Toddler Toys- Paxton's Current Favorites
Entertaining a 2 year old can sometimes be a challenge. They get distracted so easily and move on to the next activity (or mischief). For the past few months these toys have been at the top of his entertainment list! He can play with each of these for several minutes (haha) at a time.
My Child Wears Glasses
I have gotten so many questions about how I knew my son needed glasses so I thought I would just do a blog post about it in case you find yourself (or someone you know) in the same boat.
When Paxton was 18 months old he was still in daycare. He was getting sick what seemed like EVERY week. We could not keep that child well. In November of 2019 he got RSV. That was the scariest moment of my life so far. I literally slept on the floor of his room just to listen to him breathing. As soon as he was better he had to go get his 18 month vaccines. That next day after his vaccines I started to notice his eyes going crossed
My Child has a Speech Delay
You know what sucks? Baby milestones. No I don’t mean when your child reaches a milestone, that doesn’t suck. I mean the chart at the doctor’s office that says “oh your child is 6 months? They should be eating now.” “You have a 4 month old? They should be sitting up on their own.” “18 month old? Ok at 10 words at LEAST by now.” I mean THOSE milestones. Those suck. Because what if my 6 month old isn’t eating? Do I have a broken baby? What if my 18 month old isn’t saying 10 words? Are they stupid? NO! But man, those thoughts sure do go through your head don’t they?
My child is 2 now. And he has zero words. That is now considered a speech delay.
