Speech Therapy

We had mikey's speech therapy appointment today at 10am...
he hasn't been to see Neva in about 3 weeks so it feels like forever but he had a great time and as always knew exactly what to do.
Neva is a lovely therapist who is just like another Nanna to mikey. she has her therapy centre based at her home in Lisarow so it's a nice comfortable setting.

Today mikey played with little toy figurines that you might find in a doll house.
there were 3 beds, a baby bassinette and capsule, a lounge and coffee table and computer and desk.
Mikey had trouble identifying what the tables were, but identified the baby items and beds very well - i suppose having a baby at home and having alot of talk to sleep drummed into him helps with that so now to discuss Tables! LOL

Overall his session was great. We discussed his blasted dummy and how to remove it, Neva didn't have any suggestions but just said to keep trying and see how we go. Mikey is able to give up his dummy at Nanna Bianchi's house so he should technically be able to give it up completely...
So in an effort to give it a go, Neva decided to remove his dummy while she was getting him to help with the printer.
he initially got cranky and disputed the action, but she distracted him with the printer, while this was happening she passed the dummy behind her back to me and then i put it in my bag.
But..... mikey wasn't content with the distraction and quite forcefully requested it back with lots of crying and screaming. he was thoroughly devestated. haha... so i said it's ok mate, here it is.. and handed him the dummy.
wooops... Mikey seemed to think that Neva still had his dummy and mummy had given him a replacement. OH MY... so he kept crying, pointing to neva, saying want dummy and we simply coudln't explain to him that it was in fact the same dummy.
we tried a few distractions, finally got one whre i could get the dummy off mikey and give it to Neva to give him back his 'first' dummy that she stole off him... then he went for my bag where he thought the 'second' dummy was... only to find nothing.

it was terrible!!! we almost undid alot of trust with mikey and this therapist simply by trying to be sneaky with the dummy. thank goodness neva gave the dummy back and mummy was the mean one for the day. i did make it up to him by giving him a small amount of jelly beans, i even got a kiss ;) hehe.
poor little mite... such a simple little mind but so very literal based on what he see's.
