Look at that expression!!

One of the many facial expressions of Finn, he is the master of them! He is loving the water this year, such a change from last year!

Our new "cool tool"

We just received funding through early intervention for this AMAZING app for our Ipad that Finn can use to help him communicate!!  It is called proloquo2go ( http://www.proloquo2go.com/).  It has the ability to accommodate his MASSIVE vocabulary and is totally programmable so that even at 2.5 years old he can use it and it can "grow" with him!  We were the first family in this area to request an ipad app so to be granted funding was really encouraging!  We are in the beginning stages of "training" Finn and fine tuning it so that it is most useful for him but already he is getting the hang of it.  The reason we decided (more that his speech therapist decided) that he needed this is because when his lactic acid levels get high he "loses" words, not cognitively but it is almost like he loses the ability to say them and that TOTALLY pisses him off.  We are hoping in time that this will help his tantruming when he is tired or not feeling well and that it will give us another tool to help "treat" what is actually going on instead of guessing what is wrong or what he wants during these times.  Technology is so cool!
