No More SPEECH!!!


K has been exited from Speech!! Three years later and K is doing amazing. I am so Happy! We were so worried about the decision to have him enter the bilingual school that his older brother attended. Often, when children have speech and language issues they do not get recommended for this foreign language program. We decided to send him and he has exceeded our expectations. His reading is way above level and I know that his speech challenges are part of the reason he has done so well. This may sound strange, but I think because he has had to work so hard and spend so much time sounding out his letters and improving the way he communicates, it has made him love language. He loves to spend time writing words in little notebooks and reading new books. I also feel grateful to have great speech programs in our area, that are free, available to us. All of this being said.....I am glad this challenge is through for now! It is always nice to see the reward at the end of a long road of hard work. I am so proud of our little guy...We think he is amazing!

This is thrilling. I remember years ago when you were trying to arrange speech, babysitters, etc. Congrats to Kyle! We are just starting out on our speech road...

Another mile stone. I agree with you, sometimes the bumps or hills or mountains that get in our way, become the peeks we are able to view everything else. It seems K has overcome this challenge. Congratulations!
ps I like the picture of you in Waterton. :)
