This morning, at 6:45, I heard Logan wake up through the monitor. (He’s not so quiet when he wakes up.) My policy is that I don’t go in to get any of the kids until the clock reads at least 7:00.
As I was pondering whether to go in and try to calm him down or just ignore him for 15 minutes, I heard the Twins’ door open. My immediate thought was, “Oh man. Logan woke Burke up…Burke’s going to come jump into bed with us now.” And waited to hear the door open.
Well…I DID hear a door open, but it wasn’t our’s… it was Logan’s door. And then I heard the following conversation:
Burke: Do you want the light on?
Logan: Nooooo!
Burke: Do you want a blanket?
Logan: Nooooo!
Burke: Do you want another paci?
Logan: Paci!!
And Burke kept talking with him for 10 – 15 minutes. Go Burke 🙂

Who says you have to be tall to play basketball? And…do you really have to use a hoop each time? Not according to Logan 🙂

I really need to get a phone with better video quality if I’m going to keep using it for these posts…Or maybe remember to bring my camera out more often…

This week’s challenge is to add music to your video. Thank goodness YouTube provides an option for that! 🙂
This was taken over Easter weekend. Burke had just received a Cars remote control car…and someone seemed to be chasing Logan around with it. (Logan lets out a bunch of high-pitched squeals in this, so it’s a good thing the audio was swapped out 😉 )

Logan had his Early Intervention evaluation yesterday. Four very nice young ladies came to “play” with him and evaluate every aspect of his development. Burke and Maggie went through this as well, so I knew what to expect.
Logan had a blast with all the new “toys” and all of the attention (and with no siblings to take things away!) He wasn’t feeling 100% (still isn’t) and is majorly congested.
Anyway…long story, short – He qualifies for services. You have to have at least a 30% delay in at least one developmental area to qualify. Obviously, I wasn’t surprised that he qualified – I wouldn’t have requested the evaluation if I didn’t think he needed it, right? 🙂
I AM surprised at how far behind his speech actually is. Remembering that he’s 18 months old, he checks in – for speech – at 5 months. Yikes!! That’s more than a year behind! Given that he wasn’t feeling well, I could make some excuses … but what the ladies saw is pretty much what he’s got.
In the other areas he’s either right on schedule or well above. (Apparently, he’s a very social kid – his social skills clock in at 24 months heh) Luckily, the ladies are “excited” by his type. Meaning, they can totally tell that he understands that he needs to communicate, and HOW to communicate (that it’s a two-way thing), he just lacks the ability to create the actual sounds to communicate. They say he’s a bit of an oddity because he’s got intonation for things (like, he’ll intone “Thank you!” when you hand him something or “Up, Please.” if he wants you to pick him up…he just doesn’t say the words), and apparently that’s a bit ahead for his age. (Making scoring him a little bit of a challenge.)
They were impressed when a ball rolled under the table and out into another room…and he looked under the table, but didn’t follow the ball. He went around the table to get it. They were also impressed by how he holds a crayon – apparently little kids aren’t supposed to be holding writing utensils correctly yet 😉 And they loved his reasoning skills – figuring out how to get his juice that was too far away, but on a washcloth by pulling the cloth.
Smart kid! We just gotta get him talking.

I took Logan to get his hearing checked yesterday (just as a precaution because he’s not really talking much). The facility was WONDERFUL. We took Burke into Boston when they thought he needed a check – this one was outside of Boston and much more kid-friendly.
I held Logan on my lap while a nice, young lady tried to keep his attention on the toys she was playing with. Another nice lady was behind the mirror making sounds come out of speakers on either side of us. If Logan looked in the right direction, he got the surprise of a toy lighting up and moving under the speaker. He was such a good kid! He even let them put headphones on him for a while.
Long story short – he’s all good. No hearing issues. (Which is pretty much what we figured, but it can’t hurt to check.)
