A great Speech Therapy Session

Ahhhh, the work is paying off. LaQuita and Preston had a great session yesterday

They did some fun games, where there was a lot of interaction and some sensory stimulation that Preston really responded to. He was sitting on the couch and LaQuita would act like she was going to sit on him, but she would actually, be laying back on him. He would PULL her back to lay on him! He would ask her for more and they both giggled a lot. Would have been a GREAT video to upload here but that was about the time I realized my camera was BROKEN! ACK!!! And you all know me and my camera….so that was a bit upsetting….But I did get this picture since it’s really the viewfinder that is broken.

Also, LaQuita was getting Preston to identify pictures on flash cards. He did GREAT. He identified truck, car, baby, dog, cat, apple and ? one other….She would hold the card up and say “What’s this” and he would answer! He did that for several minutes and did very well at it. Finally when they were done, he took the flash cards and was holding them up to ME and saying “DAT?” (What’s that?) He was playing “Speech Pathologist”!!! It was SO cute and such a milestone. He also said "apple" nearly PERFECTLY.
It was a great session.

At dinner last night we were all sitting at the kitchen table and watching the bumble bees swarm around the back bushes. They are very aromatic. When they would go away, he would look at me and shrug his shoulders, lift his hands in the air and say “Air Dough?” (Where did they go?) It was GREAT. We did that for probably 10 minutes. The interaction was so fun. It was just a great day for speech all around!
