a snag hit?

Julian turns 3 on the 20th of this month... which means at the end of this month all of his early intervention services stop, like music therapy, speech, OT etc. We had been cut back on amount of times folks were coming out since things were grinding to a halt.

This weekend julian started stuttering. He still has some issues with vowels, word combos and such but not ever stuttered before. Now it seems to take several to MANY tries to get out any sentence starting with I and other starting phrases as well tho the word I seems to have the most issues. I have gotten him to slow down a little but it doesnt always help. I emailed his OT and speech therapists so hopefully someone can come out and see if we have a new problem arising or just a small bump in the road. My biggest fear is that as everyone pulls out and stops the home visits julian will end up backsliding and then we are stuck trying to get a school district that I am not happy with anyhow to do services.

on a different note..

julian is estatic that his birthday is finally nearing *lol* he keeps breaking out in happy birthday song.. and telling folks its his birthday :P I think we will do it at the local park and do a construction theme so the kids can play in the sand box and stuff and I will do buckets/shovels/dump trucks for goodie bags :) I can't believe he is almost 3!!!
