La la la Lemonade

June 14, 2019June 14, 2019 ~ thespeechmom ~ 1 Comment

As we established in the last blog post, Gus gets speech therapy now.  He is into it.  And he is already making progress.  I am not going to lie, it is kind of fun to be on the other end of speech therapy.  And to be 100% honest, for the first time in my career, … Continue reading La la la Lemonade

A Decent Person Who Remembers to Vote

January 30, 2019January 30, 2019 ~ thespeechmom ~ 3 Comments

When Hank was born my grandfather held him and said "Henrik, that is the name of a president."  John responded with "We are just hoping to raise him to be a decent human being who remembers to vote."  Anyone that knows John is not surprised by his response.  I rolled my eyes at John.  Anyone … Continue reading A Decent Person Who Remembers to Vote

Gus and the Giant Tonsils

January 17, 2019 ~ thespeechmom ~ Leave a comment

Whenever I forget how difficult it is to have a child who doesn't eat, God does this really great thing where he makes one of my kids have my issues.  And then I get frustrated and angry and tell my kids to pull it together - and then I realize I am doing the things … Continue reading Gus and the Giant Tonsils

Edible Socks? No, Consumable Stockings.

December 13, 2018 ~ thespeechmom ~ 1 Comment

Stockings are so much fun.  All those little sweet gifts.  We do little things in our stockings.  We feel that the big fun stuff should come from us.  I do not want the big guy in the red coat to be the one who gets all the credit for the good stuff.  He can have … Continue reading Edible Socks? No, Consumable Stockings.

I know, I know.  I should give Thanksgiving the week it deserves before I starting pushing Christmas into the lime light.  So before I do that....Happy Thanksgiving.  I am blessed to have lots and lots of wonderful people to share Thanksgiving with.  We have celebrated  Thanksgiving three times throughout the week.  All with different groups … Continue reading The Christmas Box

It Wouldn’t Happen to Me

October 15, 2018October 15, 2018 ~ thespeechmom ~ 1 Comment

Every time a child is in the news for something terrible I say "That poor mother.  It could happen to anyone."  But in my mind something different is happening.  I say to myself "That couldn’t happen to my child because I would never let my child lean over the gorilla's cage."  Or "I would never … Continue reading It Wouldn’t Happen to Me

Inexpensive Ways to Work on Colors

September 27, 2018 ~ thespeechmom ~ Leave a comment

The boys are learning about colors at school.  They love it.  Gus loves it most.  He is taking his color days very seriously.  He especially took green day seriously.  Because for once we had a pair of green shorts.  This was so much better than the navy, gray, or black shorts we make him typically … Continue reading Inexpensive Ways to Work on Colors

Stage 5 Baby Foods

September 12, 2018September 12, 2018 ~ thespeechmom ~ Leave a comment

When Hank first started on puree, I made them.  Because I had one child.  And that child was only going to get the best.  So I steamed pees and boiled carrots.  I pureed until every mini mason jar in the city had been filled with mushy love.  I thawed and warmed to perfection.  And he … Continue reading Stage 5 Baby Foods
