In other news...Nico seems to have adjusted well this past week to his new school. I am not going to lie, the first week was tough. Partially because Nico does not want to separate from me and partially because he did happen to get sick. Perfect timing as usual. After getting attacked by ants in Houston and just days after starting at school, Nico came down with a fever, an eye infection and a bit of a runny nose. Thankfully, I already had him on antibiotics due to the ant bites. Thus, this past week Nico was feeling great and his teachers said he did very well each day! On the other hand, it is possible that whatever infection or cold Nico had, he passed it on down to his dear old Mommy. I have been miserable, barely making it to work and back, but am very happy that my little man is adjusting. What can I say? My world is not my world anymore; it is Nico's world and if Nico is happy, then I am happy.
Finally, some updates on the speech therapy. Nico has had 5 sessions of therapy and it is going very well. Our big obstacle was determining if it was most productive for me to come in with Nico or leave him alone with the therapist. After he started school, I decided I thought it would best to go in with him. There was already too much separation anxiety going around; why create more? Nico has made lots of progress. He is not about to recite the Emancipation Proclamation, but he is now imitating words or at least approximating them when asked and he has started to say more functional words!
Here are some cute recent photos. Enjoy!
