Levi Graduates From Speech

The other day this conversation happened:

Levi: I need to tall Lellow. 

Me: you need to call Yellow?

Levi: Les. I need to tell her “one two fee”!

Me: ok you can call Miss Holly. 

Levi: yay! Yay! Yay!

Levi has loved his time with his SLP, Miss Holly, the past two years. She visited for the last time this week. Levi has graduated. 

We will miss Holly a lot! She was one of Levi’s only outside people when Covid hit, which is a big deal if half your life at the time was Covid lock down. He didn’t talk much when she first started working with him and he couldn’t say her name. On one of her first visits she wore a yellow shirt and he started calling her “Lellow” because the color yellow was one of the words he could say. She loved her nickname. 

Since the other boys were home all through 2020, they’ve come to love her too. 

When I asked Levi what gift he would like to give to Holly on her last visit, he was VERY specific. 

“I div her a red tar, a firefighter book, and a cake. Da cake is chocolate with red fosting on da inside and lellow fosting on da outside wis a *liddle* red fosting on da outside. Da cake say ‘You my best fend, Lellow” on da top.”

Miss Holly LOVED her cake. 

It was a fun way to celebrate her last visit!
