Maybe one day he'll be able to distinguish music and words, but right now he needs WORDS. <br /><br />So I've been reading books into my computer and he listens to them each day. Just my voice and him clapping, or ringing a bell, or playing a piano key, or blowing a whistle for the page turn. <br /><br />Easier to do with ten minute books than 30 minute (or more) books. I'd love the technology of being able to opt out of the music.<br />The McGowanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05838139662660336036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-57381976026351631632012-06-26T05:28:04.926-07:002012-06-26T05:28:04.926-07:00Matt would LOVE those geo-magnetic things.

And I havent been for close to four years because they haven't really made me a appointment to go etc. They practically leave you to your own devices which I understand now since I've had mine a long time and they only urge you to make a appointment only if its an emergency. How's Tate doing?Lissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072772211222320059noreply@blogger.com
