Kirsten has been saying "duck" lately. Any small yellow bird is a duck. (we learned on a baby farm animal book) ... It sounds similar to dog, but it works.
The speech lady came today. I didn't feel like she really did much. Kirsten didn't know her, therefore, didn't want anything to do with her... plus her toys stink. I ended up reading her some of our own books because Kirsten would not let the lady read to her.
When Kirsten wasn't interested in her toys I told her we had some upstairs she could try. The lady was very impressed with our educational selection :) She said Kirsten was very smart, she was amazed that Kirsten loved books so much and would let me read them all to her, and that I looked like I was doing everything I could and should be doing. So I feel good about that.
She also said that she thinks Kirsten is very "independent" and maybe that's part of why she is CHOOSING not to talk. She thinks Kirsten could talk if she really wanted to. My Kirsten... independent... now who would have thought that, I mean, I have no idea where she got that or her stubbornness from hahahaha. The lady wants to make Kirsten try to ask for the things she wants more. But that was really all that happened. She just comes over and plays with her. I guess I was expecting some huge classroom lesson curriculum or something. She is coming back on Friday
But on a hilarious side note, Kirsten changes Mikelle's diapers. Kirsten has done things before like dragging Mikelle to the changing pad on the floor while I was going to the bathroom. But today, while I was transferring clothes to the dryer I hear Mikelle grunting. I go to where I left her to find her naked with Kirsten changing her diaper. Kirsten looks like she knows just what she is doing too! She tried this a couple times today, even going as far as trying to take her clothes off to change her. Kirsten is a pretty funny kid.
