Best laid plans
Well so much for my New Years resolution. 2 months later and I still don't have photos up and they're mounting. Its takes the little free time I have on my birthday to sit down and write something. We always seem to be busy lately, mainly just trying to keep up with the two year old. This kid is into everything and has been in a screeching phase for the last month plus which has been putting Rachel and my eardrums through some enduring times. Partly its due to his communication frustrations, but mainly its because he knows we hate it and he gets our attention. He is making some progress in speech though as yesterday he had his first two word 'sentence' by saying "lights on" in his bedroom. Speech doesn't count things like "Thank You" because to kids in their minds its just one long word since the two words are always together. Lights On is a big step in him piecing things together to help tell us what he wants.
My Mom came to Atlanta last weekend with her bf Jody for a little early Birthday present for me and to see Isaiah. We ran around to the Zoo and Aquarium and went to the Opera while they were here and we got to meet GA Governor Nathan Deal and shake his hand. Pretty neat, but nerve wracking a bit. I'm still not used to all the schmoozing and stuff that goes with going to the Opera, but it can be very interesting sometimes as my Mom and Jody could tell you! Other than that excitement it was great to see family and get some O&H danish from home and some Usingers Brats.
Today Isaiah was fit for some orthotics one his feet to help him evenly place the weight of his body across his whole foot rather than just the outsides. Many Apert kids have a bony growth on the pads of their feet that pushes their feet to do this and hopefully the orthotics will help spread the weight and not cause other issues for him up the legs and hips. Its just some special shoes and inserts that shape to his feet rather than braces at this point, but hopefully they do the trick.
