We got a couple days of snow this winter. The boys had a great time. We didn't get a chance to make a snow man though, it melted too quickly. I couldn't believe they canceled all the schools here for one inch of snow (and it was melted by noon!). We even had a couple days of cold weather (20 deg or less). It reminded me of back home, I forgot just how cold it gets in WI.
Bryson started seeing a speech therapist in Jan. He has had three visits so far and it has been very helpful. The therapist feels he has normal expressive and receptive speech, but he has social problems and needs to develop better play skills. We have been working on improving his eye contact during conversation and play as well as expanding his play skills with more pretend-type play (see pictures with the costumes). He initially made excellent progress and was even playing better and participating more at daycare. However, he's had a set back over the last couple weeks and is having more problems. He's been slowly gettin better the last few days and has even gone poop on the potty about 5 times now. Anyway, I am taking him to an occupational therapist tomorrow to be evaluated for sensory problems. He has also started a gymnastics class, he really enjoys it, but has difficulty following directions and staying with the class. He had to change classes so I could be there with him to help with his behavior. Today was his first day in the new class and his friend Jackson was there too. He had a great time!
Kyle is doing great, but he's really starting to test his boundaries and can be quite sassy. He loves to play with cars and enjoys playing outside. He is talking quite a bit and can put three words together. Overall, he is hard to understand, but when you figure out what he is saying, it's great. He loves the water and doesn't seem to have any fear. Last time when we took him swimming he wanted me to let go of him, even in the deep water. In the bath tub he's been laying down in the water on his back even!
I'm putting some new videos up too, so check it out!
