We have been continuing with the programme the speech therapist gave us and in the past week and a half Grace has learned to say some new words (rough pronunciation in brackets) – sock, chair, book, ball, bear (baa – similar to her sheep sound, but slightly different), there (dare), bump, bag (baa), roll (oll), boo, bowl. Sock and chair she has only said a few times, but she has been using the rest fairly consistently. Currently her favourite word is “Shoe!”

It is great to see the improvements she is making, as well as how her confidence is growing – it is very encouraging.
