I identify strongly with the following quote from this post: "Children are wonderfully wonderful but they are also bottomless gulleys of sucking need..."The Weekly Procrastination Update
With the 2 additional hours of CEUs I managed to get this week I now need 10 more in the next 12 days... Hmm. I don't seem to be gaining on this situation.The Weekly Celebration
Four years ago, in the wee hours of the morning, following 19 hours of labor, we welcomed our 8 pound, 6 ounce firstborn into this world. We joined all the other parents who have experienced this profound transformation.In the four years since then he has grown from a helpless (and rather incessantly noisy) infant to an amazing young boy (still incessantly talking). He loves cars, tools, building things, fixing things, and destroying things. He loves petting a kitten and watching her purr. He takes pride in being a big brother and loves his sister's company. He can read three-letter words, write his name, and will listen happily to any story. He carries a tune nicely and loves to sing for an audience or just to himself. He began preschool this year and is doing amazingly well there.
I am simultaneously excited about what the next year will bring, intimidated by the challenges it will hold, sad at how fast the time will go by, and curious about the little boy he will be when he turns five. Raising a child is such an adventure.
SpeehPathology.com - yes, it's $99/year but you can blow through a bunch of the text-based courses pretty fast and listen to audio course whenever you want (plus pause them when you need to put out a fire). I started a coupd of years ago when I was near the end of my ASHA 3-year period and only had 5 of 30 hours!
ReplyDeleteThat's actually exactly what I'm using. :-) It's a decent value. My annual membership is up in 12 days so I'm trying to get these before then so I can wait till then end of next year to renew.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip though. If I didn't already know about them I would definitely want to.
