Speech went great yesterday for Ty! I was so proud of him. Here are some videos:

He was super talkative right away and he really working hard to do what she wants him to do. He's beginning to make his lips form in a certain shape on his own when she asks, like if she makes the "ba" sound, you can see him really watching her lips and then trying to imitate her. Speech also commented on how Tyler always holds her to her word. She'll say he has to do somethign 3 times, and then when he gets to the last time she'll say one more tmie and then sometimes tries to get more.. Tyler doesn't let her get away with that, he's like seriously? You said one more time! Sometimes he even looks at me like Help mom.. I'm supposed to be done!


Tyler has a bunch of large foam letters and he really likes to bring them to you and then you say the sound and then throw it and he goes and gets it and brings it back to you. We make him say the sound once or twice before we throw it so he has to work for each one. Anyway, he sort of invented his own augmentive communication device. He has a leap frog letter drawing pad and when he picks out a foam letter, he'll push that letter on his drawing pad where it will tell him the letter and how to draw it. Then he brings it to us.



Both boys are doing very well with potty training, other than when sleeping, Ben has had a dry diaper since Saturday afternoon. Tyler has went potty a few times on the potty (we are following the schools program) and does a great job of sitting on the potty for 30 second at a time without having to be held in place. He loves to flush:)

Really busy this week so not a lot of time for updates but just wanted to get those videos out there.. I have more to share, maybe more later this week when I have a bit more time.
