The sentence "Daddy, I'm pooping" has 5 morphemes...that is quite beyond his age. (look up Brown's morphology). I would dc him now if that would be typical in a language sample. (@ this point, I remind you my degree is in SLP and early childhood was my specialty.)
Well dang our SLP is quitting her practice to head back to a school setting so she has more family time. you should setup shop over here. Could work with noodles kid and ours. :p

They reevaluate him every year ? Or 6 months? We figure it's worth him to stay in until they evaluate him out. They can't just end it on him I think.


On another note I was singing the abc song and dropped something so I stopped. Fuckin kid sang the rest of the song. I didn't even know he knew it..

My kids are now 15 and 13. The 15 yr old is going to 10th grade and is beginning to drive. Its fucking scary as shit having your kid drive you around. Im atheist but say prayers to sky gods when hes driving. He is pretty much recluse from us now. It began around 12-13 and slowly morphed into him moving all his shit down to basement and talking to us once or twice a day when he passes us in the kitchen to get food. The wife is taking the independence kind of harsh, "why is he not talking to us?" "why does he not hang out with us anymore?" But then I ask her, when did you hang out with you parents when you were 15 or 16?

Same shit is happening slowly with the 13 yr old now. The same kid that used to hang out with us and watch shows and movies lust last year is slowly retreating into his room.

That's a challenge - I experienced that a bit more with my daughter simply because we don't have much in the way of common hobbies. She and my wife did have their things, though now that she's in college it's tough on the wife. My son (16) is my mini me, loves video games and sports and would rather play Battlefield, GTA, or Madden with me than most of his friends. He does still do stuff with his friends but he says "sometimes I just can't deal with their crap." I've been his coach in soccer, football and baseball so much he's just used to having me around, I think it's weird for him not seeing me on the field or sideline now.

And he's definitely better than me at FPS now, that round was a fluke. I'm still better at most single player games because I've been playing video games for 35+ years and reaction time is still decent for those.

I don't know what their program rules are, and like I said...if that was typical (read: and consistent) for mlu. I agree, keep him in as long as he is eligible but I am so happy for him and you that he has made such strides!

Yeah, I resist the kids slinking off to their rooms as much as possible. Hasn't been an issue with the oldest girls, but my middle kid wants to do it. There are ways around it. We have family breakfast and dinner every day. There are, of course, exceptions for hockey and soccer, but every time it is possible, we eat all together at the table. Additionally, if they're doing homework on a computer, that happens in a public space, so we end up spending a lot of evenings in the same room, even if not having deep conversations.

I'll take whatever time I can get. Two years and the oldest will be at university.

Hahaha, dude, they are way more contagious than lice. Washing your hands (which I do compulsively ever since working at a chain of porn stores as a young man) doesn't do a whole lot when you can get them by breathing, that's right they go airborne! How awesome. The eggs are so small, over 1,000 can fit on the head of a pin. So... kid running around your house? They are probably just flying all over the place.

It's terrible. You should see the fucking steam cleaning my house has gotten over the last 4 days.

One other stat - its estimated that at any given time, 40-50% of all children in the us are infected with pinworms, with most showing no symptoms and never even knowing. How is that possible? Well, by age 15 most adults have developed an immunity. So, chances are, you've had pinworms at some point in your life, possibly for years, and just never knew. It's gross as shit.

Ont the topic of pinworms, since it is super gross. How does one actually develop an "immunity" to a creature? AFAIK they are not a single cell organism or virus.

Can I gain immunity to other creature, like cats, if I try real hard? Half joking.

Not a fan of cats.

On a related note my daughter is 2.5 and we call her baby girl (insert name here). She now replies that she's not a baby she is big girl (insert name here). It's cute but also makes me a little sad.

When your kids are clones.

My 6 year old now in 1st does NOT want to do homework - wife says "this is you" - I say "sorry" because its absolutely true.

When your 4 year old is like "...we are humans right... we all die... I do not want to die... I do not want my sister to die..."

Onoes Onoes funny thing about the works, they are fairly common, check if your kid is scratching his butt at night time. That is an indication of parasites, some some reason they come out at night.
I had plenty of those growing up.

Now my baby girl is about to turn 3, still no vocabulary, other than calling me "dada" she has very few words for things. She basically communicates by crying. I'm not going to lie.. it fucking sucks. Every-time I meet other kids her age, and I see them talking, it breaks my heart. But onward, that is all you can do.
