WAY TO GO MIKEY!!! That's a wonderful accomplishment!

Big Hugs,

Ayup, he's singing the Blue's Clues song. You know -- " To play Blue's

Clue's you gotta fiiiind....a pawprint! And that's our first....clue! "

He is doing the hand motions, clumsily, but he's trying! And he is saying

" blue " " pawprint " and " notebook. " I think. " Bluh " " puh-pih " or " buh-bih "

& variations thereof, and " uh-buh. " With the hand motions it is clear what

he means.

And he is singing it WITH US. INITIATING interaction. Eye contact. Smiles

and laughter.

On the other hand, it has become painfully clear that we have a whoooooole

lot of speech therapy ahead of us. *sigh* I was really hoping that when he

started talking, he wouldn't have pronunciation issues, but obviously he

does. He has very low oral muscle tone & it is hard for him to make " p " " m "

etc.; also " k " " g " etc. Just one more thing, right? Always one more thing.

Oh this is WONDERFUL!!!!! HOW CUTE!!!!!

Sydney does this also, but she did this MUCH MUCH later than Mikey's age,

Sara!!!

TOO COOL!!!! (Madison still doesn't.... sob sob)

I find that music is one of the BEST ways to interact with my children.

It's a good thing they don't attach any meaning to words, because all I seem

to do is sing to them. For the time I am singing <a song that they LIKE>,

they are watching me constantly, and grinning, smiling, and totally WITH me.

Sara, try holding his hands in yours and " dancing " side to side while you

sing his favorite song. Guaranteed, he will come to you within the day or

two, to dance with you. It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute.

I hear ya, girl.

Sydney. BIGTIME pronounciation problems. Enunciation. All of it. Totally

off. Totally sad. And like you said.... always one more thing.

Perhaps Madison, if ever she talks, wil not have this problem. <hey, a girl

can hope, alright??>

GO MIKEY GO MIKEY!!!!
