So I immediately started feeling like I had failed some how...19months in a I fucked my kids up...wtf...I told this to Teri and she said she felt the same way...But the therapist said no that is not the case, the reason they are behind was because, well, we just provided things to them instead making them "ask" for them. Basically we know their different verbal cues, like I am hungry fucktard!! feed me, or dude, I got a load in my diaper, need a little help here!!..But they did not have to say anything. So they just "learned" if I grunt this way I get this, or if I "un...un...(sound they make)" I get this...
So now we need to encourage them to "use words" instead of gestures and grunts...She said there comprehension and problem solving skills were very advanced for there ages and that the kids should catch up pretty quickly with a couple of months of speech therapy...
So I guess this is the next step...Damn it...We have been doing so much to make sure we did not do to much of this, or not enough of that...WTF...I guess you just do what you can, the best that you can.
Still sucks, still feel like I missed/fucked up something.
