Ok, so I finally did it. This is the first, maybe the last, but its definitely a blog entry.
Kids are sleeping, fiber is steaming away and I finally have some time to myself.
First of all, I want this to be a place where I can just blab about family issues, mainly dealing with my little big-mouth and this ordeal of getting him to talk. I think its more an ordeal for me than anyone else because of my tendency to be overly dramatic and fatalistic about things. I'm always worried that if I don't do exactly the right thing then I'm going to screw him up somehow. Not that I don't worry about messing up the other two, but it seems different somehow with this one.
My least favorite thing to do is trying to figure out how to get our health insurance to pay for Little Man's speech therapy. Now, I understand that speech delays are covered under IDEA and those services are provided by the schools, but even though he has made progress since his initial IEP in February 2010, it seems like he should be getting further. It doesn't help that everything I've read about apraxia indicates at least three one-on-one sessions with an SLP (speech language pathologist) are required every week to make progress. We love his teacher, but as good as she is, she is not an SLP and the schools have different standards.
That's it for today. Maybe I'll have something more to say tomorrow, maybe not. Goodnight blog, I'll most likely kill you in the morning.
