Toward the end of the year she started wanting to share during our morning meetings. She just started talking and talking. The other students looked at me like...what is going on? Their mouths were hanging open and then they all started to cheer for her! It was so cool. Soon she was beating all their butts in oral math computations. Their minds are just amazing and we just cannot know what all is going on inside.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445572323133363805.post-8683905107727900222012-06-08T13:06:21.597-05:002012-06-08T13:06:21.597-05:00Sounds like you did a great job.Sounds like you did a great job.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704003344923624770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445572323133363805.post-8043525734114684592012-06-08T08:10:21.974-05:002012-06-08T08:10:21.974-05:00our daughter would not talk at all. when she was i...our daughter would not talk at all. when she was in head start they put her in speach full time. I think she finally got so tired of people asking her why she would not talk that when the teacher asked her the question agian she looked streight at her and said "Cause you are not worth it" this was at 5 years old. Love the kid to death but teaching here when to say some things and not others has now been our biggest fight lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445572323133363805.post-88382739825408775452012-06-08T08:04:46.746-05:002012-06-08T08:04:46.746-05:00Our son didn't talk until about 3, but our ins...Our son didn't talk until about 3, but our insightful family doc knew the words were there...just to "play the game," when our doc pointed to a duck photo on the wall, our son clearly said, "duck." On his own time. Potty training? All the signs were there - dry through the night, uncomfortable when wet, etc., but he wouldn't even look at the toilet until I bought Teenage Mutant Turtle underwear (this was a few years ago)...we watched as he took off his own diaper and put on Michelangelo...done. Never looked back... Has always taken a different path, but today he is 25, married with a 4 year old, and has 1 more year in college - on the dean's list...but it's been quite a ride!<br /><br />(Klonopin sent me, also)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445572323133363805.post-8987922354131089032012-06-08T07:41:29.506-05:002012-06-08T07:41:29.506-05:00It does sound plausible!

I made that up to shut them up! Plausible though. It worked and my kids did fine graduating to theier own space at their own time.

My son was a late talker. We had a host of other stuff going on (I don't know how much you've managed to delve back into my blog), but one thing that finally helped so much was just letting him do things at his own pace. Including (lord help us) potty training by 5. Yeah.<br /><br />Can I just tell you how much I like you for not buying the pillow and holding onto it? You're a king among men. I wish I were that strong.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427562250034222584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445572323133363805.post-30634136702665459872012-06-06T22:37:07.724-05:002012-06-06T22:37:07.724-05:00Thanks, Deb.

I don't think about that often, so it was funny to see it here. And funny--but sweet as hell--to see what got your daughter talking. <br /><br />I love this for itself, and also for giving me a reason not to smile (inevitably!) the next time I hear the Bieb referenced.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
