Getting Ready For Speech Therapy

This Friday Dylan goes to speech therapy for the first time. Once there he'll be evaluated for an hour and a half. I don't know what they're going to do for that time, he honestly says maybe 4 words. And most of the times its "Mama" and "Eat" that sounds like "eeeeeeeeeee" I'm really curious about what they're going to say and what they're going to try.

I really hope they find something that sparks some sort of interest in him. Every time I try to teach him something he just smiles and runs away. But its honestly getting to the point where something NEEDS to be done.
My sweet sweet boy wants to talk! I know it! I can see it in his face. His new thing is pointing. He points. And screams. And points. *sigh* So many things have been running through my head. 'Maybe he can't hear well' 'Maybe since he was a little slow with all his other developments this will be just like that' 'Maybe there's something that's really wrong'

I've been told not to compare my children. I've been told that everyone is different. Every child does things in their own time. But at this point I can't help it. I sit and watch old home videos of Aidan and am just blown away by the difference in the two.


I'm glad we're starting the speech therapy now. That this is becoming an issue so early. He just turned a year and a half this July. Maybe since we're starting now he'll be able to catch up soon. He's a smart little boy. He understands a lot. He's just having a hard time saying it.

A New Look!

(And I love it!!! Haha I wont say any more about it)

Family is doing great. Aidan just turned 4!

We had a batman pool party for him :)

With great friends!

And a batman mask...


That was on for a total for 10 seconds :P

It was a perfect day to be out by the pool.

And to eat great cake!

And to sing Happy Birthday twice because they started without your Mommy there.

Happy Birthday little boy! We love you!!! :)

"Can we go now?!!?!!?"

I've had soda and I've had coffee and I still can't keep my eyes open. Sleeeep pleaseeeeeeeee!

Right now I'm taking myself and the kids over to my parents to help get the house ready for Aidan's birthday party tomorrow. Pool party!!!

Aidan's 4 years old now! I'd say the time just flies by, but honestly it feels like we've been a family for longer then that :) Its amazing having a family and I love being a mommy and wife.

Here's a picture of Aidan with his birthday present. He LOVES it! And Dylan loves when he gets to ride with his brother lol


I want to get around to posting more soon and adding a few pictures. It's been almost 2 months since the last post haha What happened to my plan of writing at least once a week?



Look at that smile :) Well I better stop writing and get the kids ready to leave. Aidan heard that there's going to be pizza for dinner at his grandparents house and he wants to go! "Mommy can we please leave NOW?!"

Clean up! Clean up!


Charles and I just can't get Aidan to clean up his toys. He'll clean for maybe 2 minutes and then we turn around and he's just playing with them again. We really want him to be able to clean up all of his mess on his own. Today I tried something new. I put up the baby gates with me and Dylan in the messy room and told Aidan he wasnt allowed in the room with us. If he didn't clean the room, he couldn't be in the room. He didn't like that much. He kept just looking in at us and trying to talk to us but we ignored him. Finally he told me "Mommy I'll clean! I'll clean the room up!" So I let him in. He started cleaning right away..for about 2 minutes again and then started playing! Ugh! I hate to think of starting to take toys away since Charles and I... and lots of family... paid good money for all these toys that they have. I want them to be used and not just put away in the garage. But really... do I have much of a choice anymore?


Oh and lets not forget Aidan's birthday is coming up in July. More toys.

P.S. Family and friends: Outdoor toys would be perfect birthday gifts! :P

Just one of those nights

Feeling very blah tonight. I know I should just go to bed and hope for a better tomorrow... but just feeling too blah to sleep. *Sigh* Whats wrong with me? Whats wrong with my little family? For the past two days my husband has been feeling very very down. Dylan was screaming all night. Aidan, well... Aidan's just fine. Tho he might be a little bored and probably wondering why everyone else in his family seems to be a little crazy lately.

Look at my beautiful niece :D Can't believe she's almost 10 now....


P.S. I think I might start writing again.
