This week!
This has been a busy week!
Josh spent the night w/ mom and dad on Tuesday night. They went to Dollywood yesterday. I think Josh enjoyed the time by himself! :) He had a great time. He had his own money, too, so he was thrilled to get to shop for himself. He bought some candy (big surprise) and a Mystery Mine sun visor (which he looks way too cute in).
Yesterday, we finally had another speech evaluation for Emma. The therapist was great...she used to be on a cleft team in Dallas, so she actually had some experience w/ cleft children! Yay!
After all of the testing, she decided Emma could use some help w/ just her speech (duh)...her language skills, comprehension level, etc. were fine. We could have told them that. HA! She just has trouble saying her words.
She will start therapy next week...we're only going to go twice a month (going every week is just not possible). The goal is for the therapist to teach Phil and me how to teach Emma. Once she turns 3, she'll be able to use the therapists in the school system (if needed).
I'm just thrilled someone will be helping Emma w/ her words - she tries so hard!!
Callie had to go to school all by herself yesterday. :) She actually did just fine. She was very stoic once we got there...she sat in her chair and didn't move a muscle (pretty typical). One of these days she's going to relax. However, she did great - wasn't upset about being left alone.
One of the little boys sat down with her (as told by his mommy). He kept saying, "Hi!!"...getting louder and louder - just in case Callie didn't hear him. She just stared straight ahead trying to ignore him. He said, "I'm nice!!". :) He told her Hi one more time. This time, she kind of raised her finger and gave him a slight nod. Poor kid - he couldn't figure out why this crazy girl wasn't talking to him! LOL
Josh has gone to Laser Quest today w/ daycare...what a fun field trip. I wanted to go!! :) I didn't dare tell Josh that it was dark in there...he was already a little nervous about going after I tried to explain to him what it was. Hopefully, he's having a good time! I think once he gets what's going on, he'll be fine. :)
