Flaming June's Love

Can you see the intensity in his eyes. He is not talking just yet but he is definately verbal. He can babble, and is animated and expressive. His words are missing the first few syllables but I know what he is saying. I asked the therapist if she saw progress, she told me speech comes slow. Then reassured me that he is goingto be fine just be patient and enjoy every sound he does make since I am lucky to have him at all. I agree. I am lucky to have anything at this point. I have been having images of my best friend MaryEllen and her death as slow and painful as it was. I miss her and am coming up on the one year anniversary on the tenth. I gave her a bath the night of new years and that was the last time I think she was really lucid. I can look back on the blog from last year and check but really... what does it matter. Enjoy the pics of the boy and think happy thoughts of him and send some "talk to mommy karma" his way. Love to all.

Why is this year going to be different? By, Suzituzi This year is going to be different because I am going to make it different. I am going to be less of a procrastinator I will do the things that need to be done when I see them.' I am going to keep up on my laundry, now that the wash and dry are on the first floor there is no excuse for piles anywhere. I am gong to be more attentive to others opinions, maybe not their needs as much as I do now but their opinions I need to handle. I am going to read more than I do. I am going to keep our new home organized. There is enough storage space and attica nd basement so clutter should be a thing of the past. I want to be a better mom
