The assessment/services are FREE and the peace of mind is priceless (in my humble opinion). If it turns out everything is fine, you can cross that worry off your list...if it turns out Bun needs some assistance, earlier is better. You can email me separately if you want- I hope this doesn't come across pushy! jtvent02 at yahoo dot combluedaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00501263462151943825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-6784459776031581582009-06-20T08:07:28.324-05:002009-06-20T08:07:28.324-05:00I've missed you this week, as I have had no ti...I've missed you this week, as I have had no time/desire for reading blogs. <br /><br />So glad you are liking the Shredding. It is the perfect workout when you have no time for something more, but I have to admit that I usually feel like I am slacking if that is all I do. I've just become too used to hour long classes.<br /><br />Walking--my Buddy (5.5 now) did not walk until he was 20 months old! He just was not interested. We were waiting on an evaluation from the Early Childhood people when he finally got it. Now he is fine, but he did take his sweet time. And Butterfly only just started walking in these last two weeks. But I know how it feels to worry, and I know you have had experience with this, so I'll be praying for your peace of mind.<br /><br />Jealous of the potty training. Monster (4 in September) continues to show no interest in the idea. I know his time will come, but it is hard to be patient. I'm tired of paying for diapers. I wouldn't mind the extra money in my food budget, you know?<br /><br />And cheerful obedience is always at the top of my list of things to work on.<br /><br />I wish we lived in the same place so we could meet for coffee and talk about these things in person.nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605426195521274662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-41861844581557916572009-06-19T18:34:19.667-05:002009-06-19T18:34:19.667-05:00First, thanks for the tip- that usually works here...First, thanks for the tip- that usually works here as long as I don't try to actually leave the floor they are on. Secondly, it is great to be like the Waltons. Thirdly, Annaka was just a little over 15mo. when she actually walked on her own. Fourthly (is that a word?) Right there with you on the TV- we when finally crash at night, we have taken to watching Seinfeld DVDs which I think we know by heart anyway. And Lastly, I think I am going to join the shredding band wagon when we return from the beach (yeah, I am going to let the bathing suit push me over the edge).<br />Have a great weekend!<br />Mirabella MOMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-16541810033895177982009-06-19T16:58:28.063-05:002009-06-19T16:58:28.063-05:00Logan will be dropped off for potty training schoo...Logan will be dropped off for potty training school in 5 minutes...call me when he is ready to be picked up.schnecksvillemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04864015486091653744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-13234036402641848172009-06-19T14:33:18.215-05:002009-06-19T14:33:18.215-05:00Two babies in my family (my cousin's kids) wal...Two babies in my family (my cousin's kids) walked pretty late too. 17 and 18 months. But I can understand it's gotta be hard, worrying about when it'll happen, and why. At least he can't run across a busy parking lot?!<br /><br />And about anonymous blogging, I end up liking myself better for not being able to voice any truly negative thoughts about others. It feels like rising above the fray. Or just being too wussy to face my enemy. (Enemy is too strong a word choice there...) Either way, I'm glad to know that I might need to watch my step every now and then. <br /><br />Yes, Lost, come back. And ABC? Why on God's green earth do you see fit to wait until JANUARY to put on the best show?

It's good to have accountability - and we should always remember if we wouldn't say it out loud, we shouldn't blog it! (My grandma, my parents, even my doctor's wife reads my blog!)<br /><br />I really understand about having one child with problems "coloring" how you look at other children. My last baby had some medical problems - and I had them check the newest addition for them. She seems to have the same challenges, but I wonder if ALL of my children had it (it's high blood pressure) and I just didn't know with the others? Maybe ignorance is bliss... my 2 yo doesn't talk so I'm sure later I'll be obsessing about language development with the new baby, too!<br /><br />That said, trust your instincts.

I use my own name also on my blog. I've also accepted the consequences also, especially when I go back to work since I do give opinions on controversial political issues. It does keep me in check, that even if I do write something I don't go into a rant I stay to any factual information I may find and apply it to the concept I'm trying to express. I also make my mother-in-law a friend on my Facebook page for the same reason. <br /><br />I just read this week <a href="http://medianation.blogspot.com/2009/06/media-nation-comments-policy.html" rel="nofollow">from a media blog,</a> here where I live, <br /><br />" if you choose anonymity, you should ask yourself whether it's truly necessary (i.e., for work-related reasons) or if, instead, you are using anonymity so that you can express opinions you wouldn't want to see attached to your name."<br /><br />I find myself only to go to bloggers who utilize their own identity now.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852754398007790428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-23361350104051833982009-06-19T09:03:58.766-05:002009-06-19T09:03:58.766-05:00Enjoyed, as always.

It always helped if they didn't actually <i>know</i> they were walking.

I would like to say, however, that Tigercub began walking at 9 months and has now progressed to climbing on everything...he now goes down the steps standing up and his favorite passtime is climbing on the ottoman and leaping onto the chair, it scares me to death but there is no stopping him. So, maybe, the Lord is just blessing you with a few extra months of sanity (and I do use that term loosely--no one with 4 children can be fully sane, can they?).<br /><br />Love the song Uncloudy day! Love to sing the old gospel songs, Love to have singing sessions with the fam. But we are SO unlike the Waltons. <br /><br />I would also like to give you hope about the weather. I was about to start building an ark around here, but the sun finally peeked out and now we are whining about it being 85 degrees at 8:30 in the morning, there is hope!<br /><br />Obedience--love it in my kids...not so great at it myself!

Flabby batwings be gone! I'll let you know tomorrow if I love you or hate you. No pressure.<br /><br />Also, Clingmonkey was not walking at 17 months either- a step here or there but that was it. I called the ped twice because I was worried given Lil P's developmental history. Then she fell off the bed while I was changing sheets and broke her wrist (bad mom award). In the ER as they were splinting her wrists, she quickly realized she couldn't bend it for crawling. Within 45 minutes, she was walking everywhere in the ER. All other motor skills were WNL. Weird, huh? Point- don't worry about Bun.<br /><br />The Waltons fought off camera?!
