Sawyer Update

Sawyer (a.k.a. Tater Tot) had an appointment with the pediatrician today to discuss his speech and language development. He has no words right now and although we know he understands a number of words and commands, makes no audible consonant sounds. He used to make the "M" and "D" sounds but stopped. The pediatrician has referred us to an Audiologist and Speech Therapist. Dr. Boston said she knows he can hear (we know that too) because he knows his name and responds to simple commands but we don't know how well. We are a little concerned because of the string of ear infections he had in the fall & winter. She also said that some kids just take longer to talk, especially when they have an extrovert older brother. Jason & I have decided to error on the side of caution, especially since Tricare foots the bill. More to come....
