I'm going to share Raymond's therapy update a little differently then in the past. Instead of just coping what the therapist wrote in the comments section, I am going to include the other sections of the therapy record. You can leave me a comment to tell me whether you like it this way or the old way I posted the updates better. I thought this might be a little easier to understand at times. All of the therapists fill out different forms. They basically have the same information on them with slight variations to fit that specific therapy.

What we did today to address outcome:

- Playdoh play routine. We coded and modeled single words and phrases.
- We played the vowel song and practiced long vowels. Lily tends to use neutral/short vowels, although she used "o" for "oo" today.
-Lily nicely used "me!" during turn-taking and attempted to imitate "you."
Plans for next session:

So again, leave me a comment and let me know which way you like the therapy updates better.

Isabella continues to do very well in Kindergarten. Her favorite subject is science. Each child in her class had to build a car for their most recent science lesson. Isabella was SO excited about this assignment. It was to be nothing fancy - small in size and made from things you already had around the house.
I don't know about you, but that's the girliest car I've ever seen. She totally loves it!!!
Good job Noodle! You are so creative!
I'll leave you with some dress-up fun.
(In case you are wondering, Isabella tried, but Raymond was NOT interested in dressing up.)
Until Next Time!
Lots of Love,
