Sweet William has been an active climber for a while now. He has now figured out how to move furniture around the house or pull drawers out and climb on them in order to get what he wants.. This gives mommy lots of extra wrinkles that no amount of Obagi can fix. He is also a very picky eater. We think it's due to his jaw not being strong enough to chew certain foods, but I also think he's just hard-headed about eating. He likes what he's use to and doesn't want to try anything new. What 2 year old doesn't like meat? Mine!! No ham, turkey, chicken, fish... NOTHING!! (William currently just brought a handfull of wipes... no a box full of wipes and dumped them on my bed.. lovely).. anyway back to eating.. We are hoping when the speech therapist comes this week they will be able to tell us if he needs an OT instead. I think a lot of his speech delays are from his jaw muscles. He can say around 30 or so words he's just not putting 3 or more words together to make sentences. He has NO problem communicating what he wants.. He will grab your hand and lead you to his destination then tell you what he wants. He certanily knows how to get his way!
I'm around kids all day and I'm so amazed at how some of them act. I know both of my parents would have torn my rear end up if I acted the way these kids do these days. It's so much easier to let your kids do what they want then it is to discipline them. I'm guilty of this already. I pray we can teach William good behavior and to be a well rounded child, teen, and adult. Kids learn from example and this is something I know I need to be better at setting.
On another note: these are my favorite things right now!!
