We Love Ms. Becky

Gabe's doctor suggested that we look into speech therapy at his three year appointment. Emma and I understand him perfectly, but I guess it is a little harder for most people. It is funny... Emma has always translated for him. Sometimes Jeff and I can't make out what he is saying. And Emma always jumps in and knows exactly what he is trying to say. It has really amazed us. I was so nervous about speech therapy. When we went for Gabe's evaluation, he refused to do any of the tests and games they had for him. The only way he would do anything was if they gave him a skittle! He was such a stinker! So, I was praying that he would cooperate once he was admitted in speech therapy. It turns out his therapist was the same lady that he refused to cooperate with in his evaluation. She looked a little nervous when she saw us ;) But Gabe has absolutely LOVED his therapist, Ms. Becky! She has made speech so much fun for him! He brags to everyone that he goes to school and that his teacher is so nice... And he has made some good friends with two boys that are in his class. We have had a wonderful experience so far and he is making great progress on some of his letter sounds! Gabe was sad that today was his last day of speech until the fall. We are hoping Ms. Becky will be involved with his therapy in the fall!
