Bye bye binky No more Nuk . . .
Bye Bye Binky . . No more Nuk . . Put the Passy in the trashy!! Yep, that's what we're singing at our house. We decided when brennan was 1 to wait until he was 18 mo and then till he was 2 - well that time had come, and we finally had no events for a couple weekends, so it was time. Brennan was a champ - he cried for about a half hour the first day at nap time, and never cried again - I know, I am very blessed! There has been a lot going on with Brennan lately - my baby is growing up! We have had a lot of struggles with attachment, and 3 weeks ago, after we had been gone from our church for 5 weeks, he finally let me leave him in "sunday school" without crying the entire time, he actually didn't cry at all! Mommy was so proud! He has been fine ever since. We also have been struggling with talking, he has fallen way behind, and we finally have been approved and will start speech therapy next tuesday. I'm still praying there is nothing wrong, and he will be able to catch up with a little assistance. He's actually made a lot of progress over the last few weeks, it's a little more challenging to teach him - we actually need to break down every word by sounds, and teach him one at a time. We've also been teaching him a little sign language - he knows "more", "milk", "sorry", "please", "big (he made his own)", which we found out actually helps with learning words because it activates the same part of the brain. He also has learned quite a few new words, and refined a few of the ones he was saying. If you can check out the right side of the blog sight I have all his words listed. Latest words are Obe (kobe), T-O (toe), Owl, Mo (more), ME, puppy and No (just today). Other than our struggles, he is my sweetie and loves to give kisses on my cheek for no reason at all, and momma loves it!! I better go, I hear him talking, and last time I let Kobe entertain him until I got there - you can see below what happened!
