Frith O’Steen

Some of you may know that Decker has been going to a speech therapist since early July to help him in finding his words. I probably won’t be writing about it very often, unless there is something really cool to report…like today! Decker has been working on using pictures and signs to help express what he wants (his therapist Pamela is awesome and he likes her a lot and thinks they’re playing lots of games). He had already been signing “open” and “bye bye/done” for a while, but today…he signed ‘ball’! I was absolutely beaming - my smile could’ve stretched from wall to wall in the office. He’s making progress and it’s so dang exciting to see! He showed off his new “word” for his daddy this evening. Yay Decker!
