Jamie had a follow up visit to the speech pathologist this morning, for a re-assessment. And the verdict? Pretty much age appropriate. Isn't that wonderful news?
We have only to work on the "s" sound now. (It tends to sound a little bit like "sh".)
And we don't have to go back until next year, when we will have another assessment to check that his new sounds are coming on line as they should be as he develops.
I am so proud of my boy, for all the hard work he has put in. He is such a clever chicken!
And, while I'm talking about age appropriate....
Yesterday we had a friend over for lunch. She bought some muffins with her. Mmmm muffins! Big muffins. The sort that you have to cut in half, and save the other half for later. Or share it. Which is what we had planned. Only Jamie had other ideas. When I cut ours in half and offered him half, he complained. He wanted the whole thing. I explained that we were all having half - because the muffins were so big. We were SHARING. But, no. He did not want to share. His solution? "Jamie will have muffin for snack, and mummy can have sultanas and apricots".
Is that kid clever or what? Sultanas and apricots is our usual afternoon snack ;)

thats awesome news with jamie's speech............ connor is 4 and a fair bit behind for his age, he still has speech therapy and goes to a special education unit..... and lol @ jamie with the muffin incident at lunch,
You get such a great sense of Jamie's personality with the muffin story. children are so funny and they don't even realise it! - Oh, and as for the 's' sounding like 'sh', it hasn't done Sean Connery any harm! Debbie ;-) xox
I got to know did he get the whole muffin or half? lol
Great news about the speech.
thats fantastic news - well done Jamie!
Hope you are feeling better and all is going well.

That's fantastic news Kathie, yay for Jamie. It must be a huge relief. My Lucy still struggles with the s words but she says sop instead of "shop" sometimes she sounds as if she has a lisp but its still ahuge improvement to how she used to talk. At least us mummies know what our kids are saying lol. Belinda
