Unfortunately, the iPad is so fun and stimulating with all the cool games, that she's totally uninterested in asking for stuff with it... so far. A step in the right direction though and she is only 3.

Where does one keep a monkey in the office? Also: Could you possibly train said monkey to do your work for you? Hmmm. And Kristi, rest assured, that monkey would definitely be stylishly dressed. Especially if I had to bring him in to work.

I always feel so so badly when my son says something - repeatedly - and I can't understand. The times when he looks utterly defeated break my heart. I think I'll try a silly phrase and see if I can bring levity back to those frustrating moments. I appreciate the idea!Kristi Campbellhttp://www.findingninee.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-71566259018593702012013-06-10T10:03:58.727-04:002013-06-10T10:03:58.727-04:00We have same problem sometimes at our house.

When he verbalizes and I can't understand him, he gets very upset when I ask him to keep repeating. It breaks my heart when he starts to cry because I can't understand what he's trying to say. I know it must be so frustrating for him, especially since he's at an age where he's got a lot he wants to say. The upside is that he's been trying a lot harder in speech therapy lately! <br />I'll ask him if he wants to buy a monkey next time I can't get what he's saying!

I wish that this program came on its own "iPad-like" device so that there are no other distracting apps that my son would rather play with! I saw your video of Max using Proloquo2go the other day, and I can't wait until Kyle can use it like Max can!Kelli McIntoshhttp://www.notjustanyone.orgnoreply@blogger.com
