Ellie Ellie Elephant

Alexa’s been in speech therapy, an hour once a week, for a few months now. And honestly, so far the progress she’s made isn’t really speech exactly. She’s making a lot more eye contact. She’s actually looking at you when you speak to her consistently instead of just when she feels like it.
But the biggest noticeable difference, to me, is that all animals no longer Baa by default. When we started this, they all did. Every animal baaaed like a sheep. No matter what they were.
But now, we have a huge variety of appropriate animal sounds. From cats to cows to horses to lions, and everything in between.
My favorite, and Alexa’s favorite at the moment, is the elephant. “Rooooooooouuuuuu” is the best I can describe it.
It is good to be two.
