Monday, November 5

Speech therapy went well. He was talking when we got there, no need to warm up like usual. Which is really good because we got there a few minutes late ;o). We went to the big room first and he played with Jen for a few minutes before he realized I wasn't right there. Progress on that front as well. We sang songs, etc. He did get really clingy and absolutely have to be on my lap, but he was still singing with Jen. He told me he was hungry and wanted milk, big shock on both fronts. With the time change, it was dead on naptime too, so he was communicating with body language that he was tired.

When we got home, he wanted the gate to the playroom open, and I as usual said, "help, help" as I opened it and he imitated pretty well!! That's a first for that. He pointed to the m&m's some more. I think that the ba-ba-ba lately has been 'milk'. It could be either 'Bottle' or 'cuP'. I'm pretty sure. Up is getting more clear. He came to me when he got tired of being in a poopy diaper, um, what else... He wanted to watch Blue's Clues again, and he was saying Bu Bu, that I think was Blue and he was talking intermittently through it. Bad mommy alert, he watched it twice and LE once this morning. But he was pointing to the pics and I'm more concerned with the choosing and pointing, so I'm picking my battles. He also made a choo-choo noise when he was looking at the Thomas pic on the tv.

Rachel had a solid poopy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And she's had three bottles today, and she's taken a normal amount in each one. I also gave her some banana, her first solid in 5 days. She gobbled it up, and Spencer helped feed her. I'm trying to teach him how to play peek-a-boo with her, but he doesn't seem interested.

I'm doing a lot better. My mood got worse last night, until it just sort of snapped and I felt better. WTF??? I go from thinking about grabbing a knife and using it on my wrists to being fine in 3 seconds??? I never used to be like this. Stressed? Yes. Completely fucking whacked out? No. Doctor tomorrow. Gotta get up the guts to be honest with him. I think I can be honest enough to get a therapy recommendation, then we'll go from there. I think Mike has an appt this week, but I'm not sure when. Wonder if it's posted to his iCal? HaHa...
