My little guy has done it! Today, for the 1st time EVER, he not only detected all 6 long sounds, but TOTALLY PRODUCED ALL 6 as well. We have had no problem detecting and producing /a/, /e/, /oo/, and /mm/, but the /sh/ and /s/ are completely inconsistent. When our wonderful EI teacher was here this morning, Christian detected and produced ALL 6. His /s/ and /sh/ were a bit weak and soft, but I AM STILL SO PROUD OF HIM!
GO CHRISTIAN GO!

Good for him; that is a major milestone.
I just love reading your blog and reading about all those first milestones shortly after being implant. I have been there and I know how excited I got every time my girl reached a major milestone.
Fantastic!!
