Brond...

I'm officially BROND. I can't be called blond because my brown roots are halfway down my head and I still have enough blond to not be brunette. I'm trying to hold out another week or two so until then I guess I will look WT. We went to Monkey Joes yesterday and met a new friend who had 2 blond boys one older than Brock and the other younger than him. He looked like he should have been part of their family...the missing link. They bonded instantly...running around together and surprisingly they spoke "Brock".

We had his first speech evaluation this week and they said his vocabulary seems to be average but his articulation is about 10 months behind. I guess if you've been hearing words as if you were underwater you would be behind too. His tubes in his ears have really helped and he's getting better everyday.

I've tossed around the idea of going back brunette but now I realize I have to stay blond so Brock doesn't think he's adopted. And by staying blond I can get away with things like putting John's wallet through the wash and putting the ice cream in the refrigerator not the freezer. Not like that happened today or anything...

TOO funny. You look good no matter what. But I love your lingo. Mason and Brock are quite similar. Mason had trouble with aricultion too. Speech therapy was well worth it. We get an eval. in aug. to see if he needs furhter help with articulation. As of now he is testing above in 2 areas and normal in 1 area (articulation). GOOD LUCK! It will come.

Whatever, you always look amazing. I would rather have brown roots than you know what roots, which I totally have. I miss you guys! I lost my phone several days ago so I haven't been able to call you or text you. I am in Baltimore so I can't get a new phone for a few days. But when I get one, I will call you and we can catch up!

You're so funny... sad that I have done all those things you listed like washing wallets, phones, and putting random things in the fridge and I am not blonde, not even close. And your post about your friends leaving made me cry... I am the same at goodbyes:) I'll let you drive me to the hospital when I have my baby if that would help.....

I think Presty might be right there with little Brocky. The doctor already referred me to a speech place and he is only 18 months. Glad you met a new friend!!

I was thinking about getting blond highlights again...

I don't think I have the time to keep up on it anymore though. I think I would just end up a brond as you say.

I don't think I've ever seen you as a brunette though?
