We had our First Steps meeting tonight and it went GREAT! Luke will start receiving weekly speech services! Sooo excited. He will be seen every other week here at home and every other week at daycare. His other services - PT weekly/OT every other week - will stay the same. Our team was great and they made it very easy...so I was nervous about nothing!! Whew!
He did decide - as I was trying to make my case for speech services and show them how very delayed he was - to say 'outside' for the first time. Ever!! He was standing at the back door trying to open it because Ben was outside with the babysitter and he desperately wanted to be out there, too, instead of inside with all of these boring women who were staring at him. He said it pretty clearly. While I was excited to hear him say it, it wasn't really the best timing when his mom was trying to get him speech/language services!!!
I'm really glad we're going to be getting help in this area. I will be beyond ecstatic when he finally looks at me and says 'mama'!!! It's got to be coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MUCH LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So awesome! And what great expressing his needs! Sure, it could have been better timed :-), but how fun!
