Oh my. It's been too long. I am going to start posting here again regularly.
Preston is now 3 years and 8 months old. Hard to believe he is almost 4 years old.
He is making a lot of progress with words. He has lots and lots. He is also putting small sentences together. A lot of the time, we have to coach him to put the words together. We are asking him to give a little more when he asks/whines for things. He IS pointing now. He points to the sky and says "airplane"! He says "I want apple". Sadly, he is on to our tricks and the tricks of the speech path at school. He doesn't like to "work". He started school in March. Love his Sped teacher. He is in a school through our school district. There are 10 kids in the class room. 5 with special needs, and 5 that are model students. At our first Parent Teacher conference, we learned that the teachers LOVE our boy (and why wouldn't they? LOL) While he is progressing, he is not progressing at the speed that they would like to see. We have lots of work to do.
He is a fun little boy. He LOVES his big brother. Anything Cooper does, Preston wants to do-however, talking isn't one of those things! He seems to struggle with comprehension. He doesn't understand "If than.......this......" statements. Makes it difficult to bribe him!
At any rate, it looks to be a long road ahead but we're up for the challenge. I'm making this blog a priority so I can track his progress better. He is such a joy to all of us. He goes ninety to nothing all of the time. He is SO interested in things. SOOO busy and into things. He is starting to listen and understand some "reasoning". He understands he has to hold my hand when we cross the street instead of darting across the street (most of the time). We recently ruled out the genetic anomolies that the Child Psych asked us to do. The genetic testing were simple blood draws thankfully!
More next week!
