These are pictures and a video from our ice skating adventure last week.
We went to Salt Lake last week. Parker had an appointment at Primary Children's hospital. They did some test to see why he is not able to speak very well. Everything looked fine. They just told us that he needs a lot of speech therapy. I wish that we knew why he is having such a hard time. I'm very happy that there is nothing physically wrong. On the way home from Parker's appointment, we decided to go ice skating. This was Parker and Brinley's first time of ice skating. Alissa went for her first time in December, so this was her second time. We had a fun time. Alissa was so excited because she learned how to skate with out holding on to anything. Parker also went a few times with out holding on to anything. Brinley didn't like ice skating. She was shaking so bad. She kept saying, "Brin scared." So Roger and I took turns sitting on the side with Brinley and watching the others skate. Brinley was a lot happier watching everyone ice skate. Parker was so funny. He fell a lot. I only caught one of his falls on tape. The thing that made it so funny was that he would try to stop his fall and catch his balance by moving his feet. By doing that he made the fall last much longer. He would stop himself from falling backward and then he would over correct and start falling forward. It was so funny. I wish I would have caught one of those falls on tape.
Are Tyler couldnt speak clearly until he was 6yr's old, he had a ton of speech therapy like three years before he woke up one day and could talk and they said he had no medical reason for it!! Thats why his nick name is woogy becouse thats the only legible word we could understand forever,what it means we'll never know.He went to preschool for a year then a half a year of kindergarten then back to a special ed. preschool for the other half then back to the same kindergarten teacher and she said he was like a different child.It's hard for the teacher and their classmates to communicate with them. Dont get frustrated, Parker will talk when he's ready, the therapy will help, we went three times a weak.
