When it gets tough with kid issues, I have had dear friends remind me that Heavenly Father sent these children to you because you can do for them what no one else could!

It is just like walking, they all learn to do it eventually. You are a wonerful mother and person (SuperMom in my opinion) and your girls reflect that in all they are!

Bella is so creative and funny, and just such a free spirit, and has more important things to worry about in her little head than four-word sentences! Like Disney princesses and fairies!

Hayden is struggling as well, but in a different way. My mothers instinct has long told me something was off, but not until now has it been confirmed by his teacher. We are now waiting on him to be tested as well. Sending good thoughts and hugs ya'lls way. You're a good mommy!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453461732241003685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004378581362090430.post-5485101258551453452008-02-07T18:41:00.000-06:002008-02-07T18:41:00.000-06:00Oh sweetie...I don't have any words to add...but I...Oh sweetie...I don't have any words to add...but I wanted to give you a big((((((((HUG))))))))) You are doing your best!

We as new parents always look to our doctors for any indication of a problem and if he didn't acknowledge anything, we automatically think they are fine. There is absolutely no reason for you to feel it was your fault. She is getting the help she needs and maybe there was a reason she needed to wait a year to start. Maybe she wouldn't have been ready back then. You never know. Just live in the now which is what you are doing. She is going to have a blast learning new things. I had a sunbeam that went to speech sessions and she was my best kid who sang all the songs. The others would just stare at me;)Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976801047250720363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004378581362090430.post-29122704067515643172008-02-07T15:07:00.000-06:002008-02-07T15:07:00.000-06:00Our two oldest have been in speech therepy for a l...Our two oldest have been in speech therepy for a lateral lisp. I tried getting Ross placed when he was 4. The therepist didn't have a concern at the time - I did. He was able to start in October of his Kindergarten year. Just this January, 3 years later, he met all of his goals and completed his therepy. He sounds "normal" now with his sh, ch, j, & s sounds.<BR/>I was a little more forceful when Elizabeth was 3 1/2, so that's when she began. She continues to go twice a week at school because she's not quite there.<BR/><BR/>I am a BIG fan of speech therepy. It has really helped my kids. <BR/>I love that they have had fun going, too. The therepy is more like a play session. When I went to school, we knew who was pulled out for special classes. The other kids at school seem jealous when the kids go in groups to speech. They see all the fun they get to have.<BR/><BR/>It can be a long road, but one that will definitely be worth it in the end. One day I was sitting in a waiting room at a mechanic's shop. Another customer commented, in a kind way, about their lisps. She told me she, too, had a lateral lisp as a child. I remember feeling a lot of hope because she had no lasting speech problems. I can say now that Ross speaks as well as other third graders and Elizabeth is on the way. I'm glad that Bella is 3 and will be getting some help. I feel like the sooner the better.

He's in preschool now (half days) and has improved LIGHT YEARS beyond what any of us thought he could do. He is learning so quickly and it's even helped with his distractions. Moms really don't know everything and it's knowing that that can helps us help our kids as best we can, because there is always help when we need it!
