More Language Developments

Demi has surprised me again with her new abilities.
The other night we were reading "Mouse and a Cookie" (aka When You Give a Mouse a Cookie). The story line follows a trail of events, each one leading to the next. I was asking questions along those lines.

The story goes, "When you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk. When you give him the milk, ..."
I asked, "What is he going to want?"
Dana, looking at the pictures on the page, replied something about a box of cookies. Demi, taking it in quietly, said, "A shtaw" [straw].
"What was that, Demi?" I asked?
"A shtaw."
"That's right!"

Obviously, since Demi is 16 months older than Dana, she should be more advanced, but lately that hasn't been the case. Whenever Demi gets something that Dana doesn't, I consider it a great advance. :)

I truly believe the liquid cellular zeolite cleans out her system, allowing her to better absorb and assimilate the EFA's from the fish oil as well as the antioxidants and general nutrients from the Juice Plus+.

We're planning to start some new therapies this summer, too, just to see what else may help fuel her development further. Sometimes it's hard to tell exactly which supplement or therapy makes a real difference in development. In this case, I think it's all of them contributing. I believe the therapies will be more effective because her system is more prepared to benefit from them.
