A Nathan Update

In case you, like me, have been wondering if we are done with speech YET, the answer is...


Nope.

Darn.

BUT the speech professor says we are really about done with articulation.  We are now working on closing the language gap and there is NO concern about Nathan backsliding should we find we just can't keep up the speech routine.  That is exciting news!

Last Friday the clinician tested Nathan on irregular plurals (mouse/mice, etc.) and irregular past tense (we go; we went, etc.)--he clearly needs help with these!  I was secretly hoping, nearly expecting, that he would just ace whatever they would throw at him and they would come back and say something like "Wow!  Nathan really doesn't need to come anymore!!  Congratulations!!!!"  It would be sort of like winning the lottery.  No such luck.  YET.

I'm just reminding myself to be grateful that we can still come up with the time and money to make it happen. Heavenly Father has provided a way for us to do this--every time an obstacle presents itself and we think we will maybe have to stop something miraculous happens (a free car (at least it drives!), a job, a carpool).
