It’s official…we’re normal

tobie   July 23rd, 2008      5 comments...sweet!

So we had our official speech evaluation/testing this morning.  The speech therapist administered three different kinds of tests to see where P and C were with receptive and verbal language skills.  Paige was much more verbal than Cole, but on the one-word receptive language test Cole did score 2 points higher than Paige.  Paige was above average on the verbal skills, whereas Cole was on the lower end of average.  The main thing I learned from these tests, (besides P and C are awesome) is that Paige understands language better the more words you use, but Cole has better understanding with shorter simpler language.  Interesting…..They are not delayed at all.  Paige is a little higher than average, and Cole is average for their age.  We’re going to have one hour of speech a month for three months then cease.

We also had a PT appt today.  We are going to one hour a month starting in August.

Did I mention 28 days until preschool?

    Garbage trucks–yea!

    Okay..I’m so excited about this I had to write a post ASAP because I feel Eric just can’t get as excited about this as I need him to be.  We just got our Scottsdale Parks and Recreation schedule for Fall and I absolutely love this city and what they offer all ages.  So anyways…they have a Garbage Truck Day for ages 2-5 where kids can see garbage trucks up close for 45 minutes.  Does that sound like heaven for Cole??  I was bummed when I saw the day it was offered because it was a Thursday during preschool hours and I was torn about whether to pull him out of school for this special occasion.  But then I was debating to my mom on the phone and she said the day it’s offered is during Fall Break from preschool.  It’s Fate I tell you!!  Fate!  Now all you readers in Scottsdale…don’t you dare sign up for this and block my little Cole-man out!!!

    Every ending has a new beginning

    So whereas preschool is starting in a mere 35 days(!!!!!!), our therapies are slowly coming to an end.  We were going to have all therapies end when they turn 3 years old, but our therapists are realizing how awesome our P and C are, and everything is ceasing here in the next month.  We have a new speech therapist that started with us last week.  After today’s session she said not only are our kids not developmentally delayed, but they are advanced in what is expected of toddlers their age.  How freakin’ cool is that!!!!  So she is going to do one more evaluation next week and either suggest discontinuation of therapy or possibly one hour a month until January.  Same as our PT therapy.  Wow.  I can’t tell you how good it feels to know that there are no delays and they are so normal.

    Life is good.
