Brrrrrr...It is cold!!

  Ok so not as cold as almost ALL OF THE COUNTRY, but still for us, it is cold.  I try and dress myself and Colton in layers so that way we can strip off layers as it gets somewhat warmer.  This morning he had on a T-shirt, a long sleeved shirt, a fleece fuzzy and two pairs of cotton pants.  Trying to potty training in the winter is not easy with all the layers of clothes on that boy!!

   I have a three day weekend coming up, so I will be the one to take Colton to school on Monday.  Last Monday, Mom said he was a little weepy and then Tuesday he said "bye" but his little lip quivered a little.  Of course he had yesterday and today off and then back to school tomorrow.  He gets to stay for lunch since they are having pizza.  I think he is getting a little more accustomed to the "routine."  Next Friday, he will have to leave school early though because he is having his EI evaluation.  I am interested in what they say.  I am prepared for his delay in speech, but I just wonder what else he could be lagging behind in.  I think he may know more than he "lets on", but he doesn't have the words to express himself.  I can see the frustration in his face when he wants something, but can't say what it is.  We try and make him say the word or repeat the word, but it still just doesn't work.  He will just say "uh-huh" or "yep" but not repeat the word.  Still doesn't say ABCs or count at all.  He knows what two and three is, but doesn't say the correct word.  I thought they were supposed to be sponges at this age----
