Well it is official - I have finally completed all of the requirements for my Post-Diploma BScN! To say that it feels fantastic would be a huge understatement. My children will finally have their mom - no homework - for a while anyway :) I have told myself, my friends, my family, and my boss that I will not consider taking any courses for at least 2 years. I need a break.
Yesterday we took Mady for a follow-up appointment at KidsAbility to reassess her speech. The SLP asked how concerned we were with her speech, Norb responded 'minimally', and I responded 4/10. Well - Mady has made tremendous progress since her last group therapy speech class - she now reached the developmental milestone expected for a child her age. YEAH!!! We are thrilled - we have decided that Mady will still attend 4 private sessions to ensure that we are on the right track and continue encouraging her appropriately.
Emily is busy growing...we can always tell when a growth spurt is upon us because her appetite increases and her need for sleep goes up as well. Last night she ate one piece of oven baked sole, 1/2 of my chicken breast, rice, peas, and an ice cream cone. That was at 6 pm, and by 8 pm she was looking for her bedtime snack and decided that she would eat the other chicken breast leftover from dinner. I think that we should start practicing basketball - at this rate Em will be 6' before her 13th birthday :)
