I Wish

I am back in Harbin. Since I am with Steve again, we can write new things for the blog.

June 29, 2008

During the move into the hotel apartment, all of Steve’s communication cards were packed away (we don’t know where they are) except for his smallest one. When I got back from Russia, that one too was missing.

So I made him one. Although the letters are not lined up exactly as in his regular card, I have been impressed with how well and quickly Steve can do facilitated communication – it seems to be a real change since early May. I have also noticed that he is more adept with his right hand, this may be the reason for the improved FC.

This evening, I asked Steve if he would like to write.

Yes.

Then I asked if he would like to write for his blog, or a letter to Jie or to whom?. He wanted to write for his blog.

“I wish I could talk more and get my thoughts out to Daddy. I wish I could have told Daddy how much I liked Karli’s letter today.”

“I like talking because I can let people know how I feel. I like going with Daddy and Mama outside where the wind touches my face.”
