A Day Off But We’re Still Working
Bill has today off. Woohoo! I got to sleep in till 9 (which any parent knows is super late since Will got up at 5 am which is slightly better than the 4 am yesterday). I got to dream about flats to rent in Leeds and whatever else fit my fancy. (I don’t really remember my dreams, so who knows what I really dream about. The only one I still remember was not a flat rental in Leeds — I dreamt I had miscarriage when I was pregnant with Will. To this day, it still freaks me out).
Whoops, a little off topic there. LOL. Seriously though, Bill got it in his head that we are cleaning the house today. All of it. Every single room. He’s been in the kitchen for about an hour or so now cleaning (though there’s no way it would have taken me that long but whatever). He still hasn’t mopped though I do think he’s swept. I am suppose to be cleaning (shhhhh that I’m doing this instead). We thinks we should have a little get together tomorrow for the 4th even though it’s suppose to pour. So needless to say, I’ll probably not be here much longer because I have a living room to clean.
How are you spending your 4th?

Brand New and Sparkly
Have you figured out what the surprise is? LOL We are still tweaking this new theme, so if anything is funky, please let me know. I’ve been chomping at the bit for a while now so we are releasing while it’s a work in progress. Though it is almost done, and I love it!
What do you think?
How to ask for help . . .
Something we have been struggling with is if Will is behind in his speaking. I’ve talked about it on Twitter and to my friends, but not on here yet. We definitely know he is behind. I mean we aren’t expecting him to say “hey mom, take me to a musical instrument shop” or “buy electric guitar“. However, he’s only got about 10 – 15 words. He’s two. Depending on where I read, he should have 30 – 50 words. We aren’t even close to that.
It’s hard. Madison was always ahead of her milestones. She also talked early and a lot, so it has been very hard for us to gauge. The turning point for me is that my mom and Bill’s mom have both mentioned several times to us that he doesn’t talk. He also does something very odd with his mouth. You know how Popeye talks out of the side of his mouth. Will does that a lot. He also makes that face when he’s not talking. I can’t tell if it’s a bad habit or if there is a problem. I do have to add that he is slightly tongue tied, so I don’t know if that has anything to do with it either.
We have a wellness visit set up on July 13th for him (and a school physical for Madison). I will be definitely asking for a referral for services. Bill thinks he will grow out of it and catch up. My thoughts are to get a professional look at him, and let them determine whether we have a problem.
If anybody has any experience with anything like this, I would love to hear your experience. Any advice would be helpful too!

I’ve got a surprise coming
Before anybody jumps to any conclusions, no I’m not pregnant (LOL. I just know that’s my first guess). I do know that my sidebars are all funky right now, but that’s part of the surprise that is on the horizon. Don’t worry — it’s a good thing. I won’t effect my my credit report or my credit rating. LOL Well, it shouldn’t unless I forget to pay the person who’s helping do this.
I’ve seen a sneak peak so far, and it looks awesome. We are so close, and I am so excited to be able to show you all what we’ve been working on for a couple of weeks here! (I’m pretty sure you’ve guessed at this point what the surprise is!)
