Early Intervention - Tot and me class review

We went to a tot and me class earlier in the week, the class was very similar to "Nursery" if you know how that works.  Play time with toys, singing time, some sort of craft and then treats.  I know she enjoyed it a lot, however i am not sure it will help her with her speech.  The teachers were great with reinforcing her to talk and use her word.

So what does that class have to do with her eating pudding at home, well in the class we were playing with pumpkin guts and Brooklyn wanted no part of it.  She is a very clean girl, for the most part. Always wants a napkin, cleans her hand right after they get dirty. .etc.   So the teacher was explaining to me after the class, some studies have shown, that children who are always wanna be clean are usually a little slower in speech, the reasoning behind that is, they don't put food in their mouth and explore their lips, mouth and movements and realize they can move it around to talk like mom and dad.  not sure how true it was but with that i went home and made chocolate pudding with gram crackers.  She eat some but wanted to get more messy then anything.        glad bath time was next.
