A Bit of Progress

One of the goals we have set for Joshua with Early On is to try to have him gain a word a day. This is not an easy task for a child who doesn't really want to talk. However, over the last week and a few days Joshua has added the words puppy, happy, papa (for grandpa), nana (for grandma), na (for no) and Josh (It's easier to say one syllable rather than 3). We aren't exactly up to a new word a day, but it's still great progress for Joshua!
Also I put together a book of words for Joshua to learn (see picture). It's a simple book with just one picture and word per page (I photographed things around the house for the pictures). We try to "read" this book a couple times a day. This book was a suggestion made by the Early On specialist. Joshua hasn't picked up any of the new words in his book yet, but I only made it a couple days ago. I must remember that time and patience will equal progress!
