Success!

T has been going to Speech Therapy since November 2011.  When he first started the Speech Therapist seemed very concerned about his speech.  We obviously did also since I initiated the therapy on my own. Our pedatrician wasn't as concerned as I was but I just felt he wasn't on the same level with his speech as his friends.  The ped. said it was because he is so advanced physically and usually boys that develop physically will be later speaking, etc.  He has always been great at climbing, pushing, heaving, etc but everything I read said that he should have a vocabulary of 50 plus words at 2 years old.  He maybe had 20 words and I was including sounds when I counted his words.  We started going in November once a week to Ms. Holly (which T finally started saying her name and pronounces it Ms. Hottee) she really likes  him!  Ha!  He has made leaps and bounds with his progression.  I'm sooo excited for him.  He is imitating everything I say now (which can be tricky-I have several stories) and saying his words so good.  I'm very thankful for Ms. Holly and the opportunity to go.  We are gonna take a break this summer and his last session was Friday.  She said that he was meeting all of his goals that she set for him. He now can say all of the names of his choo-choo's that he has known all along but couldn't get them out!  We will come back in the fall and make sure that our p,b, and m sounds are good (that's our homework for the summer). Yay T!

Here are a few of T's sayings lately:
I do, Daddy...I do
I'm so dizzy (in the cutest, country voice ever)
he tells us to wait or that he's busy
if we are pulling into a restaurant or somewhere he wants to go he will say...I want to go riiiight there
I want to seep with my mommie


Love my boy!
