At 11:00 Will's speech therapists, Kierra and Lisa came in wearin’ the green, prepared to fill him full of Blarney. It sounded like they had brought the Blarney stone with them. He was feeding them all sorts of good lines. He was using all three strategies: talking loud, over articulating, and speaking slowly with very impressive results. He did especially well on the tongue-twisters, like pass the pepper, please; funny Fanny made fudge; and Will’s favorite, Mysterious Malcolm managed to mesmerize the audience wit his mental multiplication manipulations. He and Kierra both had tickets to the Jazz/Toronto basketball game that night, so they were pretty pumped about basketball. She had him work on his water swallowing with a straw, tucking his chin in to prevent aspirating and taking smaller sips. He did just fine with that and was particularly impressive when reading "The Little Red Hen," and "Oscar’s Rotten Birthday."
