A Little Silly...

Well, hello! I thought since I haven't really talked about anything lately that I would just write a little something. I hope you have all been enjoying the Song Challenge as much as I have. Some days are definitely harder than others, but I am loving reliving some of these moments as I shuffle through this thick skull of mine to find that just-right song. I am looking forward to the days to come!

But for now we shall stay in the present. I am sitting on the couch watching me some American Idol while Papa Shu is out in the windy box fighting some SEALs tonight. He is not a fan so much of the show. (By the way, if you were watching last night's episode from Savannah, GA, I would just like to say... I have been exactly where they were. That is all.) Therefore, this is how I prefer to spend my "me" time. A little too in-the-now, though, huh?

How about this morning? Want to hear about Alexander's appointment? Okay. Well, simply put, it went great! This was the best one he has had yet. He sat still and was engaging the therapist the entire hour. She is so impressed at how smart he is. With his signing, she could tell that his cognitive (higher thought processes) skills are there; he just can't express with words what he wants/needs. He has also been picking up new words here and there. Any signs we teach him, he at least attempts them. Most of them he has already picked up and can sign without being shown if asked to "say" them. Tonight was also his first night without his pacifier! I heard him playing in his crib for a little while, but he didn't cry at all! I am sure tomorrow will be rougher. Hopefully, he will forget about it soon enough. Either way, we are proud of him and can't believe how fast he is growing up! He has his doctor appointment tomorrow, and we will be discussing his hearing test, speech pathology exam, and crooked legs. Stay tuned for updates on all that!
