I decided to do something insane. Feeling completely over taken by toys I decided it was time to sort through them, scale down and re-organize. 4 days later I’m done. I didn’t do it to the extent that I wanted to but it’s done. Have you ever tried to sort toys with a two preschoolers and two infants? It would have been much more fun to put my hand in a waffle iron for four days. All momentary break downs aside I’m sitting in a toy free living room. Was it worth it…OH YEAH!

We got some good news yesterday…Lennox may not have Verbal Apraxia after all. He had a speech evaluation at a private speech therapy center, and they had a different diagnosis. Speech disfluency and stuttering, two things that are very fixable. No neurological disorder, no motor planning issues. I am hopeful but weary to be too much so. He starts with a new speech pathologist on Monday and I’m going to ask that she not go by our old IEP, I want her to evaluate him as well. I hope that she agrees with the private center and not his old speech therapist, and that she doesn’t come up with something completely different. If that happens I think I’ll cry. I’m just hoping with this opportunity to have him evaluated three different times that we’ll have a consistent diagnosis.
