Little Man speech evaluation and some other stuff.
This afternoon Little Man had his speech evaluation done. If you remember I talked about his trouble HERE. The results are that in reception and understanding he is at his age level which is now 2 1/2 years old. (turned 2 1/2 yesterday) But his vocal communication is between 18 and 20 months age range.. I knew he wasn't where I thought he should be.. but in the last 6 months he has came a very very long way.. but due to him being almost a year behind where he should be we are going to try to do the speech therapy to get him ahead faster. This way if I put him into preschool in the fall he won't be behind and struggling. After going over his developmental and medical history they tell me they are 99.9% sure that this developmental delay was caused by his traumatic birth and the lack of oxygen he was able to get during that time. If you missed that story you can read it HERE. They were a little surprised he didn't have any other developmental delays other then his speech, Praise the Lord for that. Since he has started talking now and he is coming along with it now, they tell me he will be fine. He will learn to communicate like the rest of us but it will just take him longer to pick up and he would be a year behind his age. So the hope is with the speech he will get caught up to age level quicker and I could put him into preschool then in the fall if all goes well. Now I just need to check with my insurance to see if they will cover this or not.. I'm hoping since the problem was a medical reason why this is happening that it will be covered.. If Not we will just have to figure something out because I really want him to have this help to get to where he should be. He will start the week after Thanksgiving and go once a week until he is up to age level.
Mr Man had a good birthday today.. took treats to school and had a good old time. When he got to school he found this in his mail box from one of the girls in his class.. isn't it cute..
Well good night all.

Yippeee!!! WTG on the poo in the potty! Only moms would get excited about something like this, lol.
Good stuff about the speech therapy. I agree, if that's the worst that come out of his traumatic birth then he'll be just fine.
Happy birthday to Mr. Man!
rejoice!
I am happy your little man is going potty in the potty. I remember how thrilled I was when my Wee One finally became 'housebroke'.
Yippee for Little Man! I am working on potty training the Knight too! He goes potty but will not poop!
Just read your birth story for Little Man - wow! I have heard that gall stones are as painful as childbirth. Horrible that you had both at one time! Yikes!
We took Bailey for speech eval at 20 months. He was 8 months delayed. Two weeks later he started speaking in complete sentences. It was so odd.
I deal with a lot of therapists due to Izzy's injury and I love them. I pray that you have a wonderful therapist to work with and that you are blessed by him/her. I know she/he will be blessed by you and little man.
Obviously, I'm more than sympathetic to the trials of a speech delay, but you're so on the ball and so early at the intervention that I'm confident that catch up is just around the corner.
Best wishes
Happy Birthday to Mr. Man!!! I'm sure the speech therapy will help get things on track quickly.
