I just got an amazing phone call from my sister (OK, technically my sister-in-law, but more like a sister) and she wanted to know if we wanted to go to Outer Banks with her family for a week! I'm not sure if we'll be able to swing it because it is very soon, but instead of writing a blog posting tonight, I'm going...

Fridge Phonics: Magnet Alphabet Set from LeapFrog |
Every Thursday my son goes to speech therapy (we think he has Apraxia). This week the therapist had the Fridge Phonics: Magnet Alphabet Set in her office and Ben showed interest in it, so she gave it a shot. While he drew, the therapist would put in a letter (B, for example), the toy would play a little tune (such as, "every letter makes a sound, b says buh") and he'd actually say the sound, no teeth pulling necessary. He did SO well, our BEST therapy session yet! So I broke down and bought one for home today so that we could do some work at home. Hopefully he'll work with it at home too, I'll keep you posted. Of course we are still practicing all the words he's already saying, focusing on trying to improve the two-syllable words like bubble (we blow lots of bubbles) and balloon (The Yellow Balloon by Charlotte Dematons). But every new word he says, my heart does a little pitter-patter.

So, I made this list sometime in March after finding the blog karenika and being inspired by her list and others that I have found since. I'm interested in seeing how far I get since I didn't really even start until April, but am hoping that by posting the list, it give me an extra push. There are more than 52 because of additions...
So, I just finished the LOAD challenge for May and didn't know what I should do with my free time, until I was reading the Lonely Scrapbooker's Blog and found out about the NaBloPoMo site and the post every day for a month challenge... and so I figured why not! I thought I'd start the month by taking a stab at today's prompt... When...
