Apraxia of Speech . Week 33

A week off from (formal) Speech Therapy - Ryder's SLP is out of town, with her family.

Not much of anything to report this week.  Ryder is initiating more speech, which is always encouraging!

---

I showed Ryder a friend's baby announcement, his response:
"OH MOM! Its-uh seet baby!" (It's a sweet baby).

Randomly, when he is playing quietly (usually with trains, of course):
"I hop (jump) at Oh-wen's (Owen) home"

While STOPPED at a train crossing, on our way home:
"WHOA MOM! Da boo hain has ICE CEAM inside!" (The blue train has ice cream inside)
Not sure, why he thought this...but, it led to a fun discussion of what might be in the other trains...white was milk (which makes sense, as one of the SLP's trains is white with "MILK" written on the side), green was chickens, orange was juice, and black was bananas!

Ryder slammed his thumb in the door at his Grandma Jody's house.  A few nights following, after praying with Ryder, as Patrick was leaving the room:
Dad, pay for my humm, holding his thumb up (pray for my thumb)
Patrick: Your thumb?
Ryder: Yeah, dad, my owie.

He still has a long way to go, but it is nice to note the progress he is making as well.

One-step-at-a-time.
