I had my Speech Therapy appointment the other day and I did something wonderful! I vocalized for her! This is HUGE!!!! And you'll never guess who has helped me find my vocal chords....my puppies. Yep. You see, I love to play with my dogs and in order to get their attention, I've discovered that if I scream, they will look at me and I can start playing with them. So while I'm not speaking words yet, I am vocalizing at command which means I do not have Apraxia. I just have some vocal coordination issues to overcome.
But since this revelation, I am becoming more and more vocal. Mommy can stimulate my mouth now and I will vocalize.
I'm also making big strides in my sign language. I recently learned the sign for "drink" and I say "please" just like Mommy taught me. I also an signing "cow", "horse", and "up". So it might take a little longer to talk but I'm certainly getting my point across.
Hooray for me! Come here Puppies! I have something to say to you!
