ETHAN CAN NOW PUT TWO WORDS TOGETHER!!!
*does a slaphappy little jig*
I can't even begin say how excited I am about this!
Not just 'nighty-night,' but:
Ni'night, Mommy.
Ni'night, Tah'na.
Ni'night, Daddy.
Ni'night, Eh'tan.
What are we having for dessert? Not just 'cake,' not just 'chocolate,' but:
Chocolate cake!
Not just 'hello,' but:
Hello, Ju-ju! (Julia is a dear friend of ours who is over our house frequently.)
We don't have to tell him when to say goodbye now. He says goodbye whenever he's done having a conversation now! (OOOH, social cues!!! *giddy*) Instead of just wandering away when he loses interest in what we're doing, he pauses, looks at me, and says, "Bye-bye!" Then he gives me a little wave and off he goes.
Language HAPPENS!

Hi...
I really thought I was going to homeschool Ian...
We took him into Register and to sign up for Kindergarten Testing; and he did fine...
He has now been in Speech Therapy class two days a week now for three years... I call it what it is, Jason his older brother was concerned and wanted to call it by another name. But I told Ian that if he was going to be upset about it, to get over it now. That was three years ago! :-)) That this is going to help him! I have taken a back seat in helping him in that area because it seemed he wanted to please me a little too much, So I have left it to Mrs. "K"; Short for Kirshgrashner; can you believe that! I have told him that when he says a word a certian way with over pronouncing the "i", I do tell him that is not how everyone else says it, He will really pronounce the "er" sound in Bird. It sounds funnier in person!
So I just had a lesson recently in trusting in GOD, Not that you don't, just that we get all caught up in the minute by minute situation and Language Happens and what were we all worried about! Just like Ian and the thought of Home Schooling, There is no way! But NOW! These Middle School teachers here are a piece of work, I know Jason had them! What am I going to do? Ok GOD, I'll wait...... *GIGGLE!*
LOVE MOI***
