It’s not quite her actual birthday yet, but it’s always nice to get in a little candle practice in a safe, nurturing environment.

As you can see, she was very shy and didn’t enjoy it at all.

One class of speech sounds involves using your tongue, rather than your lungs, to move the air necessary to make speech. I complained to Jen that my vocal tract (throat, tongue, epiglottis, larynx, etc.) hurt because I’d tired myself out. Out of nowhere, Nora took it upon herself to teach me how to teach my students to produce these sounds. Unfortunately, the camera wasn’t rolling for the best part of the lesson (one hand on her hip, finger wagging in the air), but you get the gist from this, I think.
