Today Dawson woke up with a little fever so I decided I would stay home with him today. First of all, it got me out of having to go to work, and secondly its been a while since Dawson and I have gotten to hang out alone without a bunch of silly girls around us. We had a lot of different things going on today which made it a lot of fun.
This morning Dawson had his speech evaluator from Early Intervention come by. It was a good session and we got to talk about what all has been going on with Dawson developmentally and some speech concerns that I had. She agrees that he needs to be seen at least once a month just to make sure he continues to progress but said there was no need for us to be concerned with his speech. She said he is doing what a 15 month old should be doing and feels that his speech will continue to develop just fine. She did recommend that we start some basic sign language with him. She said it will help bridge what he is wanting, with being able to say it. She brought out some bubbles to blow and we taught him in about 10 min how to sign for " More" ( which is bringing all the fingers together) Not only was he able to sign it, he would point at her and said "more" a few times.
Tonight Allison and I were working with him signing for "bite" After a few times he would point at his mouth and would say " bite bite." This kids a smart one and so far the signing is going really well.
After a little nap it was time for occupational therapy and he did really well just as he always does. One full hour of therapy with no fussing.
Then to cap off the day, It snowed tonight. Allison and I have been planning on going out tonight and doing some Christmas shopping tonight for about a week now. While we were out it started snowing A LOT!! and within an hour there was a couple of inches on the ground and roads. It was kinda neat to be out Christmas shopping during the snow. It never snows here and it really added to festive spirit. We managed to get a lot done and had the stores to ourselves this evening which was really nice.
Dawson has been feeling a lot better the past couple of days and its nice to have our sweet little boy and his good mood back.
We hope everyone is doing well and thanks for looking in on us.
We love you
Jeff and Allison

Glad that things are working out as far as the therapies go. That is awesome that he picked up on the signs so quickly & did the words with them! I'm jealous of your snow. I'm surprised it snowed there at all...it never snows in AL! I'm sure it really did make the shopping more fun...almost like out of a movie.
That is cool that you can teach him to sign. He is picking up on that pretty quickly.... such a smart boy.
