Miles Speech Update

As many of you know, we did a speech evaluation for Miles last Fall. We felt that he was doing fine for his age, but might be a tad behind. So getting a second opinion offered that extra validation. Like we thought, the therapist said he was age appropriate and on par with where he needed to be. She sent us over things to look for as he neared age 3 as well as 3 and a half.

Since quarantine, I feel like Miles' speech has grown exponentially. I'm not sure if it's because he's home more often and I'm hearing more, or if that "light bulb" has gone off. Some of his words are a little muddled and we haven't reached the goals set by the therapist yet, but he's doing so well!

For those curious, our goals:
- Finishing the end of words by age 3 (she said if he's doing it sometimes, but not others, it's a good indication this skill will develop on it's own)
- Using the K and G sounds by age 3.5
- And being understood 75% of the time by friends and family by age 3

[ Note:  This video is LONG. We got an ABC box of books from Becky with words starting with each letter. He was cooperating so well, so I went ahead and did all the letters ]

...yes, it's supposed to be a black screen :P
