questions

If any of you have any answers or info on any of the following questions, please e mail or comment it here for me...

My mom asks,

Is Maddie talking enough for her age. I think she should be talking in sentences... so i found...

http://www.babycenter.com/400_my-20-month-old-wont-talk-he-babbles-what-he-thinks-is-a-sen_2000403_13988790771.bc

and e mailed it to her.

I even gave her some stuff to do with Maddie, but she has me concerned because of Kenzie's speech issues...

So I am researching ways to get toddlers talking more.

Then she says, YOU NEED TO GET MADDIE TESTED FOR AUTISM. I reply with, when I took her to the doc the last time I told her YOU were worried about the Autism, and Dr. Morgan isn't concerned with it. I am also researching that.

here is a link on diagnosis of autism

http://www.nationalautismassociation.org/diagnosis.php

although Dr Morgan isn't concerned with it, I feel that I should put it here to help educate other mothers about autism since it is so frequently diagnosed thesedays.

The next question she consistently asks is about Maddie occasionally taking a step with her toes pointing in. I don't notice it very much, but she says she is "walking with her toes pointed in" every time I watch her, I don't see it very much. Yes Maddie had a hip click, but she was released from the ortho doc over a year ago and so we are not worried about it, but I get told, you need to have another xray to make sure. I always think that the doc is the one who tells us when to have an xray. I mean. I am at my whitts end. I am at the point of no return with all of the "things" wrong with my kid.

With Kenzie the questions aren't as many as they used to be probably because she can talk and take up for herself. I am just venting right now because it seems like every time I turn around, there is something else wrong with one of the kids. It frustrates me when I am told take them to the doc about this or that ever time I trun around. I am not trying to say I don't want to know concerns I am saying that when it is brought to my attention one time, that is usually all I need. I make note of it and I talk with the doc the next time I take the child.

Enough of my frustration, Kenzie is sick and wanting to come home from school, so if she isn't any better monday, I will not be sending her to school. I will update you more later.

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
