Fun, Music and Speech

Lots of playtime and sibling fighting lately. Grant and Sloan both want what the other has no matter what it is. Sloan has finally grown out of her 18 month pajamas so I bought her some that are 24 months. Grant was upset that he didn't get new pajamas too. He actually needs some new ones too but I haven't had time to find them yet. He is now in a 5T and wears size 10 shoes. He seems to have hit a growth spurt lately. His legs have gotten much longer. Meanwhile, Sloan has really short legs but a longer torso.

While Sloan is saying 3 syllable words like "banana" as clear as can be, Grant's speech is still not super clear. I took him to the ENT to get a full hearing evaluation and to have his tonsils looked at. He passed every test and can actually hear better than the average child his age. His tonsils looked normal too. Next stop was a speech pathologist. He did a few tests for them and he is considered to have "mild" speech issues for his age. We are waiting to see if insurance will cover him seeing the same speech lady at the hospital or if we will need to get someone else and pay out of pocket. She told us that it shouldn't take more than 6 months to get him pronouncing words clearly. To be continued...

Grant and Sloan both have always loved music. We went to a local pizza joint and there was a band setting up for later that night. The opening act guy got up on stage and offered to play some kids songs. There were a couple of other kids along with ours that got to enjoy the fun!

Sloan and the frogs!
