Brayden's progress

I havent post in a LOOONNNG Time. Bray is doing very well! Last spring we got him in the PPCD program with Frisco Schhol District. His teacher Mrs. Addae is amazing! His speech has come so far in 6 months it is amazing! He does still have a speech problem in the pronunciation, but his vocabulary is no longer an issue. His tantrums are better and still have a way to go in that area.

Lots of News




We had the 2nd of 4 meetings with the school district today. I couldnt tell what impression he had made on the evaluation team. He was pretty cooperative for them. We will have our next meeting 4/2.


We got a new puppy - Toby. Black retriever mix. so cute!


Brayden's speech is developing so nicely! I love his most recent sentence - "NO WIKE NOMAN". Apparently he doesnt like snowmen :)


We also joined a camping preserve and have been camping and fishing alot in the RV. He LOVES the outdoors!


Great news to report! He is sleeping through the night again. He wakes up occasionally, but not like he was. We thought we were going to die trying to survive that!

Updates

It has been a LOOOOONG time since I have updated as we have been incredibly busy trying to get Bray help. Here are some highlights of events in the recent months.

We had out first ARD meeting (1 of 3) with the Frisco Independent School District for admission processing for the early intervention program called PPCD. We will have the 2nd meeting 3/26, and the final meeting sometime before his 3rd birthday 4/9. So we will not know anything until all 3 meetings have been held.

Brayden did pee in the potty today! HIP HIP HORAY! He was in the tub and said "I got to go potty... I gotta pee" !!!! I poured some water on him and he finally did and said "I doin' it I doin' it"!

Brayden started therapy at Frisco Our Childrens House at Baylor. It is ok. It is very time consuming. I am going to check into an agency called Therapy 2000. They come to the house.

His speech has come such a long way since the tube & adnoid surgery! I cant believe how much he is talking in such the short amount of time. Tantrums are still very much a problem, but small improvements are noticable.

He also did not cry for the first time ever when I dropped him off for preschool this week. Both days! He instead cried when I picked him up :(

Update to the sleeping issue... he in the last few weeks is back to sleep. That was a painful reminder of what it is like to have a newborn that doesnt let you sleep.

So overall, I think this shows so much improvement. He is going to be ok!!!!
