Life can be tough.
So, I haven't been very active on the boards and blog lately and I thought I would explain why. Last week, before we went to Vermont, we went to Children's Hospital in Boston for a developmental check up for Ben (we go there every six month because he is in a preemie program that tracks his progress). Well, the team is concerned with his development and they want him to be seen by a developmental MD.
What does that mean? Well, he is 2 years old (22 months corrected) and he still isn't talking. He seems to be stuck in a rut in a couple areas. They suspect that he may have a sensory integration and motor-planning problem. I won't go into what that means...it is a bit complex....but the point is, I have been overwhelmed with appointments with specialists and therapists.
It is so hard being a parent. So much of it is filled with joy and happiness, but there is almost as much filled with anxiety and fear about your child's health and well being. I just haven't been able to get to my computer and scrap and finish my next kit. Life feels so off kilter. I want it to get back to normal.
Anyway, I just wanted to pop in a let you all know where I have been.
More later...

Susan, I am so sorry for the stress and worry about your little man. Have you ever heard of a book called "the Out-Of-Sync Child"? It talks a lot about Sensory Intergration. I know that many people in the Early Childhood field reccomend this book. I hope this helps a little. I know it's tough to have concerns about your child. I just know you will be an awesome support for Ben!
