This summer we got on the bandwagon and started working through Early Intervention services and luckily both Matt & Will qualified for speech services, and have been working with a speech therapists once a week for about 10 weeks. Each week, we see a little progress, but then there are the big spurts or the wow moments such as when they call Charlie or each other by name for the 1st time.
New words include:
yummy, "mo" (short for Nemo or Elmo depending on who is the man of the hour), "choclate",, school, stop, ah (yes), green, blue, pink, heavy, sand, dirt, monopoly, alligator, turtle, sgetti, 'hour' (shower), hot, cold... amongst I'm sure many more that don't come to mind at the moment.
This has been a huge improvement for us, as the screaming does become a bit exhausting, but that still happens. Not sure when I should expect that to phase out? Ha. :o)
Charlie, Matt & Will also started preschool on Sept 12th and they all love it. Charlie's teacher has told us over and over what a little social butterfly he is now and he just kinda seems to rule the roost. Matt & Will thoroughly love going to school and have great teachers. They love their art projects and playing on the playground. The school is really awesome and brings lots of outside guests in, such as the fire department last week. Tomorrow is a teddy bear luncheon with favorite stuff animals. Matt & Will's teacher says Matt is always on the lookout for Will and when it is his turn to do something, often wants Will to come up as well... Will hasn't gotten in trouble for hitting. And so far only 1 potty accident at school = success!
On another note, things have just been BUSY. I essentially changed client focus in mid-July with my company and have a whole new set of challenges to figure out, although these are really the cool challenges that people talk about when they say "how fun their job is." But it is keeping me busy, which makes Jon busier, which equals less time to blog. Would like to get back in a routine and with no travel plan, hopefully that is possible.
