35 verbalizations.  Noah had speech therapy this morning and then we rushed to Childserve to get a speech and OT eval.  We felt very rushed and hurried, but we got it all in.  Some of impressions/ inspirations from the eval were to do Jester horseback riding again, dog therapy, drum lessons, make Noah follow through with activities instead of roaming, pool therapy, keep going different places, floortime play with someone to keep him engaged, make sure everyone is on the same page-- come up with home plans and assign them to people, computer games, work on catching.

Today he really wanted There's a Wocket in my Pocket.  He drank less than 1 ounce.  We did the nursery rhyme song puzzle, fall poem, Old MacDonald which Noah asked for specifically.  Andy worked with us today.  He did a "B" sound paper and worked on writing "Bb."  Noah traced lines and Bb.  We did the alphabet song and the alphabet poem.  Noah colored a picture.  We did Little Boy Blue again and Jingle Bells with a book and bells.  Noah did a maze (with lots of help!).
