That's great. It is never easy and continuing on working on ways to make it fun for him is the biggest hurdle, but I'm sure that you are going to be in good hands. Are you going to Wisconsin? I know that there are some fabulous people up there! Even trying speech activities after swimming or running for him could help to improve speech production. Also, keep up the work on the diet coke. I gave it up 4 weeks ago and I have to say that in the beginning - it was awful!! Now, I feel great. I have actually lost some weight, too, which shocks me! Trying to fit into that spearmint dress this summer -that's my goal - ha!! Keep up the great work. I love MJC! As a pediatric OT, I say kudos to you for continuing to work on the speech!

I found myself buying north face coats for 2 of my boys last night.. I mean it's March and I am buying for Dec. Been in hospital bad bad bad Diamond fell out of ring. Yep it's gone. one of the kids broke my new glasses and no not covered for replacement. As for Joe, I can't see how anyone (making an effort to help there child) can be wrong. Your not trying to Change him, only help him. I deal with this a lot to, why do I correct Chance when he calls a fish a bitch? Well it's a fish. His ducks sound more like sucks. I know he can speak better ( he just needs that nudge) why am I on to him all the time to wear his eye patch? B/c I want him to keep as much of his sight as possible. I love him I want only the best. - YOU will not regret anything u do to help your son. MY oldest I stayed on to for this and that and he's such a good boy. He's polite, smart, has a great education and well if he could manage money and actually be more normal than smart, he would be perfect (at least to me) Well shoot all my kids are..... MY dd Karlee turns 8 today and she ask me mom will I get to wear my Matilda Jane forever? Then she ask me if she could she wear her new blue dress for her B'day to school.. The norma I paid 200.00 for... With a lump in my throat she has it laid out and ready to wear. Hope the headache's go away. I have been getting the botox injections for migraines and I would have never imagine anything that worked so well. Night! Your so right about those list.

It's hard as parents to make decisions for our kids when they don't mesh with what our kids want. But you are doing what's best for Joe. My son is 9 and just got a top and bottom retainer to help straighten his bite. He's never had speech difficulties, but has a hard time talking with his retainers in. He came home from school the first day in tears because kids were teasing him ;-( He doesn't want to wear them to school anymore. But I have to make him. I totally feel for you Denise.

He speaks all over but he overcame a learning disability growing up - and also championed and advocated for his son (my brother who is now a missionary in Kenya) who had a disability (Chiari Malformation). I am biased because my dad is my hero but this book is eye opening and remarkable - a must read for any parent who is encouraging and advocating for a child with any kind of disability.

Go with your heart your right he will thank you later. Isogentics. Girl. I tried the cooler cleanse and only made it a day and a half. My head was KILLING me. I broke. Awesome I think when our children are young we may not always make a decision that they like but we always try to make the decision that is best.

It's hard when kids have their own opinion and you have to pull the mom card. Especially at this age... they are stuck between being a little kid and a teen. They THINK they can make decisions, when really, they can't. But of course they don't see it. Grace wanted to enroll in a Public Safety Academy for 6th grade... it's paramilitary training and I just don't see my free spirited girl in such an environment. All she saw was kids doing physical training in the mud, which looks like heaven to her RIGHT NOW. When I told her no, she stormed off in good tween manners yelling how life was unfair etc. But I know in my heart that I made the right decision.

You are Joe's parent and you know what is best for him. No one looks forward to going to therapy it is HARD. You are trying to help him be the BEST he can in life so later if he still has mispronounciations you will KNOW you did everything in your power to help him. With your guidance he will meet his MAXIMUM potential whatever it may be. Denise, Thanks for your candid post. You are Joe’s parent and you know what is best for him.
