Speech Update

Sweet T is coming along in her speech. 

She still goes to ST 2x a week and enjoys it very much.  I just had her yearly IEP meeting with her OT and ST and it went very well.  She has improved some but still has a long way to go. 

I’ve debated on whether or not to send her to kindergarten this fall.  I can hardly believe she’s going to be 5 in just a few short weeks!!  Then in June it will be 3 years as a forever family!  Wow!!!  Anyway, I’ve debated on sending her because of how far behind she really is.  You see, we don’t notice it when we are together.  We understand her when she wants something and if not she’ll sign it to us.  She’s saying sentences now that we can almost understand, she’s come a looong way!  But, when I saw her with her peers at a birthday party I was shocked!  I had to go to the bathroom because I was crying. 

Her teachers all say to send her, she’ll be fine.  So, we’ll send her.  She’ll have her IEP, we’ll meet with the new ST soon, and I’ll talk to her new teacher this fall.  I don’t want any special treatment for her, but I do want her teacher to understand exactly how far she’s come! 

Here are a few video’s…

 

More Pictures with the Family

I talked the kids into getting dressed and going to the park for some pictures.  I really wanted to walk up to the stone bench but both girls wanted to play more than take pictures.   My oldest would NOT smile for me when he was with his brother.  I played around in photoshop with these pictures but I’m not liking the results yet so don’t be surprised if you see them again.  I have plenty more pictures to look at and will get those up shortly.
