Oral and signing...

I'm glad to hear of your progress. I think you are doing a good job. I wish you the best of luck. Please let us know how it all turns out.
 
Thank you everyone... I will admit I was SO nervous to ask about it b/c we hold his meetings AT his school (it's a good central location) and they ADORE my son and watch him very closely b/c of his other issues that I didn't want to make anyone mad... if that makes sense... But I'm so glad I spoke up!!

We're also enrolled in an independent Baby Sign class for four weeks in May-- it's like a mommy and me sort of set up... I just hope he will sit still and I can pay attention!! LOL

Again THANK YOU for the support and everything I'm learning here!! :hug:

Is that lissencephaly or more like the brain damage seen in Fetal Alchohol Syndrome or Fetal Alchohol Effect?

I'm just vaguely familiar with FAS/FAE since luckily none of the kids I've had in my care had it...

And I looked up the other term as I had never heard it used before-- it fits in this category to an extent... his mother had contracted the CMV virus for the first time while pregnant with him- and it caused the cells to develop abnormally. While the definition I read of lissencephaly indicates death shortly after birth- and horrible birth defects Adam's case is not nearly as severe... (his is also only on the left side of his little brain- the right side is 'normal'--)
 
Yay! You got signing in school for him. Now he won't miss so much in class and have to read everything in sight to make up for it.

Yes I'm excited about him getting a signing teacher-- also we're both going to a "Mommy and Me" type of signing class for 'baby signs' in May-- it's an 8 week Saturday course... but it's something we can do together so I'm excited about that too!!

Oh that part about him keeping me in shape... hahaha!! I've gained weight since he came home! LOL he had problems w/gaining weight so we feed him a high fat diet-- so now that he doesn't eat baby food anymore-- I've been BAD about eating high fat w/him! LOL (what's really sad is mine isn't pregnancy weight but rather just 'baby' weight!)

THANKS he is dreamy huh?? two girl friends have said that if/when they have little girls, they want them to marry him LOL There's something about how dark his eyes are... they're almost black!! makes the girls :drool:
 
Adam is just all around cutie pie to me... I would be up for it... saves me the pregnancy... (don't know why I am not looking forward to that one at all :shrug: )

JL
 
Yeah I didn't have to suffer morning sickness-- hormonal flucuations-- wait I'm having those now! LOL All the 'fun' part of being pregnant, I got to skip!! I just got the beautiful baby boy!!! :D :D
