Today it's the relentless "prompting" battle .... trying to get Kaylia to use her words! Today she was with AJ and was given a chocolate treat. She said "Thankyou AJ" ..... then when no further treats appeared she said a little louder ..... "Thankyou AJ!" ..... Still nothing happened ....... "THANKYOU AJ". !! She's confused.
A.J. Here....... Kaylia understands when she needs to use the words "Thank you" but she also uses them to get me to stop talking! During the school holidays I have been working very hard to get her to use her language when she is speaking to other people and she has had enough of it! She says "thank you " in hopes that is what I want to hear and I will do what she wants without having to use a full sentence! I have taken to "ignoring" some requests in hopes she will "ask better" without prompting... Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't!!!

We spend most of our time either at the beach , pool or lake. I am really enjoying having this one on one time with Kaylee without the time restrictions of school. She makes me laugh all day and her smile is infectious. I did not really believe Ian and Naomi when they said Kaylee would swim right out to the horizon.... Boy was I wrong! Her language is really coming along and it very rewarding to hear the improvements day by day!
