Vincent






Vincent started stuttering about 6 months ago. And not just a few words here or there, it is more like every 2nd or 3rd sentence. He will also have to repeat the word up to ten times before moving on in his sentence. He also have a few other little odd ball traits that we noticed so I confronted his pediatrician with the concerns. Over the last 3 weeks he has been evaluated 3 or 4 times and they say while his stuttering is a concern it is not bad enough to enroll him in a program but that he should be watched. On the other hand he has a grip of sensory issues and Occupation Therapy issues that the state will provide free therapy for him to help with those. They say we all have sensory issues, which I am not surprised, some just have more than others. He will be re-evaluated when he turns 3 and again every year until we either deny the issues or he improves on them.
Other than that he is very happy. JJ and him grow closer every day, thinking up new ways to get themselves into trouble. A weekend or so ago we went to an event called, Special Day for Special Kids. It was held at a beautiful train park here in Scottsdale. Vincent was invited by his Speech Therapist. What they did for the kids was absolutely amazing. Free food, drinks, petting zoo, pony rides, bounce houses, slides, carnival games, and train rides. The boys had a blast and there are some pictures form that.
Gianna is doing well also. She has been moving frequently and reassuring me that she is just fine. We have another realm of doctors appointments next week so they can check her growth and see how she is doing.
