Carson's appointment updates

So we had Carson's birth to 3 evaluation Thursday and it went well. It was like a pre-evaluation to see if he qualified for the program, and which areas he needed help in. He for sure is getting a speech evaluation done and some work with using utensils. He chooses not to use his fork or spoon so that is something we really need to work on. I should be getting a call this week to set up the "real" speech evaluation and then from there a course of treatment.  I am happy that we are going forward with the programs and am excited to watch Carson's speech grow! 
Friday we had Carson's audiology apportionment to test his hearing. It was fun just being alone with Carson for awhile. While we were waiting at the office carson was playing with my lock screen on my phone so I kept saying "where did Carson go?" And he started to copy me saying "goooo!" I was so proud of him! He also has been using "no" correctly around the house. Anyway back to the hearing test. Great news he passed! She did some tests and he has a little bit of negative pressure in his right ear. Normal is 0- (-)150 and Carson was (-)180. Horrible is (-)400. So just out of normal range. He is getting over a cold so the dr figured that was the reason he was slightly over. She was not concerned at all-- and neither was my cousin who just graduated and is an audiologist :) I'm so relieved his hearing is fine. I didn't think there was an issue, but with a family history you just can't be sure. So now we wait for the birth to three to call and get started on speech :)
