I got, forgot

This is a strange little phrase I would say when I was little.  I remember I couldn't just say the word forgot unless I said, I got, first.  I thought of this because I was thinking of some of the things Hansen says.  For ball he says galldy gall.  When he says more he says ma-more.  All gone is gall gie(rhymes with pie).  And my favorites are still goggie(doggie) and ka(duck).  He does say some things the way they actually sound like hi, go, show, cow, moo, choo choo, and key(monkey). He hasn't started saying two words together, with the exception of all gone, so he has a speech therapist that comes to our house.  Today was actually the first day she came and she played with him and showed us how we can get him to say more words.  She taught him to say please by signing in the half hour that she was working with him.  So I continued asking him to say please throughout the day whenever he wanted something.  He signs it really well and I think the hope is that he will eventually say it.  It's amazing how receptive kids can be if you will just spend the time with them. I know that one day he would probably talk on his own but he gets really frustrated with us because we don't always know what he wants and that ends up in him having core meltdowns.  I am hoping that with the speech help we can start to limit these ever so popular occurrences.   Oh and on a somewhat related note, I linked the Gub Chronicles to my page.  It is Hans' blog that he was required to set up for a school assignment. He called it gub because that is what I used to call bugs.
