Weekly Update -- 3 - 9 August 2009

Yay, I'm 135 weeks old today!

Masinja had speech again this week. He cooperated for the most part. His therapist is working on getting him to immitate actions and sounds. She is pretty confident that if we can get him to immiate things then he will be able to correctly pronounce the few sounds that he is having the most difficulty with right now. He didn't have much of a problem immitating the actions such as clapping his hands and stomping his feet, but he would not immiate the sounds at all. She tried to get him to say buh, buh, buh; puh, puh, puh; and mmmmmm but he just wouldn't do it. I told her that I could pretty much guarantee that he would be saying those sounds all the way home. He didn't do that exactly but as we were getting into the car I said all three sounds and asked him to repeat me, and sure enough he did it without hesitation! He is just one stubborn little boy.

That's all for now.

Peace,
T.M.M.
