I'm sure you've gotten plenty of ...Hey Em!<br /><br />I'm sure you've gotten plenty of input about the Captain, but I just wanted you to know you're not alone.<br /><br />My son was saying "ball," "truck" and a bunch of jibberish just before he turned 3. I was kind of annoyed, and everyone kept telling me something might be wrong. I did the hearing tests, the early intervention eval, and finally, I listened to my Dr. who said that as long as comprehension is there, speech development is such a huge variable between 2-4 and to ride it out...they have plenty of time to catch up.<br /><br />So, I stopped stressing about it and I just left it alone. I'm so glad.<br /><br />By 4, he was plenty caught up and just fine. He's now in kindergarten and is right on target with speech, reading, and everything else. Nobody could tell you which kids were talking at 2 or 4 because in the long run, it doesn't make a difference. You'll know by then where he really needs help.<br /><br />Just breathe. You are doing everything right, and you're a (perfectionist) mom with 3 busy, healthy, growing boys.Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06274447911010180400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18999880.post-3624677863335627192011-02-17T15:16:31.840-07:002011-02-17T15:16:31.840-07:00just wanted to to say 'I love you' and ful...just wanted to to say 'I love you' and fully trust that in a few months from now he'll have caught up just fine....life, the way of the hummingbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994229501139098135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18999880.post-87946355504590392752011-02-16T20:18:15.668-07:002011-02-16T20:18:15.668-07:00You do have a full plate. As I tried to answer tho...You do have a full plate. As I tried to answer those questions for my children, I was left saying "ummm" too. I hope that you don't get too down filling out the rest of those forms. You are a good mom Em, there is no doubt about that. Hopefully the speech therapy will go well, and the frustration will subside. Hang in there! PS- You may want to talk to Chantele, she went through the same thing with Caden,Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09232639623361857068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18999880.post-30326978518796861162011-02-16T20:16:35.254-07:002011-02-16T20:16:35.254-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09232639623361857068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18999880.post-67116881620113739222011-02-16T15:22:50.014-07:002011-02-16T15:22:50.014-07:00I'm sorry you felt that way about the trial, e...I'm sorry you felt that way about the trial, er, I mean, assessment. If it makes you feel any better I don't really know the answers to those questions about my kids, either. You are still an attentive parent. You just don't hover. Which is a good thing. At least The Captain is going to get a little boost. I hope it works quickly and you can more easily communicate soon. I hate this point and shout period.hairyshoefairyhttp://hairyshoefairy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18999880.post-55143413420108550752011-02-15T22:32:39.623-07:002011-02-15T22:32:39.623-07:00i think you press "5".
