She was thrilled. My favorite was when my sister walked over to say hi to her, and she made the iPad say "see ya later alligator" and walked away. We definitely celebrated that one.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881590483174001768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-10528428867659504102012-03-01T12:21:53.055-05:002012-03-01T12:21:53.055-05:00He's so frigging handsome...and happy!

I've watched it approximately a gazillion times.<br /><br />Anon #1, the purple splints are made by Benik, they help keep Max's hands open (sometimes they tighten up). <br /><br />Louise, lately Max tends to use the iPad more at school then he does at home but yes, he will go to the iPad when he's articulating something and we can't understand him. <br /><br />Anon #2, yes, I was thinking I needed to show video of Max talking in the near future.
