Matt can now "go" on "command" when I put him on the potty.  It is fun to watch him concentrate, then smile with pleasure when he starts going. 

He also said, "Hi ya!" (His version of "hi") when he saw the word "hi" at the beginning of YBCR.

Our son has started to be quite inventive with his blocks.  He has started to make rockets and bridges and has amazing stories to go with them!!!

My little guy now understands that he can only do one thing at a time. When asked if he wanted to eat, he said "Not right now, I'd like to play on the playground." He's also started saying "Maybe later."

It cracks us up!!

Colin blew his first bubble today. Boy was he tickled. He laughed so hard. It was so cute.

Blowing a bubble is a great skill, especially for speech. When my son was in speech therapy, they worked a great deal on blowing bubbles and drinking through a straw, as the mouth muscles are needed for both in the same way they are needed for speech.

Kudos to your little one!!

Oh thank you for such wonderful news! We are still working on the straw and cup. I hope blowing bubbles helps him talk because he can't get enough of it. Thank you! Karma to you! Too bad I can't give you ten for that news. Who is the other mother having problems with talking? Have him blow bubbles and work on drinking with a straw.

 Ihave been showing starfall and in g there is a girl blowing a gum ball .He likes it allot and giggles when he see it. Today I gave him a baloon and he blowed it .I think it is true that it helps speech as he said words and sang.Hurray

Since learning that colouring in isn't so good for creativity, I had to make a plan with all the printing I'd done - yep you guessed it ... colouring in pages.  So what I did with the ones that were actually for his words - I made up a story and connected all the pictures into it as he coloured it in.  He had to make arrows and draw a sun etc.  Well, I did just two stories and then had a week break, he found the page just the other day and told me the story exactly as I'd told it.  I then took the page and changed the story using the same pictures - he was so impressed and then went on to tell his own story.  At least the colouring pages will get used up hey!

My little guy has learned when it's appropriate to say "Sorry" and will do it all on his own. Not just when he hurts someone, but also when he took his foreign exchange student "brother's" watch and then found him looking for it...he brought it back and said "Sorry, Jimmy"

pteradactyls.can you discribe what this word means please ?

[texaslady22]

pterodactyls (I spelled it wrong actually  )

It's a type of dinosaur which are also called Pterosaurs. It can fly, and it just happens to be my little guy's favorite type of dinosaur. He carries a plastic one around with him all the time.

Colin is marching around with his drum and maracas that he got from Santa, while we work on fast and slow, go and stop, lead and follow, and marching of course.

We put the words; sleep, eat, drink and potty; on the wall at Matt's level.  I read each one to him as I pointed to them.  At first he just wanted to rip them off the wall, but when he pointed to "eat" I gave him something to eat.  Later in the day he pointed to "potty," then walked to the bathroom.  Then, before naptime, he picked up his blanket and pointed to "sleep" (and I'd only introduced that word to him this morninig).  Boy, am I excited!  I'd been teaching him signing, but he only signs "more" and "all done" once in a while.  I'm hoping this will help him communicate more clearly with me.  I'm still at the stage where I'm guessing, "Is he really doing it on purpose?" I hope so.

Sounds like a great idea. Making some of those signs is complicated for a little one. Pointing to a word has to be a lot easier for them if they can read. Great idea!
