No More Speech

For some odd reason, you don't qualify for speech. To be honest, I am past speech class. Peter does a better job. He seems to grab those moments to make you talk. A second ago I heard from the kitchen. "Please open the banana....and the echoing of each word had to be said by Nathan." for some odd reason remembering more than one word is a challenge for Nathan. Each word is said, then repeated by Nathan. It's an exhausting process of patience and then there are sentences he has begun to put together.

I've put many of them on Nathan's facebook page. Yes, he has a wall, and is tagged in many things. The journey shows progress. For the average child, they are able to carry a conversation at the same age, not Nathan. He's who he is, and he makes us laugh often. He has an interesting way about him, he looks for the attention. The eyes of the room being on him.

He's extreem on naughtiness and having his own way.

Starting in January there is some tax free thing for Preschool. I think we are going to take advantage of it, and put him in the most expensive preschool.

Routine test

Sonogram and blood work: Wednesday before thanksgiving, once again they ran the routine, standard for any kid with hemihypertrophy test for cancer and then the sonogram to look for tumors. This was John's first time coming with us, and I hope he can make the next 17 times. Yes, 17 times until he turns 8 years old. Then his chances drop off. I'm not sure why, but this is what is done. I'm friends with and learning from many parents and people with Hemihypertrophy. Look on facebook and Yahoo if your child has this condition. One leg longer than the other, this is looked at once a year.

You Little Twit

That about explains you. So funny, and talking up a storm. You just talk when bribed, but a whole sentence is come out every once in a while. "GET ME OTTA HERE!!" It has become your favorite line. Screaming while I bring you to the car, "Dara, Dara, GET ME OUTTA HERE!"

At speech class, when locked in a chair, "GET ME OUTTA HERE!!" In the car seat. One never knows but it's a sentence that's understood. Moothie for smoothie, FINALLY. I can ask you a question and usually figure out what you want.

Blues Clues!!! Yes, oh how I am loving listening to this over Dora. You seem to be learning more also. You are doing great.

Your best speech class was yesterday. You were so well behaved. You have done okay in preschool classes on Tuesday. We will begin again in January for 9 more weeks.
