Caiti and Jason's Wednesday mornings


So, for a couple months now, Jason has been going to speech therapy once a week.  We are very happy about that because he has since started to wave and has figured out that that is a normal communication for hi and bye!  Yay!  I need to find the song they use for that because it is awesome. 

Anyway, Caiti just started going to speech too, so Michelle and I pack the kids in the car for a long morning at the Speech Therapy office.  Caiti had a great time with Aunt Michelle and her speech therapist, Nora.  I heard them out in the waiting area with Jason, and they kept cheering and telling her good job.  The key with Caiti is to use movement to elicit speech.  She would have to say "Tilt" or "up" or "down" while sitting in the Billibo Chair, and they would follow her request.

Sadly, the Billibo chair wasn't quite so motivating for Jason because he was about ready to fall asleep and super ornery.  Next time, we will have Jason go first and then he can have a little nap during Caiti's time.  :)
