Smores's Small Place

Like yes I need a shower chair and I need a sponge on a stick so I can reach my back but also I can technically stand there and it's a painful process but I can clean my back on my own sooo 🤷🏻

we should talk more about messy regression . . .

⧽ throwing tantrums just to get the icky feelings out

⧽ hiding away from things because they don't make you feel amazing

⧽ kicking and fussing because you feel so fussy for no reason

⧽ having to cling to a stuffie at all times

⧽ crying over the small things

being an imperfect little isn't bad at all !! you just express yourself differently ! o(>∀<*)o

Shout out to disabled age regressors who need to use baby bottles, sippy cups, pacifiers, diapers or things similar even when they aren't regressed

i have a hard time relating to posts in the agere community about regression with chronic illness or “stuck in bed” regression. so here are some things that help me & that i enjoy in my regression, as someone with severe chronic illness/physical disability

⋆｡°✩ nesting in bed. having everything i could need or want within arms reach when i’m in too much pain to get out of bed. my nests often include my stuffies, heating pad, ipad, notebook/pens, sylvanian families, and stim toys

⋆｡°✩ low stimulation kids shows - too much light/color/sound can make my symptoms worse. so i try to stick to things like bluey or curious george. i love to prop my sylvanians up to watch with me

⋆｡°✩ matching pajamas! sometimes i’m in too much pain for clothes. matching pajama sets make me feel so special and pretty, especially when i’m small!

⋆｡°✩ making medical devices fun - i love picking out tubie pads - especially if it’s a fun shape like a heart, or if it matches my pjs. i also always use decorative dexcom patches. and when i have the energy, i like to draw on my tube feed bag

⋆｡°✩ facetiming my cg , there is nothing this couldn’t fix

⋆｡°✩ just generally, trying to allow myself to rest, recover, and use disability aids, whatever they may be.

⋱ ― ♱ . REGRESSION THINGS TO DO FOR FALL... WITH AND WITHOUT A CAREGIVER ♱ (request from anon)

with a caregiver.

fall drink bar ! you and your caregiver could collaborate to create a little drink bar for a movie night or puzzle night. get hot coco or coffee, caramel drizzle, leaf or pumpkin shaped sprinkles, etc. and then have fun making your drinks together and sharing the whimsy

halloween costume fashion show ! pick out some costume ideas with your CG, it can be stuff you already have or you can make new things if you cant take pictures sew or glue fabric together. and then do runway walks for your stuffies or each other!

bake fall goodies ! with the supervision of a cg, you can have fun in the kitchen. they can help you with the recipe and clean up together. you can pick any sorts of fall goodies !! like pumpkin pie or cinnamon rolls or leaf shaped sugar cookies !! lots of options

take fall walks ! collect leaves of different shades, play i-spy or a scavenger hunt with things in the area. you can also do this from inside a car or bus if walking isn’t optimal for you. just a fun way to be more present in the moment and appreciate the changing of seasons.

without a caregiver.

make leaf piles ! If you’re able, you can rake together leaves and jump in them. But if you can’t do as much physical activity then you can always make paper leaves at home and then string them around, make paper crowns, etc. with them to still enjoy it!

fall toy photoshoot ! take photos of your toys outside, in halloween costumes, etc. Play pretend and make fun photos!! if you cant take pictures, you can also draw or write or just pretend with your imagination! I like taking inspiration from LPS photoshoots :3

take some time to learn about the season ! you can go to the library and check out books, or find online educational videos to watch. you can learn through those resources and find ones that appeal to your regression based on age, aesthetic, etc.

make pinboards ! collect ideas for fall photos, outfits, foods, etc. that you love ! you can save halloween costumes or food you want to try making or games you want to play. just a little bit of fun that doesn’t require moving around too much.

Apple picking! Go to an apple orchard and pick apples! You can then make cider or pie!

A Corn maze! These are always fun, find the closest one to you and go have fun!

Leaf Art! Check out my leaf rubbings post, or make your own! You can tape leaves to a paper and make art, too!

Pumpkin choosing! Choose your pumpkin in a pumpkin patch, and carve it when it turns around Halloween! You can roast the seeds to make yummy snacks!

Leaf pile roundup! this means getting a rake, collecting all the crunchy leaves into piles, and jump in them! Then, you can find a way to get rid of the leaves (Put them in a garden as mulch, dump them in the creek/river, or use some to make art!)

Make a scarecrow! You can use hay from a hay bale or hay from the store to fill the body (Use a potato sack or cloth! Then, you can fill the head with hay and color on it! Make sure you give it a hat!) (Update!)

Making autumn sensory bottles/boxes. This means gathering some non-deterioratable items and filling a jar or box up with them! you can use water, glitter, charms, and other things in one to make a perfect sensory bottle you can shake.

Find a hayride and go on it, or host your own!

Go to a petting zoo! You can find these in most places, and you can interact with the animals!

Apple bobbing! Put a bunch of apples in a barrel or bucket of water, and try to get them using your mouth only!

Halloween trick-or-treating! This is the most popular, get your costume together and go! Never stops being fun.
