social skills

We've been able to go to a lot of "Build & Grow" workshops at Lowe's lately.  Our friend, Henry Cahoon, and sometimes his sister, Judith, come with us often.  They like making the crazy projects like the ice cream truck pictured here.

Even Phoebe got to come one time, and had a great time. Many Saturdays, and other random times, Henry has come to play and practice social skills with Lewis.  We have been spending a lot of time working on conversation and social skills.  Here are some videos to show how things are going.

The first is of a conversation asking the boys about some frozen yogurt they had with daddy one day.



The second is Henry and Lewis talking. At first, Henry asked why Lewis needed to practice talking and then later he said, "Oh, I get it now!"



The next are a couple that Lewis and I recorded after making some muffins one day.  We noticed that if he could see himself while talking that he answered more readily.





Obviously, we still need quite a bit of work on things, but they are making progress. We are grateful that Henry has been willing to help talk and play with Lewis and his parents for letting him come over! :)
