That is great news!!!<BR/><BR/>And I'm sure once Micah starts using a device, his communication skills will improve quickly...he seems right on the cusp. Probably helps that I barely know him but most times could figure out what he was trying to communicate to you or Sam (or anyone else). Like I mentioned, playing duck-duck-goose with him was a blast...what kid doesn't love to be chased around and tickled? :)Wineplzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412881827548705342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-33163100590235057792008-07-29T23:15:00.000-04:002008-07-29T23:15:00.000-04:00I will keep my fingers crossed for you and Micah! ...I will keep my fingers crossed for you and Micah!
