One of Jude's favorite songs since forever is Twinkle Twinkle. I sing it, he sings it. For his birthday we got him a glockenspiel. Mostly he just bangs on the bars but the other day he actually played the first line of Twinkle Twinkle. I did not show him this, Aaron did not show him this. He figured out the notes and played it by ear.
Maybe his middle name should have been Mozart.

Diagnosis, Ongoing Speech Therapy, Preschool, etc.
For those of you asking for an update, here's a portion of the letter regarding Jude's official diagnosis and ongoing speech therapy and qualifications for continued assistence in combination with beginning preschool this fall. Names and agencies edited out for obvious reasons (as much as I love meeting new people, being surprised is actually quite terrifying).
The agency was absolutely thrilled with the loving environment we provide for him at home and how involved, patient, and understanding we were even during his more difficult moments. Apparently that kind of thing is not common in their experience, which makes me kind of sad. Your children need your love and acceptance, especially during hard times.

Adventures in Speech Therapy
So last week the Speech Therapist penciled us in for this morning,
and said she'd text before Tuesday to make sure we were still on, etc.
Well, no text and no Speech Therapist. We're all still new at this, so
I'm pretty understanding.
I took the initiative to text her asking about our next session and she suggests Thursday at 1:30pm. I remind her moods are in higher spirits before noon. She says she's booked Thursday morning but can offer us tomorrow at 11:00am instead. That's actually perfect. She replies, "I'll see you then. ;)"
Like, omg no. Don't winky face. That implies you might be joking? You might not show up again. This is not the place for winky face! lol.
