day 2/365

Today we broke into the birthday presents, thank goodness for color wonder markers! Liam was coloring in his book and little sister Chloe decided to color too, the markers were everywhere but I knew they were having a great time! Of course Chloe was gone when it came time for pictures!

Liam is also very excited for a few things this week, starting his speech group at a school and taking a road trip to VA, daddy is going away again and we're gonna meet up with him down there along with Dennis, who is Liam's best friend!

Liam's 3rd birthday!!

So this is officially day 1 of our 365 day adventure! Liam had a great day today, he was so excited about his pizza party and walked around telling everyone he is 3! He got a lot of great gifts, I'm not sure what to get him for christmas since he got so much and so far the present of the day is the drum set he got from Uncle Joey, Aunt Brynn and Kar-Kar!

The loot!

His most favorite gift, I think I might have a star in the making!

big cheesy grin!

a few days before his birthday but I thought I'd share because they're cute.. he's starting to dress himself!

IEP Meeting

Liam has been receiving speech therapy through Early Intervention for over a year now. It's been amazing, his teacher is awesome and he's made some real progress. He's transitioning out of the infant/toddler program and entering into the preschool program since he's turning 3. We had the meeting today to discuss his goals and the new plan. he will be what they called "part-time/part-time" which means that for 1/2 hour 1 day a week he will have a teacher come out to the house o work with him and then another 1/2 on a different day I take him to a school where he will work in a speech group setting with 1 or more children. I'm really excited for him because he'll be getting some more social interaction and hopefully we continue to move forward with his progress.

I'm so thankful for Early Intervention and for his teacher now Jen, it's hard moving on because she's become a huge part of our routine and I truly believe Liam will miss her but I know we'll get another great teacher and we can always keep in touch with Jen!

A work in progress...

I decided to start a blog for Liam just to keep everyone in the loop on things that he's doing. Starting on his birthday we're going to jump on the "365" bandwagon where I will attempt to take and post at least 1 picture a day of him for a whole year. He doesn't know what he's in for yet but it will be fun (for me at least!)
