Cookie Decorating

Charlotte had her last week of speech therapy at home this week.  Next week she starts at the center for both days.  To be honest I think it’s probably also more convenient for the therapists to have her in center, rather than come to the house.  It’s fine though since I think she make faster progress in center and it also gives Chris some freedom and bonding time with Cooper.

The last few days Charlotte has been touching her chin every time I ask her to make a sound to ask for something.  I asked Chris want sign she was making and he laughed and said he forgot to tell me.  During therapy, they sort of touch her chin and cheeks to get her to form her mouth in the proper position to make a particular sound.  She has picked that up…she looks like she is rubbing an imaginary beard.  I think it does help remind her how to form her mouth because initially if she’s trying to say ‘open’, she’ll say ‘mmm, mmm’, but when she touches her chin she’ll change it to an ‘ohh, ohh’.

We had a busy day today.  Charlotte’s party is tomorrow, so we are busy trying to get everything for the party, plus prepare for Christmas.  I am behind on Christmas shopping and I still haven’t gotten a good photo of the kids for the Christmas card.  I hope I have some luck tomorrow morning before the party.

This morning we went to My Gym for class (we joined since Charlotte’s therapy has switched days and gives us the opportunity to take advantage of the play time and the class).  During nap time, Chris ran errands for the party and I prepared the goodie bags and favors.  After nap, the kids helped me decorate cookies.  Well more like helped eat them, but we had fun.
