Exciting times ahead...

Well after 9 months of jumping through many different hoops we got everything approved and in place, Jeremy's Augmentative device is being shipped to him today. This is a device where he pushes a button and it speaks for him. I am estimating that possibly by the end of this week or early next week it should be in our hands. I posted a picture on Jeremy's blog earlier this past year of him using one, where he would request a drink or snack. This device will help Jeremy communicate what his needs and wants are, and in the process Jeremy will hear the same words/commands over and over. I am so excited about this new venture in our lives and can not wait to see what progress Jeremy makes in his speech.
We had an awesome weekend with our weather and it looks to continue into the middle of this week. Saturday Jeremy just played and played and didn't want to come in. On, Sunday we celebrated my dad's birthday by having a dinner, and of course our famous kickball game. It was good exercise for me and I could feel the work out. When we got home around 5, Jeremy ran outside with his doll and put her up in the fort so later that evening of course he had to go get her so that required an outside visit. He won't have Speech therapy this evening so he can play outside.
