Therapy this week

We went for Landon's monthly speech therapy session Friday. He's doing well with most of his skills. We still need to work on the sitting, but he is doing much better than he was. He is able to ride in a cart at the store and sit in a high chair as long as they have buckles to help keep his balance. We are giving him until after the surgery to see if this is related to his hearing loss. I've talked to quite a few who have said their kids had trouble sitting until they received their implants so we are holding off until he gets his. If it doesn't improve after that then we'll be setting up some physical therapy for him. He actually performed a couple of his new tricks - clapped his hands and waved bye-bye. He didn't do the lizard tongue - we forgot about that one. We have a few things to work on - getting him to stack blocks instead of just knocking them down, and getting him to put the rings back on the stacker instead of just taking them off.
We got the official orders from the doctor for the surgery so it's set for Oct. 1 with a post-op Oct. 2. It didn't have a pre-op scheduled so I'm going to have to contact them about that. With Dr. Molony being out-of-town the week before I'm not sure if they will want to do it a week before surgery or just check him the morning of. Luckily he's only had one ear infection so far so hopefully it won't be a problem.
Landon cut his first tooth this week. He's been miserable getting it. He's been running fever and only wants to be held by mom. Normally he's just a very happy baby so he's definitely not been acting like himself. It looks like the fever broke the night before last so hopefully he'll be getting back to himself soon. Connor's doing well in kindergarten. We are 2 weeks ahead of schedule in math and phonics. He'd probably be farther if I would let him.
