Also on last Tuesday, SJ had his bi-weekly speech therapy session. I had my dad tell him to be ready to go as soon as I got home from work. SJ was arguing with my dad and I (over text messages) that he didn't have speech this week. I informed that indeed he did and he would need to be ready to go at 5:30. He was more than a little crabby on the route from our house to speech therapy. I reminded him that there would be McDonald's waiting for him when his session was over. That softened his mood slightly.
His therapist told me she was going to do some testing on him for most of the session. She said it had been quite some time since anyone had tested him. I told her that would be fine and reminded her that he may want to tell her about our vacation.
When he came out, she told me that he did very well. She said she only got through a portion of the testing, since SJ was so excited to tell her about his vacation adventures. Initially, he was monopolizing the conversation, but then he remembered to include her. He would ask her, "Have you ever zip lined?" after he was talking about doing that. He also asked her if she has been to the beach and if she liked it. She was very happy that she didn't have to give him a lot of prompts to have him engage her in the conversation. That is definitely progress!
