Feeling under the weather today and I'm home today with DH. Running some errands now and both boys are asleep in the car. But the place we are going is a bit away so I think it will be fine.

Laid low at home today, which G loves. He took a stellar nap. After supper, we went to the big park north of town and saw their Christmas lights. G was sooooo excited. I love that he is loving holidays this year.

H just left today for a 10 day business trip. I'm on call this weekend so we'll either be at my sister's most of the day Saturday and Sunday or she'll bring my niece down to be a mother's helper for me. There's no one else to do on call this weekend so I'm going to tough it out. I took today as my comp day to spend some more time with H and get some sleep to get over my latest cold.
I don't know if I mentioned that one of my coworkers was on medical leave and died suddenly. I missed going to the funeral and feel bad for missing it.
We also had an intake evaluation with Early Intervention. He's borderline in a couple areas, but we're being referred to the school district for evaluation since they start doing transition evaluations at this age. They also do articulation, whereas EI doesn't. DS's pediatrician should have referred us at 18 or 24 months based on EI's criteria for vocabulary, but he seems caught up there. He's just really hard to understand now, so we'll do that evaluation.
seamonster I've been there with the EI and (district) transition meetings. Good luck with it all! I'd say push for a full evaluation of you're told he is boarderline. We were told that at the school screening for N. I should have pushed for the full evaluation but we let it go after two different school screenings. She is doing well though now. She still has some quirks with a few pronunciations and I wouldn't be surprised if she has speech in kindergarten in her future. Just remember you are your child's best advocate and early intervention is so good for future success!!
seamonster also I'm sorry about your coworker and that you are on your own now for a bit. Sounds great that you have your sister nearby to help though!
kartish feel better! lilyelayne sounds like fun; I'm glad G is enjoying the holidays! It gets even better in the years to come! The jaw dropping moments (the "jaw droppers" I like to call it) are priceless.
Today we hung out with my mom and dad. It was nice for the most part but my mom specifically asked to take N to the toy store to pick some things she'd be interested in for birthday (close to christmas) and/or christmas. Then she poo-pooed all of them (or said they were too expensive) and kept trying to push other things that N was not at all interested in. Why do this if you're not going to listen to her. Poor N, who is a sensitive soul, got overwhelmed/frustrated. So we just ended up leaving and my mom will probably not get anything she mentioned.

If he ends up not qualifying for the school district help, we'll do at least some private speech therapy. It's really noticible how the kids in his class who are younger than him are talking pretty clearly and we struggle to understand our own kid.
