Noah's first speech session

Noah had his first meeting with his home intervention teacher on Thursday. Grandma said it went very well. He was a bit upset when Joann first arrive b/c he saw Grandpa outside but Joann started to play the piano and sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and that won him over. He demonstrated 4 of the 10 imitation skills they are working on - clap, nose, sit down, go get ..., give me five. Grandma said they played so hard that Noah was worn out by the time Joann left. He is going to have one or two more sessions at Grandma's house and then he will start meeting Joann at school so she can take him into the preschool room for approximately 1 hour. I'm a bit freaked out about it - my baby is growing up - but am really really happy. I think that good peer models and structure/boundaries will be VERY beneficial to him. Joann is also bringing the speech therapist with her next time. I don't know if it will be the one he will work with as I think she is still on maternity leave.

Keep us in your thoughts ~ he is doing great and I predict will only continue to improve.
