A GREAT problem to have....

I am overwhelmed by Megan's progress with her speech.  Using the techniques we are learning Megan is chatting away non-stop.  The GREAT problem that we have is that before we are able to respond to something she has said she says something else.  I am running myself crazy trying to keep up with her.

Yesterday after school I explained to Sam what we were doing and he joined in and had so much fun.  Megan was talking non-stop and getting him to do all kinds of stuff - mainly turning on various Christmas toys for her.

I have a call into the program to find out how to handle her excited talking, talking, talking but in the mean time mama will continue to do the best I can.

This morning during breakfast I didn't even say anything to her about talking or telling Sam to turn on the snowman and the first thing she did was point to it and say "on" and so it began.  She ate her oatmeal and Sam turned on the snowman every time she said "on".

It is awesome that she has made the connection that she talks and we do something (basis of new program regardless of whether we understand what she is saying we respond to show her that her voice is important).
