It just doesn’t get old ! I watch these videos over and over because I still can’t believe she can say words never mind a sentence .
I know she needs lot of modeling and promoting but she is starting to need less modeling . I do help her but she is getting it .
Lexi pulled out the last piece of cake and we were going to split it . Alyssa came out saw us and ran around the table saying mine mine mine ! We laughed
She came over and I said to you want a piece ? And she nodded and I said what do you say ?
I want eat cake
4 word !! 4 words first time ever and this was not modeled .
I tried to get her to do it again for the video , but she wouldn’t .
She’s like hello can I have my cake I’ve said it three times now .
The best part is her smile
She is so proud of herself
I think she surprises her self sometimes
I always give her praise because I know how hard it is for her and how long it’s taken her to be able to do this .
My hope is we can carry this skill over to other things .
She has said I want cake before but never eat she added that on her own .
This is a fairly new skill to be able to verbally request and she does need the prompt .
Never count this girl out .
We’ve heard a lot of nevers and she had surpassed so many of them .
I say never say never
