Tyke Talk

Ronan had his appointment at Tyke Talk today. Other than his speech, he is right in track developmentally, even ahead in some areas! Unfortunately, there is a 6-8 month wait time for a therapist, so we are at a bit of a standstill. The woman we saw today said that it was great that he was in preschool and that in the meantime, we should work with him in different ways to encourage him to talk. Things like giving him choices and playing games where he has to speak. Luckily, he doesn't get frustrated when he can't get his point across so he doesn't have tantrums that often.

In other news, Keegan is getting so big! Him and Ronan are playing so well together and he just loves his big brother.

Preschool

My big boy started preschool today. When I dropped him off, he said bye, gave me a kiss, and ran over to the train table without even looking back. When I picked him up, he was sitting in a circle with the class singing a song. He looked at me and smiled, then went back to his song. All in all, he had a good first day.

After we drop him off on Thursday, I'm going to take Keegan to story time at the library. When Ronan was a baby, we went every week, but I haven't taken Keegan before. It should be fun and it works out nicely that it starts right after school starts.

Tomorrow we are going shopping in the states with Vallerye. I'm almost done my Christmas shopping so I (probably) won't be buying much!
