My toddler who is barely talking, and he's almost three

Yes, my toddler is almost three and barely talking, not completely talking but is saying more words everyday. He also does say a few sentences such as Dada where my shoes, Goodnight mama and dada. Everyday we work with him or I work with him since I'm at home with him.  Now let's rewind to last September at his second birthday check up with the doctor. Everything is going fine until the words come out of the Doctor she is worry about him as he's a little behind with his speech, let me mention to you he just turn 2 four days before. I heard those words and as a mommy, his mommy I felt like I failed him, and myself as his mommy. She refer him to a speech specialist, and they would call me to schedule appointment with him soon. We left I cried as I thought something was wrong with my son, I had to called dada and he ensure me everything was fine and he will be fine. Speech specialist was scheduled for October we went and he did his thing at the end of the appointment, the specialist were impress with him and he was fine!

Now here we are almost three weeks shy from his third birthday. Yes third birthday and yes I have notice that my son has been working hard since last year, and yes he can communicate with us when he's hurt, sad, happy, want something, when hungry, and so much more. He also says more words each day, and he does get stress out when we want him to say a word or work with him, but he's trying and doesn't give him. Also just the other day daddy sneeze and he out of nowhere said Blessed you dada...of course dada and I were in shock, and was so proud of him like we are everyday.

We praise him everyday when he does something such as a high five, clapping or awesome job baby boy!

You know he almost three but I have learn not to stress! So as a mommy to another mommy if you are in my shoes know you are not alone. Know you have not failed as a mommy or failed him. Know he has not failed. And most importantly I know my son goes at his own peace and still is,  and if your child may be doing the same, know everything will be ok!

So hang in there!

Coming from a mommy who is a first timer and thought she failed as a mommy and her son. I didn't!!

Hello August, Goodbye July

July was good to us celebrated my mom birthday, catch a movie, celebrated a good friend daughter's 15 birthday which we were the sponsor of the ring. I kept up somewhat with the treadmill. Also kept my little busy with some fun playdates with some friends or it was just us. And of course due to the heat here in Texas we got my windows tinted on the my car so it can be cooler for not only myself but for my son as well. Than a few good friends celebrated their birthdays. A baby boy was born. Fianlly my husband started bonding more by making a movie date here at home while with our son or while he's asleep either way we are spending time together. As well we ended July by taking my son's 3rd birthday photo shoot.

Now August is here and I am day 2 with working out on the treadmill! Stay tuned for an updated at the end of the month!
