S-peech


Joe and Aunt Jill (J-eel) according to Joe work very hard 2 days a week
to improve Joe's speech.  We practice cards in between.
DH was giving Joe his s-blend cards (sofa, speech, sun).  He has to say the word and then also
get it in a short sentence. 
He seriously tires so hard.  He can always get the word when it is modeled for him, but it comes in two syllables (normal right now). Sun would be s-un. 
But, he has already improved other areas ... he was dropping his final sounds
...and no longer has a brother named dam.  Yep, Sam has been dam for years now!
Nonetheless, during this particular session, looking a card for sofa..
Joe said....Sssssss-ouch (Couch).   LOL.  We all enjoyed that one!
We are so lucky to have a speech pathologist in our family, thanks for all your time
and love for Joe, Aunt Jeel.
