Our Poem to Beth...

To Mikeys wonderful speech therapist...

We put this in a scrapbook with some pictures for her as tomorrow is her last day coming to our house.
Hopefully, he will get to continue to work with her some in the office. But she has been coming to our home since Mike was 4 months old.

I'd run to the door when I would hear knocks,
Whether we played on the couch or with me in a box,
I loved to blow bubbles,
And do all my puzzles,
Some days we'd play and have a good time,
Some days I was tired and just wanted to whine,
I'm glad that we've had more good days then bad,
But everytime you tell me no I still get so mad,
Don't you remember my first word was ball,
And when my favorite thing to do was dress up a doll,
Think of all the animals that you got to meet,
You even learned how to work with a pig at your feet,
We thank you so much for all that you've done,
I hope we continue to have just as much fun.

<3 Mikey.

So far this summer...

Mikey is steadily making progress. Hes speaking sentences now, such as "no want go night night" "wanna watch umizoomi" stuff like that. So, he is getting much better as far as telling us his wants, and what he doesnt want! Hes great with peoples names (except his own) we are working on that now. He will call whoever he doesnt know "guy" :) Mikey is doing so much better using his words in front of people even in groups of people. He was pretty shy before about it. But now, he says bye bye and love you. He still loves his puzzles and naming pictures of people and things so we still do that alot too.

On a side note: We only have 2 more weeks left with Beth for speech therapy. I am very sad about this since shes been with him for so long :(she has been a very important part of his life through all of this and  next Wednesday will be a sad day. But Mikeys gonna do something very special for her so she will always remember him. (not that I think that would ever be a problem)
