This morning I opened a message that was just what I needed! Two years ago, I felt like this mom, and I'm so grateful other moms reached out to me. I am thankful that God can use a speech disorder and MY boy to connect us with other families & provide a sense of hope! Here is a little of what this mom said to me:
Hi Melissa,
I saw you post in the Apraxia group that you take your son to A****** (the clinic). I think we see you there! Meg has speech Tuesdays at 10:30. She loves seeing your little guy crawling around while we wait for her therapist! And I LOVE hearing your son talk when he comes out when he's done. It gives me a bit of an idea about where things are going for us. Both your boys are precious. I'll introduce myself next week.

Buddies in the Water
J and his friend had FUN in the pool together yesterday! K and L stayed in our lap. They don't like grass...they're made for each other! ;)
Luke's 1st Swing on the Playground
Jackson has been begging us to let "Luke swing" with us at the playground. We gave it a try this week!
Water Fun
Here is how Luke felt about standing in the grass playing with the water table.
Here is how he felt about being in my lap!
Growing Up Together!
These boys are sooo funny and cute together! As soon as J wakes up, he is ready to get L up or play with him if he is already awake. L simply adores his big brother and tries to climb all over him, play chase (crawl style), and laughs at about anything he does. J wants L included in everything! If he isn't in the car with me, he wants to know where he is. He asks for him to go with us to even doctor's appointments! Last night, we went to say our blessing before dinner. We always hold hands, but our L doesn't want us to hold his hand. He is too young to really understand why we are holding his hands in this way, so we just sorta touch his highchair. Well, this particular night, J really wanted L to be a part of our blessing, which we thought was incredibly sweet! We did our best to include him!
Jackson does a pretty good job of sharing and is only mildly aggressive with him :), meaning the most he will do is try to remove Luke's hand from something. This morning I saw him not really sharing like he should with Luke, but he didn't see me. Well, he did let him hold one toy man, but I still called him out on it. He quickly tried to move the toy closer to Luke to make it apprear like it was just going back and forth. Hmm, then he gave me a sweet smile, and I didn't return the smile. Finally, he came over and hugged me. Sneaky little guy! We still talked about sharing and being nice to our little brother! That's ok, L fully has payback when J has friends over. Yesterday, he interrupted a game of Hungry, Hungry Hippos and air hockey. He pushes his way through or throws toys into the game!
