says to me every time I pull out my pump, your medicine Aunt Karen, let me see, can I push the button.

My two-year-old, who is in the testing his limits phase, will absolutely not touch Daddy's pump, but offers to kiss the infusion patch because he knows it's a "hurt." He will also ask to touch the buttons, which, on occasion, he does. Nobody can bolus like a toddler. Adorable!

My daughter (now 5) told me she filled her water bottle up to 10. I said "10 what?", she responded, matter of factly, "quartsinacup". Just made me grin. I got a kick out of those!
