We went to have Carter's hearing test and speech evaluation Tuesday. He was really not a fan of them sticking something inside his ears but he did survive it and his hearing is perfect. He really liked the speech therapist that worked with him. She said that he was in the 15-17 month range for speech, so not just too far behind. The little stinker said every word he knew and she counted about 12-15 words. I was so proud of him. She said that the type of words he was saying were the sounds that kids usually have the most trouble with and the words that he is not saying are the words that usually come first. Only my child. He is having trouble with "pucker" words (momma, papa, ball, moo). She seems to think that she can help him get his words out and hope it won't take him too long to catch up. She didn't even bother with a comprehension evaluation becuase it was clear he understood all commands and knew what we were saying. So, we are going to speech therapy every Friday morning until he is all caught up. She must be made of magic, because since he has seen her he has been jabbering away.
I picked him up yesterday from Mrs. Lisa's and she said he was fine most of the day until the very end. He wanted in her lap. Right when I got him home he started running a high fever and acted like he didn't feel good at all. Anyways, long story short.....we went to the doctor and we have a double ear infection. Her exact words were "both ears look wretched". He has had 4 ear infections in 2 years and 2 of them are in a matter of 3 weeks.
So, yeah. Fun times.
