Engrish

Emerson started speech therapy last week. Her comprehension is normal to high, but she isn't using many words. Her words consist of Mama, Dada, Kitty, Uh-oh, Hi, Bye and Up. With the exception of these recognizable words, she talks and talks and talks. She talks constantly. She actually speaks very well....the problem is she isn't speaking English. Rico and I are learning the techniques to encourage the sounds to morph into words. I love hearing her voice..it's so sweet. She is also continuing PT with her wonderful physical therapist Christie. She is at the cusp of not needing PT anymore, but a few more sessions can't hurt and we aren't ready to let Christie go just yet. So we have welcomed Diana, ST to Team Emerson! It's a great team to be on :)
