Many of you know that Madison has been in speech therapy for over a year now. While she has made progress, I feel like she should be farther along than she is. Her speech therapist said she is making slow, steady progress. Better than nothing, right?
Well the past couple of weeks she has been doing so good! If you prompt her to say something, she usually at least tries - even though a lot of times the sounds aren't necessarily the same. She really has been saying more on her own, and that makes me so happy! She also does some signs (like for more, all done, open, I want, please, thank you, eat, etc.) The other day she said "I want IPad please!" Even though she was asking for the iPad, she said I want together & then IPad please together. She has also been asking for it unprompted now.
Tonight we were looking at a book & she tried to say butterfly. It didn't sound exactly like it should, but she said all 3 syllables together! Yay!
She's also trying to count & say her abc's! She especially loves saying five, I. O, and Y.
I know to a lot of people this may not seem like much, but Madison's expressive communication has been (and is) really behind. So even the small victories are so exciting! And I love seeing how proud she is when she knows she has done something new!
