Yes I am!!

My son has a speech delay due to tongue tie which we fixed last summer. We've been working on his "A" sound. He could say the sound "ah" but not "A" like the Fonzie from Happy Days. Tonight he finally said it with thumbs and all. He can do all his vowels..a,e,i,o,u!! The "A" sound is the hardest sound for kids to do so I'm so excited for him.

Well since last August and even in the last month he's been doing so well. He can kinda say his name. He's been calling his sister "Sissy" because he can't pronounce her name yet. He's been trying to speak in sentences and he has basic words down so he can let you know what he wants.

I'm kinda glad we caught this early and not passed it off as "he's just a boy..boys are slower than girls" because he needed help. He's loving his early intervention school. He just went on Summer break for a month today and goes back for July. Then has all of August off and in September he graduates to articulation classes until he goes to Pre-School. The Early Intervention Program will work with him until he doesn't need there services anymore and I appreciate that so much.

The daughter has one more week left of school herself. I can't believe she's almost done with Pre-School. It just seems like she just started school last September. She gets her school evaluation on August 11th to see what she knows before she starts Kinder garden. I told her it's to show them now brilliant she is. As much as I want to kick her out of the house for her education I'm kinda emotional about it. She's growing up so fast and I'm scrambling my brain of what she needs to know before she starts school like know her house address, my cell number, her dad's cell number, and don't go with a stranger under no circumstance etc... So much to learn and I keep wondering if she listens to me and how much I worry, I pray she will do the right things when I'm not with her. I just pray!!

I got some cool kids and they make me a proud momma!! Take care, Peace!!
