The annual family holiday letter was completed and packed into this year’s batch of Christmas cards, but I wanted to post it to the web site in case anyone who isn’t on our holiday mailing list would like to know what we were up to this year.

Toddlers can’t always pronounce words that they use frequently, so they go with nicknames instead. In our house, “Grandma” has always been “Ooma”, at least until they can say the right word. Aiden said “Ooma” for the longest time, and now Gavin calls her “Ooma” as well. ...

The boys went back to pre-school today. Although Gavin went to a few sessions with Aiden last year, this will be his first whole semester in preschool. He’s very excited.

They are really big on academics (Aiden recognizes and names almost every letter in the alphabet now) and they send home all sorts of crafts that Aiden builds there. I was...

A year ago, our son Aiden was barely speaking at all. His vocabulary consisted of about a dozen words and we were teaching him sign language to compensate for his lack of speech. He was diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech and we worried that he would never speak properly. When he turned three, we negotiated with NISEC...
