Testing, testing…is this thing on??!
So i’m gonna give it another go. Gosh, a year went by??!? These kids have grown up (wait ’til you see). I feel like I’ve been oversharing on f@cebook (oh wait, we ALL do!), so I’m going to swing it back over here and see what happens. If you want to see countless (and I do mean overabundance) of pictures of mostly my children, well, you’re in the right place. If not, keep right on clicking. I have so many blogs I follow now, I think, how will I have time to post? So we’ll see.
Since I’ve been gone…
Lil C is approaching birthday #2, she’s sleeping in the bottom bunk now (bed-bed!), officially diagnosed as expressive speech delay, and starts early Intervention on Tuesday. Yay!! She is madly in love with Elmo (Mel-Mo! — one of her maybe 5 words), she is quite small, quite loveable and totally hysterical. Her newest funny is that she will ask a question (in her abbreviated Lion-speak) and you answer her, she says, “Oh.” Real short, real funny voice, and it is absolutely hysterical. Maybe I can get it on video and put here. “Da-da!” “Da-da’s at work.” “oh.” And the more you laugh, the more she does it, and the funnier it gets.
Big C finished kindergarten, a complete success. She is reading on about a 4th grade level at present, and loves school. Her teacher retired this year, so it was kind of special for C to be in her last class. B & I helped out with Field Day at year’s end, and it was a very fun (hot, sweaty) day! Maybe some pictures of that will make it here too. We’re ready for 1st grade and trying to fill the summer with some fun, especially with working parents. Tomorrow she has a picnic and water park play date, so we’re making it one day at a time.
We got back last week from our family vaca in Hilton Head, and, just for fun, maybe some pictures of that will be on the way too. For now, cheerio!
yay! welcome back! my youngest son has been in speech therapy for about a year and a half now. it has really worked wonders. i wish someone would’ve listened to me and he could have gotten it earlier. i think he wouldn’t be so behind.
anyway, happy to read your new posts!

I am glad that you are back. I saw the pictures of the girls on FB and they are growing like weeds and are just too cute. BTW, my nephew was in the same speach boat as little C and he did speech therapy and now the vocab is amazing. You would never know that he had a problem.

This is the very first blog that I have ever read. It is an interesting idea and I think you will have interesting info. and thoughts to share. I am glad you took the steps to getting a boost for little C. I would love to talk strategies with you and hear of her successes!!

HI E, I just checked this blog by chance and so glad to see you’re back… I’m not on FB so it’s nice to keep up this way. Jackson has an expressive speech delay and I’d tell you his story, but that is a long long story. We loved EI and Jackson actually went to a preschool last year and this coming year for kids with speech delay. It has been wonderful. A good therapist is a tremendous thing. Hope y’all are doing great!

I would always love to hear a story…i remember something about your little guy — he was premature maybe? I can’t remember if I knew details but would love to hear more. I think of you often and hope you all are doing well. My best e mail is buckeyenp03 (at) gmail (dot) com. hugs!
