after school speech part 4

On Thursday, SJ again had speech therapy.  My friend wasn't able to watch Bob, so I had decided to go straight there from school.  I thought we would have plenty of time to stop for dinner before his therapy session started.  The boys had other plans apparently.  We were a few minutes into our drive when SJ and Bob started complaining about how thirsty they were.  They were moaning and complaining as if they were in the middle of a desert.  I turned down a road that leads to our house.  I told them when we got home they had 2 minutes to get a drink.  (Selfishly, I had to use the restroom, so it was a necessary detour for me too.)  After their drinks and my bathroom break, we were back in the car en route to speech therapy. 

Due to the detour, I was rushing to get there on time.  Fortunately, we made it with about 10 minutes to spare.  I decided to get SJ his Happy Meal.  He is a very quick eater (like me), so I knew he would be done before his session started.  When I pulled up to the window to order, SJ asked if he could place his order.  I pulled up so that the order window was close to his passenger window.  "Hamburger Happy Meal, no pickle, with a Hi-C Orange.  And, a large fry for my brudder."  Too funny! 

When his speech therapy session was done, she said he had done very well.  They worked on Cause and Effect.  She said he completed the worksheet easily.  She also said he was able to hold a conversation up to six turns.  That is huge progress for him!  I had tried to work on some of the "How" scenarios (his speech homework) with him this week.  She said he had showed some improvement with that task too.  Besides the small detour, it was another successful speech day!
