I am GRATEFUL for the progress JR is making!

Gratitude Journal Entry #90

He's been taking speech for about a month and a half now and he just had a session last Thursday and he's making some progress. Before the speech therapist would try and get him to point to things and name them but he wouldn't and now he will go up just randomly to things and point and say the things, like he went up to danny boy and said "Baby," I was so proud of him for making this progress!! Now we are working on getting him to tell us what he wants when he wants them, that has been our biggest frustration, ugh!! He just cries and gets super frustrated, but the speech therapist uses that to her advantage, if that makes any sense, she's real patient and then after he throws his fit and out of frustration for him he will finally blurt out the item that he wants and then he gets a big reward of us all clapping and saying yeay! Poor guy I feel for him, I wish he didn't have to go through this it's hard to watch sometimes. He's such a sweet boy and his nursery leaders just love him because he's so animated and he is! Don't you just love his apron? He gets so messy that he has to wear this when he eats, no bib would cover all the mess that he makes, especially with cereal!
