I'm glad to report that Sweety is attempting imitation of speech quite a bit lately! (That's a pretty big deal for apraxic kids) He's using a few more words these days, including please, yes, sleep, eat, peas, bye, and pink pig. Woo-hoo! Prior to this month, his vocabulary of spoken words included only mama, more, baby, and daddy (unfortunately he's not using the /d/ sound right now, so 'daddy' has gone missing) Here's hoping we find 'daddy' again soon. ;)
In other news: I wish I was brilliant enough to record and post Smarty singing and dancing to "Shake Your Tail Feathers" by the Cheetah Girls. (It plays during the credits of Disney's Chicken Little) Smarty bends his knees, sticks his bum out, looks over his shoulder and does this little side-ways slide while singing over and over, "shake it, shake it, bay-buh!" It's hilarious! Definately a pay-day for me!

- Ben and I met in Sophomore English class. We were good friends throughout high school, but didn't really start dating until Senior Prom, one week before graduation. After a magic weekend I was still on the fence about him, but Ben did some hard and fast talking, and I caved. We spent every minute of a beautiful, whirl-wind summer together, then I went to Idaho to school, and he went to Brazil on a mission. A few months after his arrival home, it was my turn to talk hard and fast, and I eventually wore him down. We hung on through some ups and downs, and in May '02 we were married in the Logan temple. In Nov. '04 we had our first beautiful boy, and in June '07 we had our second beautiful boy. It's amazing how motherhood has changed my perspective, but I am happy to report that these are the best days of my life.

Yeah for Sweety! And I just might steal Smarty's dance moves! I love when kids dance! Shake it Smarty!
Yay Sweety!! I am proud of you and your mom and dad!
I so want to see that! Maybe we will have to have a family performance night.
Oh, I want to see that too. It sounds too adorable, and anything he does is so precious. It's amazing to see the boys personalities blossoming. You are an awesome mom!
yay for you Sweety!!!
Hey, count me in on Smarty's dance, I want to see it too. Love to hear of the success you are having teaching Sweety to talk.
Sorry to learn you haven't been feeling well. Does the stormy weather affect you as much as it does me. My arthritic joints flare up and it gets hard to get around. Thankfully it isn't all the time. Love, Grandma Moody
Hi there,
I found your blog through a comment you left on another apraxic mom's blog...5 kids and a dog.
My daughter is 28 months and recently diagnosed with dyspraxia. Feel free to visit our blog at derekannette.blogspot.com.
I will be checking in more later, but wanted to say hi.
