Thurs, speech intonation therapy

Thurs., I had the privilege of watching your speech therapy session. I was amazed and joyful and so full of pride. I was in back of the curtain when James came into the room; and I heard you say to him, "hey, can we play that board game". You have come so far, you have purposeful forethought, so I watched you and James work with the keyboard working on phrases which you put to music so that the words come to mind with a certain melody. It works and you have to know how cool it is. Your voice really is your tool. It helps you get the words out so you can get your needs out, or have you just learnt how to play the game. At any rate it is evident that the right side of your brain has taken over the left brain functions.
And then at supper it was so cool to hear you, "I have a craving" what Ian, "Lasagne".
Seems like not that long ago it was good to just hear you talk, and answer questions, then hold a short conversation of back and forth banter, but now you actually initiate thought and your wishes for prensent and future things.
I know you will be an inspiration to many, you already are and have no idea of the impact you have on others.
We love you so!!!!
