What A Week!

First I'll start off with my very very exciting news! My little brother is getting Married!!! He asked her Wednesday night. I'm so happy, she's great! They are not planning it for another year or so. Which is good I need time to save up! He told me he got her a Build-A-Bear and put the ring around it's neck on a chain and left it on her bed. How sweet is that! I know my brother is such a great guy....Sorry girls he's off limits on!!

I spent the day with my Mother-in-law today. We haven't seen her in about a month, so it was nice to spend the day w/her. We went to this really nice mall that I've never been to before, and walked around. I tried to find M a Christmas dress, but no luck I may be making her one, I'm not sure yet.

Anyways, she asked me about N's speech. Which I was starting to get a little worried about, but I thought maybe it was getting better. I also had the lady from the Early Steps program ask me about it about 2 weeks ago, but I just told her that he was doing fine before M was born and then started the baby talk after she was born, but I was trying to work on it w/him. I know a lot of toddles revert when they get a sibling or something BIG happens in their lives, so I wasn't to worried. I've been telling him to talk like a boy not a baby, and most of the time he'll talk "normal" after that. Then there is also him not talking, he'll get mad, upset, or want something and he'll just point or just "say" aa aa(baby talk). I went through speech therapy so I know a few things so I tried to get him to tell me what it is by asking-the apple or banana and showed them to him, but he would just point(smartie pants). So now I ask him to tell me what he wants, or what's wrong and I try not to guess or anything unless he's getting really upset like he's frustrated. So now that the Early Steps lady and my Mother-in-Law made a comment about it and it doesn't seem to be getting better, I think I'll call the Early Steps Lady Monday and try to get him evaluated. If we catch it early enough maybe he will only need a few sessions to get back on track. We'll see what happens!
