summer is my most favorite time of year, the time when I'll get everything done that I've been ignoring the entire school year, my life will be in order, everything will be in order and organized and maybe I'll craft things for my walls and make some new Thai food recipes. And paint my whole house. And landscape everything outside. And this project and that project.

Except, summer is just as busy as the school year - but in a different way.

I still work at my per diem job but I pick up more shifts. So I work about 2 days a week (some weeks only 1 day, some weeks 3 days). Also now that it's august, I'm part time at school... getting ready for the new school year. And chasing after Callum is seriously time consuming. He is so so so so so busy, and destroys everything. You can't take your eyes off of him.

He's still speech delayed. His speech therapist put in to have him evaluated for OT (occupational therapy). She said "speech is the finest of the fine motor skills" and OT can help with that. Especially if his issue is neuromotor (issue between his brain and physically forming words with his mouth). Also she thinks he may have some sensory issues. The way he throws and scatters everything, is constantly moving, etc etc. I'm tired of talking about it. I guess they're very backlogged with OT eval requests, so who knows when he'll actually get the eval.
