grannys gone and done it

Well, finally caught up, and it looks like I'm mostly alone, although Kathy just posted, but by the time I finish my mega-multi post, she'll probably be off too.

My older son had speech starting at age 3. He talked a lot, huge vocabulary, but no one could understand him except me. They said he had low tone in the muscles around his mouth. He graduated out of speech class by 3rd grade and today you would never know! It's a lot of work, but they try to make it fun and games.

He talks NONSTOP. Hilarious observations. He keeps me on my toes, which is why my feet always hurt so bad.

But he doesn't say any consonants. If he were to say "big boy cup" it would come out "geh boe cuh." He gets sounds backwards and skips some altogether. No y, r, or f sounds. He's VERY good at saying "I told you not to do that!" I guess because he hears it so much.

DD was speaking in clear sentences before she could walk (FINALLY took her first step at 18 mos) so this has been frustrating for me.

And they did check his hearing, right?

Well on this the day of my three thousandth post

I shall bid you all good night sweet dreams warm fuzzies and prayers for all in need.

Will try to get on before going to the farm in the morning.

Wait, didn't you just celebrate your momentous 2000th post? Seems like only yesterday!
You must be a fast typist.

Camp, When my son was small, he didn't talk right because he had hearing problems. He was a twin, so I had his sister to compare him to.

It was from allergies and he didn't sneeze he just had his ears plug up. Years of shots and a truckload of medicine and he's fine. He still has moderate hearing loss but you probably wouldn't notice.

He's 28 now and I wish he would just shut up. Lol

Kathy is a wealth of knowledge.

Got a letter today that they've finally scheduled an appt for DS to evaluate his speech. For a year I've said he needed intervention and instead of help I always heard "he'll grow out of it" or "he'll fix it himself when he starts school" or that DD was doing all his talking for him (not true), and on and on. Now when people ask how old he is and I say "almost 4" they just get quiet and change the subject.


It's so bad. Heartbreaking. So hopefully we can get on a path to improvement. He's such a bright funny kid, I don't want him to be self-conscious in school. He's a wildman and a terror, but I don't ever want anything to slow him down.

Kathy is the most helpful person when it comes to ailing chickens! She has also helped with my cats! 

she surly knows her stuff. I don't know if she kbows this but I've read a lot of her comments and learned a lot from them. Now this crs doesn't help with it much but I still learn for a little while anyways lol.

Thanks y'all. He hasn't had his hearing tested, but at his last checkup I talked with the pedi about speech and he checked DS ears and didn't see a problem there. We whisper a lot, and he always heard and understands. Not saying that's conclusive, but I would be surprised if his hearing was severely impaired. We have a friend who's speech path and she gave him a listen several months back. She said he's missing entire groupings of sounds, but she was very positive about it. She said that it's sometimes easier to learn the group instead of trying to isolate the one sound you are missing.

My biggest worry now is that he'll clam up. He likes to pretend to be shy. And I'm so used to translating for him, it's going to be really hard to sit quietly. Maybe I'll go for a walk. :/

I can't believe I missed the Kathy parade! I want to sing her praises! It's because of Kathy that I was able to get up my nerve to crop feed a pullet last year. Kathy helped me when my whole flock was so sick with fowl pox, and I didn't lose a single one.

Y'all stayed up too late and now I'm talking to myself. That's alright, though.

Red and granny, y'all hurting bad this morning? Tippy and jane, getting dried out?

I had a stress dream last night. It was 6 am and someone knocked on the door. I hid behind the fireplace because I wasn't wearing pants. The kids opened the door and people started coming in, about 30 people I haven't seen in 5-10 years. My house was just as dirty as it is now and I was horrified. And there was no door on my bedroom. So, I guess I need to clean today.

Camping he may not have hearing loss but several years ago I found out my hearing was terrible. During the test they had a speaker in front of me and it would say words and I was supposed to repeat what I heard . That was a laugh in itself. After I was done and the doctor was able to stop laughing at some of the words that I said I thought I heard, (thought that stupid speaker was cussing me out) he told me that he knew from the begging that my hearing was terrible because I was trying to read the speakers lips (ship up twist ). I never realized that I did this. He turned his back to me and told me to repeat what he said. I couldn't do it. He then turned faces me and repeated the same thing only lowered his voice. I repeated everything right and then realized that I was reading his lips. My mom was with me and I asked her if he spoke louder when he was facing me. She said that she couldn't even make it out we he was facing us but he was very loud with his back turned. At that point I knew I couldn't hear. Maybe he's reading lips?

That would be impressive. I guess we'll find out Friday.
