Today Evy had her weekly session with her deaf educator. Both her teacher and I were quite impressed with how well Evy did! Since she has now mastered saying "Mama," her teacher said we should start working on getting her to say other M words such as "more" and "milk". We were very surprised at how well Evy did with imitating sounds.
Her teacher would give Evy a mini M&M and then when Evy would reach out for more, the teacher would withhold it and ask Evy if she wanted MMMore? Initially Evy fussed and wanted the candy right away, but she eventually repeated the MMM noise, indicating that she wanted more! Of course we would applaud, and then Evy would proudly clap for herself!
After her teacher left, Kyle and I decided to try doing this exercise ourselves...and it worked! Her teachers always joke, saying that Evy strictly works for food! And they're right, Evy will pretty much do anything for an M&M!
