 August 7th, 2010I had a dream last night that Nick was talking. He said,”Hi, there,” plus a few other words. I’m hopeful that dream comes true soon. I’m waiting for the day I hear him say, “Mama”. We met with the school district last week, since they will be taking over for the Regional Center once Nick turns [...]
July 25th, 2010We’ve made a little progress with Nick, but it’s slow going. I was hoping he’d be saying a word or two by now, but nothing yet. Nick uses the sign for “more” every day now, but he still doesn’t understand that just because he gives me the sign doesn’t automatically mean he’s going to get [...]
July 4th, 2010It’s been a couple of weeks into Nick’s speech therapy and we’re starting to see a little progress. The speech therapist is focusing on one concept at a time.

September 12th, 2009We had a day of success yesterday! A dry pull up ALL DAY LONG!!!! I was so energized by that that I decided to brave the waters and let Chase wear his “big boy’s” underwear all day today. So far, so good. (Wait — where’s a piece of wood for me to knock on?) The sticker [...]
September 2nd, 2009You know that well-known cereal that all kids love? The one that is so easily recognized by its simple circular design? The one that is made of oats and a perfect finger food for young children? Yes, that cereal — Cheerios? Well, apparently they did something to offend Nick, because he has gone on a [...]  Tags: children, daily life, food, |  Category → Child Behavior, Daily Antics, It drives me crazy when ... |  5 comments | 
August 24th, 2009I was recently asked when would be a good time to start potty training a child. Depending on who you ask, it could be anywhere between 18 to 24 months or later, but the truth is each child is different, so it’s better to check whether or not your child is exhibiting signs of readiness. Cues that your child [...]
