Speech Therapy
We had a little bit of progress today for the first time in what seems like a long time. We tried food as a motivator, and surprise, surprise, that worked for our little guy! He’d do lots of stuff to get another bite of Daddy’s homemade sourdough bread. He’s still not vocalizing a whole lot for the therapist, though while they were playing with a wind-up puppy dog he did try panting like a dog when she did. And he’s more willing to let her touch his hands to show him how to make different signs than he was before. He learned the sign for “eat” really quickly today, and he kind of picked up “bread” and “block” today, too. He’s more willing to look at me and immitate the signs I’m making than the therapist, which I guess is just fine since I’m with him all the time.
Maybe we will get to words one of these days. It would be nice.

I’m picturing the Agent one day painting these beautiful murals that words can’t describe, then looking at you and saying, “See?”
