Speech Therapy

Well today it was brought to my attention again that my daughter needs speech therapy. I definitely realize this fact but it is difficult. I know know one wants anything to be wrong with their child and the fact that my first child was ahead on everything that makes it even more hard. I do also realize that I CAN NOT compare my children but at the same time it's still difficult. I had Emma evaluated back in December and their main concern was her speech. They said that she was at a 50% delay at the time and that she definitely need some speech. Well I wasn't going to do anything at the time because we were having tubes put in her ears and I figured that once she started hearing better that it would just come...this is what her dad thought and still thinks today. She has babbled more than she ever did before but I know from watching her that it is frustrating not only to me but to her because she does try and just can't get anything out. I'm not sure anymore...I do think I just have to bite the bullet and call back again. Her account is closed once again so I will have to reopoen it and then I'm sure have her reevaluated. I'm not sure how that works though. Josh wants to wait until she turns 2 in May and then do something about it because he's hoping that we won't have to do anything about it and words will just start coming out. I understand what he's thinking but I do think she might need something else. Yes I know my daughter will eventually talk she might be 3 or 4 but that's the thing then she will be so far behind I think it will be hard for her to catch up. I'm not sure how long the therapy would even be. I know from the scale I received how much it would be per month but I'm not sure if insurance covers that or not? Any thoughts and opinions would be great...
So yes this has been on my mind once again all afternoon and night. When I got off work tonight I had to go straight to Children's Home and Aide Society and so the child care there for a couple hours so needless to say I'm quite tired right now. The children were pretty good tonight...I had a 3 year old little girl that was extremely tired though and all she wanted was a cookie all night long. I wasn't able to get her one though and so she screamed off and on all night. Anyway so long for now...
