This week we seemed to have a lot of Dr. visits. I had a tooth break on Tuesday night and luckily the dentist was able to fix it on Wednesday. Joey had an appointment to see the speech therapist this week to see if he needs speech therapy. But I woke up in the morning feeling like I didn’t need to take Joey. I felt after his pediatrician appointment 2 weeks ago that he has really made an improvement and I think the pediatrician is right, Joey will outgrow it and he is just a tad slower on speech.
I traced the boy’s bodies on butcher paper and gave them the task of coloring their bodies. Joey started coloring and got bored, but I was really impressed with Ben. He added major details of what he was wearing. It is really cute.
Ben was playing with stuffed animals and he put them in his shirt. I then came around the corner and he had put some in Emily’s shirt too. He wanted a picture of both of them together. It was adorable.
I was trying to figure out how to teach Ben to remember his phone number. We made up a song to “this is the way we brush our teeth,” using our phone number. I also bribed him with food. He counted out each of the fish crackers for the number he was using.
Eric found out that Em loves oranges. Two days ago Emily climbed two stairs and then Ben showed her how to climb the stairs and she snuck up stairs. It scared me I hadn’t even left her for a minute. I will need to try and find a way to block the bottom of the stairs because the baby gate doesn’t work because of the stair railing.
