She celebrated with a sleepover (the five girls were loud and fun), a Justin Bieber cake, pizza, and ice cream. Her dad and I got her an iPod touch, and she is thrilled. She has already downloaded Angry Birds and Ninja Fruit. And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since Riley&#8217;s therapy was cut back to every other week, we&#8217;ve been focusing on getting her to think about graduating from auditory-verbal. She has two goals right now: 1. Look at the person who&#8217;s talking and the person you&#8217;re talking to. 2. Talk in complete sentences. She&#8217;s doing pretty well with those two objectives, but [...]]]></description>

After seven years of weekly sessions (give or take holidays and illnesses), it&#8217;s nice that she&#8217;s made so much progress that we can go less often.
