It's been a long month - but 'one day at a time' right?

So... my favorite part of the day today was during my daughter's tutoring session when she was trying to blend phonemes (sounds) to creat the word 'Mask'. -mmm - aaaa - ssss - kkkk. The tutor said each sound with a space between them, then asked her to blend them together into a word. She had trouble so the tutor left a shorter space. My daughter still didn't get the whole word, but she got a funny smile on her face and asked: Did you just say the A-word? I laughed so hard! She wasn't all the way successful, but her brain was working on blending!
