Jakes First Day Sking






















Sometimes when I go skiing I see 3 year old kids trying to ski and I am just blown away that they are trying to ski. I think that it is so cute. Well this was Jakes first change to WOW everyone. Matt had a free pass to the Canyons and decided to take Jake. It ended up being just $10 bucks to rent Jakes ski equipment. Matt wanted to take Jake just to see how he liked it. I thought either two things would happen: he would LOVE it or say "I want to go bye bye." He ended up saying "I want more." He also had a hard time with waiting in line for the chair. He would through a mini tantrum and say "I want more." I guess more skiing, who knows. When they were on the chair lift he would see people wreak and he would say "ugh oh" and when he would ski with Matt he kept saying "wee." Matt skied with him by holding underneath his arms and had Jake between his skies. The original plan was to take him on 2-3 runs but he ended up staying the entire day. By the end of the day he fell asleep on the gondola. I am so glad that he had fun with his dad.
I have decided to get Jake tested on his speech just becuase I am a perinoid mom. I feel like he isn't learning new words as fast as he should. It doesn't help that I watch 2 other little boys in my daycare that are actually younger than him that are way more vocal than he is. People have told me that he is just fine, I just want to be sure. Jake understands everything that I say, but when it comes to repeating words he just says "da". Da this da that. He really isn't trying very hard. He is just really slow when it comes to talking which makes it really hard on Mom and Dad because he is almost 3 and it is still like we are trying to communicate with a 2 year old. For example
"Shoe shoe shar": car, truck, tractor
"Shoes": this is for shoes and juice, sounds exactly the same
'Teresa": Mom and Dad, he doesn't call us mamma or dada he calls us both Teresa
Diddy: cat
Bobo: dog
Neigh Neigh: Aiden
So we are really frusterated becuase it is really hard to communicate with him. It would just be nice to have a conversation with him.
