What is causing your speech problems

Nathan, I know you have hemihypertrophy, but you won't talk to me, the frustration of knowing I can't converse with you, is building. I don't know why you won't talk, you can talk, but you refuse. At times you understand, but at others, you just object or ignore the person talking to you.

The leg length is more obvious as you get older. January 9th at 2:30 you will have another evaluation. I have had your vision and hearing checked once but you wouldn't stand for the head set.

The second time your hearing was checked in a sound proof room with three characters in the corners. You were distracted by a new jacket your brother had put on you, at the last minute.

Note to self, all items stay in the car, nothing but a t-shirt and jeans and the same pair of shoes, anything new causes problems during an examination.

You are cute, very, very, cute.

Hearing Screening

My little guy went to the high school to get a vision and hearing screening. They had some kid friendly earphones but he wanted nothing to do with the screening. Yes, he tracks things, but he got bored with the dot test right away. Ever wonder if your child is maybe just too smart to be bothered with these stupid tests. Maybe, I just don't know because my son won't tell me anything.

He laughs and giggles, jumps on the bed, burrows under the covers and does so many things that are just what a regular almost three year old would do. He just doesn't talk.

A and B are the first two letters he has learned so far, but like everything he picks and choses when he will say the word, and gets bored very quickly with speaking.

Tomorrow he'll get a different type of hearing screening. For now it's a journey. An interesting one, at times I get discouraged but I realize it doesn't really matter what the experts say, Nate is who God made him. For what purpose, I don't know but for now the lives of 6 people love to watch him, a simple smile light up the room.
