BLTN: Busy ears and busy hands

Sometimes special people give me special things…

I love letters.  All kinds of letters. Words, too.  But I don’t like doing things with my hands that are hard.  So when I got this nice present of big letter blocks that have a string that you put thru them, I decided to try it, even though I don’t  usually like to do those kinds of things.

And it’s even better when I have my iPod and my special therapy music in my ears.  Both of those were from special people, too.

  1. Just curious - what is her special therapy music?

  2. Anon, she's listening to modulated Peach Jamz, part of the therapeutic listening program. We do not have the "special" headphones, but she really loves listening to them and it's something that helps her take a break from her almost constant teeth-grinding. RK

  3. Thanks! I was thinking my son Matthew (4 yrs old with Ds) might benefit from that. He does the teeth grinding when he's tired, bored, or upset. His OT at school mentioned it once in passing thinking it might help with the vocalizing and stimming he does, so I was curious about it.

Mommy report: Chatty girl

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

Nebraska meets Indiana

Braska's reaction to meeting the very kind Rory Feek and his beautiful daughter Indy.  I missed the part where Braska said Indy was sooooooooooo cute!  :) Our dream would be a photo showing the two most beautiful "states" together, right?!?  :)
