BIG, BIG..>>>>VERY BIG<<<< NEWS

I have made a big leap in my speech. I can now say "ssss". It is actually how I'm trying to say "hor-SSSS-e" (horse) and this is a very big and new sound for me. But that is not all. I have had another speech milestone checked off my list. I can now blow. I can blow in a whistle or just blow to make you bat your eyes. But I can blow. It took me a long time to figure that one out.

For most people, this sounds so silly. But these two hugely incredible achievements have come after literally months (almost a year) of some very hard work. The first of these accomplishments was to blow and I have actually done this in my last Speech Therapy session. But the "sss" sound came when Daddy was playing Horse with me. I signed "horse" and made the "ssss" sound. I can now do this on a somewhat regular basis.

Mommy is so proud of these two big accomplishments. Hooray for me. Got any whistles? Maybe I can blow out a candle.
