Great morning with speech and walking

Yesterday Megan had another wonderful speech session.  She mimicked new sounds (ya-ya) and did everything asked of her.  She sat, engaged with the therapist, the entire session; transitioning to new tasks when ready.  

When we arrived at the office I tried something new - something I have been waiting to do for a long time.  Instead of carrying Megan into the office while Sam walked holding my hand.....I had one kid holding each of my hands.  I walked into the building and down the hall to her therapy room and then back up the hall and to the car with Sam holding my left hand and Megan holding my right hand.  This was a huge moment for me - I was so proud of Megan for being strong and stable enough to do this while Sam was there and proud of Sam for being patient.  

On the way home Megan was using her sounds to get more cheerios - I would give her different sounds to make and when she made them I would refill her cheerios.
