Thanksgiving Week

Playing around

Speech re-eval.  Joy understands so much and communicates with me so well, that  it’s interesting (and a little sad) to see the official results of her speech eval.  She doesn’t understand the word ‘not.’  She doesn’t do plurals.  She can operate in her world just fine, but can’t use the vocabulary to answer questions beyond ‘what’ questions.    Putting all of that aside, she knows what she wants and she knows how to get it.  I understand her.  That is the point of therapy to expand her abilities so others can see this amazing girl!

Setting up for Christmas – she was so excited this year!  She put that stocking around her neck and took off.  She wanted to do everything!  She is so excited for Christmas!

Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa Ball’s house.  She loved their cat so much, the cat finally run up into the tree to escape!

Our Black Friday shopping was fun!

Joy has entered into a new phase.  She doesn’t want to eat meals anymore.  Now she hasn’t stopped eating.  She just doesn’t want to eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  She wants to eat all the time, but only slices of bread, green apples, grapes, and that’s about it.  Gotta work on that one!
