Every Tuesday we have speech therapy.
And when I say Owen has come a long way in speech,
I mean a LOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG way.
When we started he wouldn't even point to communicate.
And now he's almost completely caught up.
He's putting 2-3 words together and his vocabulary is expanding by leaps and bounds.
What does this mean?
Obviously, and most importantly, it means that he can now tattle.
The best part of his tattling is it always starts with the words "My Isaac."
For example (and while crying): "Mama, my Isaac, my Isaac hit."
And I gotta say I find it hilarious that even when he's upset with his brother he still calls him my Isaac.
(Also, I live here....and my Owen is by far the champion hitter in this house and his Isaac is usually just trying to defend himself).

My boys being goofy on Daddy's day off.
The kids and I snuck away a few weeks ago for 24 hours in the mountains.
Even though it was a very short trip, it was worth it.
Nana and Popeye got some time with the grandkids and I got to curl up with
my kindle.
It rained the whole time so there was a lot of reading going on.

And yes, because I'm sure you're all wondering, Nana did teach me how to tie a scarf like that.
She's cool like that.
And if you're super nice to me, I may reveal the complex secret.

now that you mention it, I do need to learn!
ReplyDeleteLove the random fun of it all ;)
ReplyDeleteSpeech made such a world of difference for Matthew! At 18 months he wasn't pointing or anything at all either. We started with sign language. Now at 4, he talks constantly- not always understandable, but still...!!!! I was amazed at how much he progressed.
