What's My Name?

For the past few months Sheridan could approximate the syllables of his name with some prompting. This morning, he climbed up on our bed (his daily ritual to help wake up his night-owl parents) and proudly started saying his entire name, unprompted! This evening I was able to get quick video of it - it's not quite as clear as it was this morning... but it's still AMAZING. I owe you all an apraxia update, but that will have to wait. For now, enjoy :)

You'll notice he prompts himself for the "sh" sound (which actually comes out closer to an "s" sound), his "ri" sound is more like a "wah" sound, and "dan" is pretty darn close ;-)

  2. Yay, Sheridan. LOVE that you are saying your name. Today, John Michael's name was "Five" when asked at Costco. Yesterday, it was "Michael" LOL.

  3. Wow, that's great! When Maybelle says her name, it generally sounds just like "Mama," but with slightly different inflection ("Ma...MAH!")
