At Olivia's 2 year well child doctor visit I expressed some concern to our family doctor regarding her speech. We visited about it for a little while and then he examined Olivia and discovered that she had an ear infection (other than being crabby she had displayed no symptoms). This started a journey of 4 (known) ear infections in 2 months and a set of tubes in her ears.
The tubes have been in her ears for a little more than 3 weeks and I can already see an improvement in her speech. She is quicker to repeat what you say and I think that daily she says words that I can't remember he saying before. Needless to say, I am thrilled!
I know that our other two said things that I found darling, but Olivia has a way of shorting words and creating her own little "language" that I find just darling. Here are a few of her "words" and their translation.
Moo-Moo - not a cow, but a movie
My Pill-Pill - not her medication, but her Pillow Pet
Aa-Aa - her little stuffed sock monkey that she received for Christmas
I know that there are many more, but of course I can't come up with them now. Maybe I will think of them later and have to add them! :)
