Sorry, I was here, but the shots are bothering Logan so he was being grumpy. Nothing motrin and tylenol hasn't helped!
Lol, sorry to hear about the button, Illiana, I swear some of the stuff they make they don't think about kids!!!

wicked-angel Tomoe_Gozen I learned the alphabet in kindergarten as well. We're putting too much pressure on children lately. I hear they're talking about having children in kindergarten earlier. I have serious issues with that. Let them be kids for a while, please. I sooo agree with you! These people that tested him act like they know him better than me. They saw him for 3... 45 min sessions. Give me a break. I know what his capabilities are. He is very smart. He is just hard to understand when he talks. You really have to listen to him. He get's frustrated when he has to repeat things sometimes. But, I have been working with him. Of course I want the best for him. I hope that the speach therapy the state is offering is going to help. But, They need to understand he is just a 4 year old little boy... I don't think they should push him too hard. My oldest was slow learning to talk. He had hearing trouble though. The inside of his ears were flat, or something like that and weren't vibrarting sound very well. He had to have ear surgery last winter, and he does seem to be doing better. I try not to push him too much... He'll be 4 later this month and he's learning the alphabet right now and phonics, but it's at his request. I think he just wants to be like me and Shaun, and because we've been in school most of his life, he watches us read a lot, especially since that is also something we do for fun. He's picking up a lot though, and I listen to him running through phonics exercises even when I'm not actively working with him. Like "t-t-t-t Tree. Tree starts with T."

Orophin Kasumi ^^ that sounds very promising!... when i was little, i wanted to be older and smarter like everyone else... ^_^ but i never taught myself stuff like that! I think he's just highly motivated. When he's not interested in something, he won't do it and who knows whether he can or can't... I certainly won't complain though if he wants to learn to read... I wonder if Luke's going to do this too because he's always trying to imitate Ty, but he's still a different kid, so he still does a lot of things his own way.

Heh, it sounds like he'll have a drive to persue the best education for himself when he grows older...
Hey y'all. Sorry I haven't been around much, lately. City of Heroes has currently acquisitioned my immortal soul as its plaything. When it tires of it, I'll be back more often ^_^'''
EDIT: Strange thing though... as playing as my Defender, I saw one character that I was going to message to see if it was her or not, but she ran off before I could. The character's name? Girl Anachronism eek Was that you, hon?

There's a chance I might be going to the doctor's today...
They said to come in if I have anymore problems and I'm having problems...
I'm having cramping...
The doctor is supposed to call me and they'll figure something out...
I can't help, but to feel kind of silly though...
I just didn't know what else to do... sweatdrop

wicked-angel Uni... I just had my two boy's tested for speech. The 6 year old they said go ahead and put in school and they will work with him there. The 4 year old they want to put in special education. I know that he has a problem talking but, I think he can't hear that well. I had to have his ear's cleaned out by the doctor. They were full of wax and you couldn't see his eardrum. I have been trying to keep them clear. I can't get him back to the doctor till my husband get's back to work. Hopefully next month we will have health insurance again... sad They act like something is wrong with him. But, he tested 93 percent for hands on task. He can play video games and build things that are out of this world. These doctor's think he is slow cause he doesn't know his ABC's and all numbers yet. So much more is expected of kid's these days then when I was a kid. I leared my ABC's in kindergarten. Now if they don't know them by 4 they are considered slow... What the hell? He has so much knowledge... I just hate that he has a hard time speaking. I hope these classes that he will be starting soon will help. I am soooo stressed... sorry for not finished backlogging before i posted.. but when i saw this.. I just had to say somthing.. my son is this way also.. and I recently found out he is autistic. I strongly you ask your doctor about the possibility. and when your insurance comes back, try to get a referral to a neurologist. maybe it's not.. but hte earlier you find it out and start working with it; the better you can rehabilitate him to function normally for school. does he do a lot of repetitive things? like.. does he build the same structures most? or like to play the same games for long periods of time in same sitting?

On a real positive note, my son brought home his very first finger paint project!!!! blaugh whee whee whee whee whee whee whee whee whee *too excited?* yeah... i'm excited. it's on my fridge now. i might frame it. it doesn't look the most colorful, but it's his first. and, he's really been growing again. i think he's gonna be real tall...

On the speech thing. My oldest didn't give up the binky until she was almost 4, not for lack of trying either. She'd stash them on us. Anyway, her teeth grew in funny and there was a gap between her top and bottom teeth, she learned how to talk while compensating for that. After the binky loss her teeth were fully able to drop and she had to relearn how to talk. The school kept trying to tell me she had a problem until I showed them pictures of her teeth. As long as you know your child, and how he functions there are no problems. Professionals always think they know your child better than you even if they've never seen the little one before. Good luck with that.

lunashock Sorry, I was here, but the shots are bothering Logan so he was being grumpy. Nothing motrin and tylenol hasn't helped! I hope your little one is feeling better. How about a cold compress and lots of cuddles. Not that you aren't already doing that. If the motrin or tylenol hasn't helped you may want to call your doctor. He could be having an allergic reaction.

He could be having an allergic reaction. his reaction could be to the needle itself or the preservatives they use on vaccines... or... maybe the stuff they prep him with... i'd say if it goes on for more than 24 hrs to take him in.
