Stacia can spell and Saying Happy Birthday

Stacia's fastination with letters is paying off. She can spell. I did teacher how to spell Cat and then that Bat, Hat, ect rhymed. She figured out how to spell Blue and Clue  her Blue's Clues book, and then figured out how to spell Glue from that after all Blue, Clue, and Glue all rhyme so they must be spelled the same. She can spell Dog, and Toys. Her preschool teacher, she attends a small private school, told me this morning when I dropped her off that yesterday she spelled toys to ask if she could play with toys. On Saturday she had spelled toys as well at her aunt and uncle's house and then went to the toys.

Saturday while we were at her aunt and uncle's house for her uncle and cousin's birthday when everyone went to sing she looked so much like she wanted to be able to say Happy Birthday like everyone else.
I helped her type Happy Birthday into her dynavox and she carried it so proudly into the kitchen and pushed talk. Her very first time telling someone Happy Birthday.

Saying Mama and Daddy

Stacia can finally say Mama and Daddy. Well sort of, she can touch the button on her dynavox maestro that has our pictures. She can also say Bridget.

We finally got some training on how to program and customize her dynavox maestro. Next step is to get Miss Stacia to cooperate so we can put her picture in. She can now say my name is Stay sha instead of my name is Sta sha.

Stacia has started telling Bridget that it's my turn and that's my side. I never though I would smile to hear her argue.
