Where do we go from here?

aka: How the Garmin has changed our lives

Harry's always been our go-guy - he wakes up most mornings asking where we're going that day and is always up for an adventure. Did I mention that he *loves* the Garmin?!

It has solved any slow buckling because he's decided that I'll turn it on as soon as he's buckled (not really, but hey, whatever works). It has solidified a lot of reading and directionality and math understanding - not just mine ;-) It has reduced my stress level despite growling at that lady who can't figure out that we have a drive and don't have to go off-road to get to our house. It has given us a chance to introduce some new words into our daily chats....recalculating, navigate, highlighted, etc. I haven't even shown them the cool phone, picture, and music features, or even used it to find our car yet LOL

Another big milestone has occurred over the last week. I took Harry to do some errands, and we had a good time talking - somehow we got around to working on his L's and he did such a great job that I was cheering like crazy. It stuck this time, and he's been self-correcting and doing a great job. I sort of miss his sweet voice saying "I wuv you, Mommy" but I'll take "LLL-ove" too. My speech path friend says it's really typical to have L's be lacking until 7yo or so, so we are ahead of the game :-)
