I know I haven't been the best at posting lately. We have a lot going on. So here is a quick update on what we've been up to:
Miles is sick AGAIN!! He had a 103 temp on Sunday and a 104 on Monday prompting me to take him in to the doctor, which prompted his fever to go away precisely at the moment I paid the $20 co-pay. It's just a virus. Apparently the charge for that diagnosis is exactly $20 as of late.
Outside of being sick, Miles started his swim lessons last weekend. He didn't take to the class all that well, which is typical for him doing anything structured for the first time, but the pool time afterward was a huge hit. If it wasn't for the cold, we were planning a play date there this week.
He is doing really well with potty training. We can't complain. He goes in the potty almost all the time except at night. He can take off his own pull-up now to go and most of the time you don't know he's gone until he comes out yelling "I did it!!" He has also been asking if he can go when we are out running errands. We are very happy with all his progress, even though we figure being fully trained, meaning at night as well, is still a while away. Most days he gets to wear big boy underwear, but I have had him a pull-up again since he got sick......just in case. He's such a big boy now.
Miles has improved greatly with his speech. His articulation is still poor, or at least not where we'd want it to be, but he uses complete sentences most of the time and is trying really hard. His speech has been cut down to 2 times a week for the summer, but will pick up again in the fall.
As far as his ears, he gets his CAT scan in a month to see if he is a candidate in either ear for atresia repair. I can't believe he is 2.5 already and that his surgeries could start in less than a year. It seems like just yesterday we were finding out about our options and wishing they weren't so far away. Now we can't manage to slow time down.
Lastly, we finally committed to buying a house here. We close in less than 10 days. I won't post any pictures though, just until everything is finally. We are moving right across the street to a house just like ours except with a 3 car garage instead of 2 and without a pool. But inside it is exactly the same. So at least we know where everything goes already. We got an amazing deal that we couldn't pass up, so it looks like we're staying in Florida for awhile. Thank goodness for air-conditioning and indoor climate control.
