Is Summer here?
We seem to have had a few days of nice weather and if I whisper it I may just believe that summer is nearly here! The kids are spending more time in the garden, which means I can actually risk vacuuming up and tidying as they are not in to undo all my hard work! Mind you, I always seem to end up in the garden with them so still nothing gets done!
Josh has his speech therapy appointment on Tuesday and he does seem to be improving. The Speech therapist is lovely with him, he's been there over a year and a half now, mainly for assessment up till now. He's had just about everything tested during that time, but its only in the last 6 months that his speech has really come on. We know his hearing is OK, he's not tongue tied and his development other than his speech is better than his age. She seems to think he has a problem with his sequencing (as well as a small pronunciation problem) but we're all working on it to get better and I do start to see the end of the tunnel now. When you have a child with any sort of problem though the road is a long one. You can talk to the professionals and other people in the same situation till your blue in the face, but your head tells you one thing, your heart another.
Josh is a very special little man though and if he grows up to show half the concern for others that he does now, I will continue to be proud of him!

Oh what a star son you have. I love the fact he shows concern for others.....cutie cutie1
As a teacher, you'd read the records of the kids in your class and there'd be a mention of speech therapy as little uns, but there'd be nothing wrong at all now. It is surprisingly common. Not that that helps the here and now though. Josh will be fine and he is doing brilliantly!
Yay to summer weather!
