Oh how I love my sweet little Brecken! He has his issues but I wouldn't trade him for anything!
He had his 4 year check-up today. Physically, he is very healthy (except for some constipation problems that we are working on - fun times). He isn't growing as quickly as his big brothers but he is still doing well. His talking is better but he still has a long way to go. We are just so happy he is doing better and is such a happy boy!

We just got SPEECHercise for Ella (and Libby loves it too). It strengthens the jaws and lips to help kids articulate words correctly. The first couple songs are so simple they give the kids instructions first and then have them do the exercise to music (e.g. open your mouth as big as you can when they say open, close when they say close and it gets faster). There is also tongue pushups, one where you alternate between kisses and smiles, etc. Then it gets into different vowels and consonants. We only got it a couple days ago but my kids BEG for it. I did the first 4-5 songs with them and my tongue had a workout! It also comes with parent info sheets about articulation, song lyrics, and I think other activities on the CD. I paid $15 at Lakeshore Learning but saw that it is only $9 on Amazon. Worth. every. penny.
Hurray for progress! Here's to hoping for another great year!
