Updates and News on Several Items of Interest
First, Nathan is talking. Finally-- really talking. I mean, I knew at some point, he would (I assumed by the time he was ready to enter college) but to have him actually communicate using his voice is fantastic. He still sounds like he is deaf-- his tone is flat and it's very difficult to understand him but he's using short sentences and naming objects left and right. I can get most of what he says and figure out the rest and this has been a tremendous change for the better right now. Second, Peter was having difficulty sleeping again. We had put him back in the crib because he was getting out of the toddler bed repeatedly. But the crib is only meant to hold a child weighing 35 lbs or less. Peter is 45 lbs. He also wanted a "tent" over the crib. So, we had to put a coverlet over the crib to make a "tent." Instead, we got a mattress (no box spring, at this point) and I was looking for a bed tent you can get on the internet. My sister came through instead.
