Great download.

One of my favorite creativity guru's is Keri Smith. On her blog (entry for 1/18/05) is a cute Creativity Generator that you can download with Acrobat Reader. A great tool to employ when stuck in that place where you are getting nowhere.

Simon's communication assesment this morning went well. Chris was able to come too - that is a huge benefit of his job right now - the flexibility to come to these tests and appointments. His perspective is sometimes different than mine and tends to shed light and additional information for the doctors.

We met with a Speech Therapist named Sue. She and Simon hit it off great - she had cool toys available for him to dive right into (and of course he did). He was not super shy with her - he would look her in the eyes when she had something that he wanted (such as a toy) and she could see that he was "wanting" to use language to communicate (which is a big step in learning language - that desire). He did not initiate contact with her unless she had something he wanted. It will be interesting to read her report.
