Duke has just started speech therapy and we are so excited! He is very active and super independent just wanting to do his own thing. He plays really well on his own and we have our own form of "communication" which includes absolutely no words, but we understand each other. He can hear just fine and responds to commands and understands exactly what is going on around him but like I said without words. The words he currently does know are up, please (pea), chase (ase), cheese (eess), Ma, and other non verbal sounds that we accept as words. This week we met with the speech therapist who comes to our home. Her name is Kathy and I really like her! She gave us an assignment where we would attempt to mimic each other back and forth and see how many times we could go back and forth. She also wanted us to work on the "mmm" sound for more, mine, milk ect. Duke seemed pretty interested in this so we'll see how it goes!
