I was just introduced to these amazing Talk Blocks by a good friend of mine and I knew I had to get them for Charley. She already uses a few Big Mac switches for communication but the talk blocks are so much better. You get five Talk Blocks for the price of one Big Mac switch. They take three AAA batteries instead of the pricey 9 volts and they are very easy to use. They came in the mail today and Charley started using them with little prompting. I am so excited. I made popcorn for her and she started using the orange Talk Block to request more to eat. After about 20 minutes I introduced the blue block to her for drink. I showed her once and after that she had it. She kept pressing the eat block for popcorn then after a while paused, found the drink block, and pressed it for more drink. I can't wait to make her a communication board and practice using the new switches.
Surprise! As if life isn't crazy enough we just found out Charley is gonna be a big sister to twins. I'm beyond words thrilled and already head over heels in love with them. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude and I just keep praying they will be healthy.
