Tate-speech therapy...Rowan-new cast

So Taysen started Private speech therapy today. :) He hated it at first. Well let me re-word that...He did ok while we walked to the therapy room...then I left, thats when the screaming started. LOL...I figured that would happen though. So me and Rowan sat in the waiting room and waited because his appointment was only 30 minutes long. Not really funny, but occasionally I would just sit there and laugh under my breath because people kept making comments that the therapists must be torturing that little kid thats screaming...haha...yes you could hear his shrill screechy scream all the way out in the waiting room. He screamed for the first 15 minutes...then he finally quieted down and you could just hear a scream once in a while. Haha. Now, yes, I did feel bad for him for being upset...but at the same time, Tate is a screamer...so its not like I dont hear it every single day. But according to his therapist, he did quite well during the end of the class and warmed up pretty good. He even got a sticker for his shirt...he really liked that part. He was so happy about that part that when he got back out to the waiting room he ran up to Rowan to show her his sticker. :) Anyhow, I called this afternoon and asked if we could move his appointments to an hour instead of a half hour since we only get 20 visits per year...so I want to get the most out of this torture as we can. They were ok with that too. :) Im pretty happy...I figure if he screams for 15 minutes every appointment, he will have 45 minutes of productive therapy...instead of 15. So things are good on that front. :)

Next...update on Rowie. I took her to the Orthopaedic Doc yesterday to check over her cast. Instead they put us in the casting room to get a new cast. At the hospital they had just did a splint type cast, the bottom was really hard but the rest of it was just wrapped in the ace bandage type things. So she has a real cast now, and its hot pink. At least she gets to look cool. :) I wanted purple for her, but they only had pink, lime green, blue, or black...pink was the most fitting for her. I would have liked lime green too, but she doesnt really have much that would go with that. Haha...its her new accessory...it might as well match. She has to wear it until the middle or end of August. So looks like she wont be swimming when we go on vacation this year! (The 1st week of Aug...) Oh well, not like she really gets as much out of swimming as she will next year.

And Dena, when you were saying how we should be happy it wasnt her head...believe me, I was saying the same thing the whole time. I am very very thankful that her head was ok. She has a little bruise above her left eyebrow, but I think when she rolled out of the Bumbo, that her head hit the counter. At least that wasnt as far of a fall as the one to the floor!

At the Orth Docs office, the assistant who put us in the casting room said that she has 6 grandkids who all use a Bumbo...and she said when she saw the report, that she was wondering how the heck a baby got out of that. She said that either it must have been a really fat baby or else a really skinny baby...haha. But Rowan isnt either really....maybe a little skinnier than most kids her size, but she must just be a quick baby.

Anyhow...I guess thats it for now. I will try to get some pics up here sometime of both of them. I wish I knew how to post a video...because I have the cutest video of Taysen singing. :)
