Evaluation Day

Well we finally had Treyton's speech and overall evaluation today. He is pretty much right on with all of his development except speech. He does have about a 40% delay putting him at a developmental age of 14ish months for his speech. So we are going to be doing speech therapy once a week for an hour at a time in our home. It was so fun watching him interact with the ladies doing the evaluations. It normally takes him a little bit to warm up to any one new. Today he was pretty much instantly drawn to what they were doing. He did most everything they were asking him to do. He is still very stubborn and if he doesn't think it's fun or interesting he isn't going to do it. Talking over the evaluations and what the ladies saw and thought about each thing was amazing. They really got a true read on Treyton today. He played just like he would have if it were just us. Our 6 month goals will be for Treyton to be making more letter sounds and word approximations, which would be like saying tup for cup. We are very confident that he will meet these goals and surpass them.

Wonderful Gift

God knew exactly what He was doing when He had me move to Springfield, MO. I am extremely thankful for the kid that wouldn't stop talking to me while I tried to watch a Colts football game and that never gave up on me even when I turned him down. My life would be completely different had God not placed Tony in my life. I am so thankful for such a loving and supportive husband. He has overcome many things in his life and I am so glad he did! He is a wonderful father to our kiddos. Watching him love them and take care of them makes me love him so much more then I ever thought I could. He works so hard to provide for us. He is teaching me to never give up on dreams because they can and do come true and long as you work toward making them happen. He is showing our kids how to have a passion for something and to go after that passion. That man knows how to make me madder then any other person. He also knows how to make me laugh and smile more then any other person. What a wonderful gift God gave me when He gave me Tony.
