Sucking thru a straw

Lili has finally met a major milestone, ....a hurdle that took her 5 years to overcome and the source of years of blood, sweat, & tears: she can suck thru a straw! Such a simple, mundane task, yet she just could not do it. I give credit not only to Lili, but to all of her wonderful ABA therapists, her speech therapists, the U. of Virginia Encouragement Feeding program, and to the wonderful Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson and her TalkTools protocol. Lili could not have done it without them. I ran out this morning and brought Sesame Street cups with straws!
