1. Need Gifts?
--------------------------------------------------------
sharono - 12/19/2011 2:57 pm

 I recently finished a preschool book fair, and I still
 have a lot of great Usborne and Kane Miller books that
 would make wonderful holiday, birthday, or teacher
 gifts. You can look at what I readily have available
 by visiting my online storefront,
 www.SFUsborneBooks.com, and clicking on "Wish Lists" in
 the upper right hand corner of the home page. Under
 "Find a Wish List", type in "Holiday Inventory". It
 should give you a list of titles with the quantities
 that I have on hand. (If you see pictures of the books
 instead, there's a link right above the "sort by" pull
 down bar on the right, which will then show it to you
 as a "list")Do NOT "add to cart" or you'll end up
 purchasing it through my warehouse in Oklahoma, and it
 will NOT get here in time.If you buy 3 or more books,
 and live in the city, I could possibly deliver the
 books to you (depending on schedules). I live near
 CPMC on California and Arguello. And, if you buy 4
 books, I will give you the 5th one FREE (of equal or
 lesser value).Shop early for the best selection. I
 have other titles, which are out of print and no longer
 available as well, so if you're looking for something,
 and I don't have it listed, please email me directly,
 Sharon at SFUsborneBooks.com.Thanks and Happy Holidays!

2. Speech delay question
--------------------------------------------------------
pccp22 - 12/19/2011 12:12 pm

 My boys are 23 months, and not really talking much tho
 they vocalize all the time and their "receptive"
 language is very good (meaning they understand pretty
 much everything). The pediatrician mentioned they are
 "behind" and should be up to 50 or so words. Even with
 stretching how one defines a word, we are coming up
 with only 8 or so words. One of them approximates words
 more than the other and seems to be on the right track,
 tho the other seems shy of talking but has no problem
 yelliing ba ba ba at the top of his lungs. He is whip
 smart and understands complicated instructions but
 doesn't seem to want to risk actually talking. They are
 fraternal twins, and tho I have heard that identicals
 can be delayed, I am not sure about fraternals. Any
 feedback on speech development with your twins at this
 age?

 My boy/girl twins are 3.5. Both were delayed in their
 speech. They didunderstand everything but they simply
 were not speaking the words, norattempting to. The boy
 was more delayed than the girl.At 2.5 years, their
 preschool teacher suggested that I place the boy
 inspeech therapy because she felt that he was further
 behind the girl and wasalso holding the girl back. 
 Although I had him tested and the testindicated that he
 was delayed, I resisted in placing him in speech
 therapywith the rationale that since he is a twin he is
 most likely delayed and hewould catch up.However, when
 he started preschool again this year, the teacher was
 adamantthat he be placed in speech therapy. I also
 began to notice that thedifference in my children's
 speech and that of other children wassignificant when I
 began to spend more time with other children in
 theirage range.I finally placed him in speech therapy
 and he is doing amazing. I now wishthat I would have
 followed the teacher's instructions a year ago as
 hisprogress is really incredible.My son's speech
 therapist is Jennifer Lopez at Just Kids Learning
 Center(415) 775-5511. I would contact her or another
 speech therapist and askthem when they would suggest
 either a screening or speech therapy. Therewere
 multiple boys in our 2's preschool class who were in
 speech therapylast year and it made a significant
 difference. I had Jennifer do aninitial screening and
 then he began speech therapy. She has done anexcellent
 job and has also been very honest about how often he
 needs tocome and the length of time etc..Hope that
 helps.SusanOn Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 12:14 PM,
