We finally got to meet Lewis' new speech therapist on Friday. John Paul (Logsdon) is a very enthusiastic fellow and hit it off pretty well with Lewis. He blew bubbles and had a ton of other fun toys that lured Lewis in. These items proved to be good motivators to get Lewis to respond. Hopefully in time we'll see him communicate through signs and/or sounds to express his anger or desire for "more" bubbles etc. We have hope that this will be a good match for Lewis.
This weekend we went to Louisville to see my family and so that Justin and I could visit the Gap Clearance Center near the Cincinnati airport. I had some gift cards to redeem which go a long way at this place. I found some great deals on maternity stuff while Justin stocked up on a wide variety of shirts. Our best deals were for Lewis--shirts for 49 cents and socks for a quarter a pair!
Our visit also gave Justin an opportunity to work with my sister Ellen on some campaign materials. If you haven't heard, she's running for a seat on the Louisville Metro Council to represent District 18. It's pretty exciting! I have to say that we're more excited about her race than the other elections this year. :)
We forgot to take lots of pictures this visit, but managed to get one of Lewis and Grandpa before we left.
Side note: We did have a bit of a tricky ride on the way home in the pouring snow. Traffic was slow and there were some accidents (mostly on exit ramps), but once we got past Sonora things cleared up. We got home without any trouble and found that there was no snow in Bowling Green!
