And finally, speech

Where to even begin with Matt's speech progress - let's just say it is pretty amazing. And even we notice it on a regular basis. He was looking for me the other day and asked, "Could you come help me?" His new speech therapist has been great and has him working especially hard on verbs. His vocab has been steadily increasing, but putting together a sentence that makes sense has been difficult since he struggles so hard with verbs. He's getting more work done in each session now and really progressing. She thought that he would have 4-8 more weeks of work with her and that he'll continue to be able to work on his own at home.


Matt is one of those people who could be a student his whole life. He loved school and was trying to get into grad school programs in Vermont before we tried to start a farm. He was joking about it the other day while working on his homework - he said he could be a perpetual student, but he never thought he'd be stuck in 1st grade. "Got to laugh, right?"
