Saying Good-bye to Joy!

Playing "Pizza Party" - Grant's favorite game

Since Grant is turning 3 he has to be released from his speech services that we have been receiving.  He didn't qualify for further services at this time so we are officially done with speech.  I am very excited about being done, but we are going to miss Joy very much!!! When she started working with Grant last July he was saying less than 10 words.  He now speaks in short sentences.  The progress he has made is amazing and we have all enjoyed our time with Joy.  Elizabeth always had a story (well really stories) to share and Joy was always so kind to listen.  Joy saw us at our best (when Grant had a language explosion) and our worst (when I forgot we changed our appointment time and opened the front door in my robe and a towel around my head!).  Words really can't express how grateful we are for all of the help that Joy gave us.  Joy was really Grant's first teacher and we have a special place in our heart for her!
