hbr/speech update

Tuesdays attempt was more of the same. Av pretty much cried and tried to wait Miss Becky out. They didn’t accomplish much. I kept my cool and just loved on her when it was over but also told her how silly I thought she was being. I told Av that we were going to continue coming and she might as well start to have fun at it. On Thursday Av woke up in a really good mood and was excited for Speech and hbr. She kept saying she wanted to go to speech first then to ride Mickey. (I had been telling her Mickey has been missing her and wanted her to come and ride him and give him a treat). So after hanging out at the house all morning and then dropping Camille off at school to speech we headed. Speech ended up going great. Miss Angela told me that, “Avery talked a lot and worked on/repeated all words that were asked of her. (They were working on the K sound and Av was doing well.) Avery was also silly and having fun with it at the appropriate times. Avery is now just one of the group!” It was music to my ears!! After running home to have lunch off to hbr we went. Miss Becky decided to try having Av ride first to see if that worked so off Av went to ride Mickey. I snuck in to take a peak and she looked happy. I heard when they were done and came inside. I heard Av crying and asking for me. It went on for only a few minutes and then I didn’t hear her crying anymore. I didn't know whether they were just sitting there staring at each other or if Av was actually doing as Miss Becky asked. Turns out she was kind of doing things. Not great, but better. Another little boy worked with them so I think that helped. Av didn't have all the attention on her and it was more like she was playing with a new friend. When she got done she was super exited to tell me she rode Mickey and gave him a treat. I think it was a step in the right direction!
