Kites!

Saturday was windy and slightly chilly.  We had a few free hours together as a family and wanted something interesting to do.  So we went to the Dollar Tree and bought a couple of kites.  Then headed out to the park.  I have to admit that the kites spent more time on the ground than they did in the air, but it was lots of fun!

Changing the subject:  Today Kevin had a speech therapy session.  The therapist gave us something to work on that's called "Turtle Vowels."  Basically, they're little construction paper turtles, each of which has a vowel on it.  We're supposed to say the vowel sound while positioning our arms like the turtle.  The goal is for Kevin to imitate us.  I'm not sure of the purpose of the arm movements.  Maybe it's just to make it more of a game.  The arm positions slightly resemble the shapes of the letters, though, so maybe they have a deeper meaning.  Whatever the case, the therapist told us that even though Kevin is not going to repeat the sounds correctly at this point, even just hearing the sounds and attempting to copy them is a good thing.  So here we go with speech games!

This section I'm just going to label:  "Good Times!"
