Yay, I'm 161 weeks old today!
Speech went well again this week. Masinja continues to make progress on a weekly basis. His therapist is looking forward to his 6-month review so she can measure just now much progress he has made. Masinja is still working on most of the same skills as he has not mastered them yet. Imitation is his biggest weakness. His therapist spends several minutes each week trying to work on gross motor imitation. He does really well with most of the actions but he still has a lot of difficulty with anything involving his mouth, i.e. sticking out his tongue, smiling really big, blowing kisses, etc. This is obviously a really important skill because eventually it will be necessary in order for Masinja to speak correctly. He has made a ton of progress in only a few months though so I'm sure the imitation will come with time.
Masinja got to play at Parent Connections again this week while I attended a training entitled Transitioning to Preschool. Even though I am in denial of the fact that my baby boy is growing up, he will be starting preschool in August. This training was definitely beneficial in preparing me for that eventuality. He can ride the bus but since the school that he will most likely go to is literally two minutes away I will most likely just drop him off and pick him up. Masinja will probably be attending preschool three days a week. He will be going for two and a half hours a day. Thank goodness it's only February so I still have several months to adjust to the idea!!
That's all for now.
Peace,
T.M.M.
