Over the last couple of days, we’ve been working on the social skill of greeting others. Our goal was for Hope to say “hello” and give a little wave.

The hand placed over her mouth for the “h” sound is a sensory feedback technique. It helps her feel the flow of air needed to produce the sound correctly.

After hours and hours of practice, encouragement, and determination… it’s time for Hope to say…

“Hello!”

It was our Little Athletics presentation night last night and Hope received an encouragement award. She was super excited to receive her trophy and even gave it a few kisses.

Hope was sick this week... and with that came grottiness and a lesson.

Life with kids can get messy literally! Join me as I share the chaos & laughs, learning that a grubby child isn't a sign of a lazy parent.
