Nathan has really been improving on his speech lately. I mean..he's forming more sentences. Saying what he thinks or feels....IN A COMPLETE SENTENCE. It used to be random, and not very often. But its more often now. It started about a week or two ago I think. He says things like, "No, that's not what I'm talking about." And then he will proceed to "explain" himself!!!! Tyler got upset one day, and Nathan calmly said, "Now, now Tyler, calm down.....its ok." He's been answering my questions more with ACTUAL ANSWERS. And we are experiencing more give and take conversations.
I went in and talked to his speech therapist, and she said that she has also noticed some improvement lately too. We talked for a bit, and she made a comment about how maybe having dad out of the house......had something to do with this burst of talking. The boys are always watching themselves around their dad, making sure he doesn't get mad, or that they do something wrong. They really don't like his temper anymore than I do!!!! LOL
I had not thought of that, till she mentioned it. But now it makes me wonder. The boys are so comfortable around the house these days. Its so nice to see them relaxed.
Either way, I'm just glad we are getting a burst in his speech!! YAY!

Michelle, if that was what it was going to take, you'd have done it a while ago, eh?
yeah michelle. That is fantastic! Glad to hear it!
I guess you made the right decision then didn't you.
