Speech

I have been concerned about Grant's speech for the last few months.  He says less than ten words..."mama, dada, ball, Jack, Bubba, hot, no." Today he had his evaluation and I was not at all  surprised by the results.  It was nice to also be reminded of all the areas he excels in, however his expressive speech is at a 14 month level.  So to speech therapy we go!  I am actually really excited about this for him.  I know he gets frustrated at times simply because he can't tell us what he wants.  He's receptive speech is at a 27-28 month level.  We now have validation that he does indeed understand what we are telling him!! He really liked the therapist that worked with him today and I think he will do well with her.  He even made the "p" sound for her, which was a new one for him.  I can only imagine the conversations we will have over the dinner table with our little man!
