Jer's First Speech Therapy Session

Today Kristin, Jeremiah's speech therapist from Birth to 3, came over. She and Jeremiah played in (not with, but in) the blocks. They scrambled the blocks with their hands until she said "Stop!" and then Jeremiah waited until she said "Go!" to start scrambling them again. He also put blocks back into our box when she said "In!"

Then we got out some wheat and scooped and poured and found alligators and dinosaurs lurking underneath...Isaac helped. Maybe Isaac won't help us during speech next time, but only between sessions.

This week we'll be working on "more." We'll be working on eye contact and either a gesture or movement, possibly a sound, to demonstrate that he wants more of anything. Apple slices, blocks, crackers, bubbles, spinning, running, bouncing. We'll also be working on "Go!" That one will be fun...fun things go.
