I got a call yesterday from our Early Intervention case worker, and she reported that the boys no longer qualify for speech therapy! In fact, they scored above their age in every category except for one, and in that one (which I don’t remember what she said) they were at their age.
Hooray!
And honestly, I don’t know how much speech therapy helped, since they only got it from June – October, when their speech therapy inexplicably stopped showing up. Nice, eh? But she did teach them to sign, and that helped for a while for sure.
If you spent a few minutes with them now, you’d have no doubt that their speech is fine. But it’s nice to have it confirmed by a professional.
Of course Oliver doesn’t need words. His face says it all… (in this case, “mo’ wogurt?!”)

So cute. Mine call yogurt, gogurt. What do they call each other? Can they say their names. I think that’s the cutest, when Marissa walks around the house calling for William. Wee-num!!

Congrats! Very cool! Great job boys! Our Makena calls herself “mama” and when we point to Isaac’s chest and tell him “Isaac” he says “bubba”. Kayla just points to herself and says “dada”. We may need some help in this department..heehee

Yay! They are superstars! My rule of thumb for speech is you never know who will really need it and who just needs more time to mature, but it never hurt anyone and often getting that first bit of communication (like signing) is the kick start they need!
