Update-ish
I forgot in my last update post that the little lady had four teeth, but since then she has popped out four more. She can also sign more, milk, and all done. She still says uh-oh as well. And since her big brother and cousin are such good teachers she also roars as fiercely as the mighty T-Rex. woo hoo (lower case on purpose)
The big man's teach, Miss M, says he is already making progress. He has only had three days of school. I have been trying to work with him at home alot though. Now, that I know how to help it is much easier.
I also left my personal stuff for later on purpose. Mainly because I have no idea who I am anymore. I thought I was getting a glimmer of me for a little while, but then the mask came back up. The cynicism is back. The sarcasm, it runs rampant. What is this cycle? Why can I not be real all the time, with everyone. Oh, I am honest and all that, I just feel like I am trying to do way too much image management. I just want to be me, but right now I am not certain which facet is true.
PPD
From my favorite blog:
a really good description of becoming a mommy. Rather like she crawled into my head and been poking around a bit too much.
Life right now...
Almost a month since my last post and what a month it has been.
We finally had a meeting yesterday with the speech therapist to decide whether or not the man would qualify for speech therapy. (
This post may refresh your memory as to why we are doing that. It is toward the end of it.) He had his first day of school today! Well, it isn't
really school, but he goes to a school for a half an hour and will every Tuesday and Thursday for a year. Yay! When I remember to re-read the paper work I can give more detail on exactly what they are doing.
The little lady walks with great proficiency now. She just up and started two weeks ago and nothing holds her back now. Well, other than her current inability to stand up without pulling up on something. It seemed like she just suddenly found her balance. Like she would stand there playing with something with out holding onto anything but the moment she realised someone knew her secret she sat down. Like the man went through a long time of standing up walking three steps and falling down and repeating the process over and over. But the little lady was nothing like that. She turns, stops and even dances with the grace of a swan on a lake. Well, I exaggerate small bit. But she is really good already.
As for me...
