Festivals, counters and new SLP

Last Saturday we went to a local festival and the only thing they had for kids were giant inflatables.  I thought Megan would enjoy them but we didn't even get a chance to check them out because she was completely freaked out by the noise of the generators.  I gave her ticket away to the first person I saw getting in line to buy one.  

She did well with picking her own strawberries -or at least she liked getting to eat them.  I made her stand and get the berries but she preferred it when Will was holding her upside down leaning over to get them. 

She enjoyed the mini-state fair festival we went to the next day.  She stood at the table full of corn kernels and played for several minutes.  She loved getting to wash her hands at all of the stations because they had kid height sinks.  She enjoyed her pony ride but wanted Will to let go of her - I am sure she feels like a pro on a horse and she didn't need daddy's help staying on.  

Megan is still walking when she wants to and not walking when she doesn't.  She is however, playing in out kitchen a ton.  She pulls up at the table and or counters and will walk all around the room trying to reach stuff.  I try to keep stuff I don't want her to have out of her reach (though I fail sometimes) and I put things that are enticing where she can get them.  

This morning Megan had her first session with her new SLP (speech language pathologist).  It was time for a change for her and our wallet.  The new place takes our insurance and will give us a discount once her sessions run out.  It is also 18 minutes from home instead of 45.  So, her session this morning was just a get to know you session but I can already tell this is going to be so much better.  The therapist's personality is a much better fit and her style is too.  Megan was so engrossed in what was going on that she didn't take her glasses off until 2 minutes before the session was up; normally that is the first thing she does to a new person.
