We fired Jesse's home therapist this past week. While it really sucks, in a way, it was a huge relief in another. Since May, we've put up with multiple lates and sick days, coffee being continuously spilled on our carpets, schedule changes to accommodate her, and a decreasing level of patience on her part. The straw that broke the camels back, however, was her posting about Jesse (using his name even) on her Facebook page. (Not to mention that it was post DURING his therapy session that day.
So, we're going to try without therapy for a few months. We're going to do playdates and playgroups and biweekly speech therapy. We may enroll in toddler Mother Goose or some other more structured activities. Jesse's language has come so far these past few months that it's now within the normal range for a child his age. So we're going to focus more on play and socialization, which he's been really missing out on, in my opinion.
Other big news is that Jesse's is starting to seem ready for potty learning! In the past couple of days Jesse has requested to use the potty to pee and he pooped on the potty without any suggestion from me or his father. This is so exciting, because I would *love* for him to be out of diapers before the next kiddo arrives. Which is the other big change we're expecting. "Trouble" is due to arrive some time in March.
I guess that's all for now.
