Well today ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) came over to evaluate Ethan. Ethan is 2 1/2 (29 months) and doesn't really talk. The extent of his vocabulary is dada/daddy, mama, uh-oh, no, peh (please), beh-beh (blanket), deh (cup) and thats about it. So anyways, after about 2 hours of evaluation, they determined that Ethan's cognitive skills are at an 18 month level and his language skills are at a 15 month level! So they'll come back in two weeks to start speech therapy and we'll also be seeing an ear doctor in Amarillo in a couple weeks. ECI will set that appointment up for us. Just wanted to let you all know.

Didn't Brian not start talking until he was like four?
Mommy said he didn't start talking till he was 3.
So, I guess I'm a li'l out of the "loop"...Is Ethan okay? Why doesn't he talk well?
And who is Brian?
Talk to me, Natalie! :)
That must be a nerve racking thing to go though. I'm glad you guys are looking at professionals for advice! That is so great! I hope that everything turns out ok!
I'm so excited to come and take care of my Great Nieces and Nephew!
