Braska's been just loving her words lately. She's still signing some, mostly when we're in public or around strangers, but she's adding more words all the time. Many of her words are just attempts at the actual word, but that's where we all start, right?!? We're not saying that she'll be giving speeches next month, but we are very proud that she's become such a mimic and that she is loving using so many sounds. We practice often, just running through her words, signs, and tricks. She especially loves to chime in with videos of herself, so I've been working on compiling all her favorites for her to work with. As I was editing this, she was sitting here saying the words over and over. So funny to hear her talking to herself on the screen and loving it. So here's a peek at some clips from our practice session tonight. Some words are more obvious than others. They are all great attempts, though, and we'll celebrate that! Make an on-line
You look wierd with hair.
ReplyDeleteA whole new perspective!! (And your dad is too silly ;) )
ReplyDeleteWow! Look how big she has gotten! She is soo cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the encouragment about glasses for Eliana. I totally agree with you - that when they really need them, they do much better at wearing them. I have found that to be true with my boys as well.
When I was thinking about glasses, Braska was a real encouragment to me. Besides looking so incredibly cute in her glasses, I knew that she had adjusted well to wearing them and that gives me hope for Eliana.
I'm so glad you share your days. I learn a lot from you.
Blessings,
Leslie
