Emmy this and That
Today is a big day... Emily's last day in Speech Therapy. She has been going every week since a couple of months before her second birthday. Emily has done really well there. She is still very socially shy though even at therapy. However, at home and other environments that she is comfortable in she speaks really well. I have seen and heard significant improvements since she started and I am thankful for all they did to help her. It seems strange that after today we won't be going back. Tomorrow Keith and I have a meeting at the Elementary School to see if she is going to qualify in their Preschool program. Preschool on base doesn't start until the age of 4 but since Em has been in therapy she may go a year early if they feel it would help her. I have mixed feelings about it. I want her to go but not full time, just maybe one or two days a week. I don't want to "push" the whole school thing on her yet, she is really young and I want her to enjoy her toddler years at home with me like most kids. On the other hand I don't want her regressing socially. She went last week in a preschool classroom at the elementary school for an observation. When I went to pick her up she was on the other side of the classroom by herself playing and the teacher said she had to get a puppet out to talk to her. The kids were in the 4 year age group and Em was the smallest of the group, not to mention the youngest. I am sure she was intimidated and they group size is way larger than what she is used to. She seemed okay though when I picked her up and wasn't upset that I had left her. I think it would be good for her once she adjusted. I know she would learn allot and pick up a lot from the other kids. So, we will see what they say at the meeting tomorrow.
The weather here has gotten nice and warm but with that comes the green powder pollen... My allergies are in full swing and I'd like to take a rake to my eyeballs just to scratch them. After the pollen disappears though the humidity kicks in though, so I am not sure which is worse.
Emily's Birthday is on Sunday but we are having a party for her on Saturday. It is the day that we actually get into NY. She is having a "My little Pony" themed party. I have all the decorations, now I just have to get everything else including all her Easter stuff. I can't believe she is turning three!! It just seems like a few weeks ago I was preggers and had her. What's even more strange is my SIL Kari is now exactly in the week that I had Emily. She actually emailed me the other day and wanted me to write her about Emily's birth since I hadn't started my Blog until after I had Em. As I was writing I was feeling all those emotions again of giving birth so early. God, it was such a scary time in our lives and so many unknowns. Now look at her, she is turning three and is a walking talking toddler! She drives me crazy with her temper, her stubbornness, the whining she does, and repeating everything about 100 times BUT Good God do I love her more than anything in this whole world. I look at her and I can't believe she is actually my daughter...We tried forever, sometimes I wake up thinking maybe I just dreamt it all. Every morning though she wakes up with her crazy hair and comes running in my arms looking more beautiful then the day before.
Now, if she can get this whole peeing in a potty thing down I will be even more damn happy....
Did I tell you her latest thing... Calling me Jewie or Mom, just Mom, no E at the end of it. Not happy about that but that is why she does it!! She thinks she is such a smarty pants calling me Julie too... Little shit!! I remind her that she calls me Mommy and that other people call me Julie... I won't answer her unless she uses Mommy or even Mom but my three year old calling me Jewie is just not going to happen people.
Well, I have to go shower and get ready for the day. I will Blog again later about the horse thing... Later....
