Our little boy turned 2 1/2 yesterday! We celebrated by seeing Thomas the Train in Snoqualmie Saturday and going swimming Sunday. I can't believe it's here. I've been so busy worrying about him for the last 6 months, and all of a sudden, time passed. His apraxia is getting better and better. He loves to talk now, sing Thomas songs at the top of his lungs, and always says, "Good Job, Kaylin" any time she does something. He's still pretty unintelligible, but the amount of words he can say is increasing rapidly and his behavior is more reasonable. I meet with the kids' montessori tomorrow to talk about ways to support him and I just pray that he's going to be a good fit there. Time will tell. Some days are hard, but overall, we are feeling really good about his progress and know that because he started speech therapy so young, every sign points to him being fine in the future. If we see HUGE progress in just two short months, I can only imagine what this year will bring. He continues to ADORE his Thomas Train collection, loves having them have conversations and run them all over the house. By the way, it really hurts to step on a train. Tomorrow will be two weeks since we took away all the pacis. His sleep is still rough and Kaylin is still sleeping in our room until Luke can figure out how to quietly put himself back to sleep. =) It's been an adventure, but every day is better and I have confidence that this too shall pass. At least that's what they say. =) He and his sister are really liking playing with each other, dancing around and tackling each other. I love this little boy of mine. He brings us so many laughs and hugs and big wet kisses. Continue to pray that he makes progress and most importantly, that he is always knows how wonderful, unique and perfect he is!
