We've had a busy week with Elliott. A lot of you probably know we've had some concerns with his diction and the volume he speaks at. I know he's super young but I had a hunch he was having some problems. He was recently assessed and it turns out there are a few concerns. This week, he started speech therapy to clear up some "idiosyncratic"speech and to work on refining his vowel sounds. As part of the process he also underwent some hearing tests today. A lot of speech issues are a result of a fluid build up in a child's ears, Elliott however does not have fluid issues or any other hearing problems. Super news. With that said, it turns out we have a loud kid with a speech impedement. A dream come true. Just kidding. He's doing awesome and I think he actually likes the structure and interaction with new grown ups. I'm totally impressed, he sits like an angel and does all the exercises and responded well to the hearing tests. He's a smart, confident kid. Moreover, he's a smart, confident, loud, funny sounding kid and we love him.

Kate news - she chopped about 4 inches off her hair yesterday. She was thrilled. On the way up to the salon we took an elevator, Kate's response: "Oooh I feel it in my belly. It feels like I have a baby in my belly and it just kicked me." Spot on my darling. Spot on.
TGIF and popcorn night.
Happy weekend all y'all.
Kisses - CAKE
