Dearest Angels~
Little man .... this is becoming a habit .... you woke at 2am again this morning! This time daddy put you back to bed and fell asleep next to you.
We didn't have a lot of playtime this morning. Joshua had his evaluation with the Child Development Agency at 9am. It was at our house, so we at least didn't have to go anywhere. ;-) This evaluation was very similar to the 'Bailey Test' that you did at the Special Infact Care Clinic when you were a 'corrected' year and a half. There were three people .... Anna (our patient coordinator), and Greg and Jennifer (the evaluators). They tested different aspects .... fine motor, gross motor, cognitive reasoning, verbal skills (both expressive and understanding), and others.

Joshua, you scored average or just slightly above on everything except expressive language (which wasn't a surprise) and gross motor .... because you don't jump from a flat surface. I signed you up for the program so we can receive their benefits and recommendations going forward. And, I scheduled a hearing test for you in May. You don't appear to have a hearing problem, but it's generally done with speech therapy patients.
Everyone said you two were adorable! They gave me a lot of information .... I felt a little overwhelmed with information since I was also trying to distract Grace. ;-) We didn't finish until 11:15am and Joshua had an 11:30am appointment with Kim! So, I felt stupid calling, but I changed your appointment to 3pm after everyone left. :-P
We had some lunch after. Joshua ate 4 oz apple/sweet potato mix and Grace ate 4 oz yogurt/apple mix. Afterward, Grace fought her nap again but she was snoring by 1pm. Joshua laid next to me and her and rested .... he was sleeping by 1:15pm. :-) I woke you both to leave for Joshua's appointment with Kim. I hate waking you all from a nap. :-P You did well using your sounds a words today during play with Kim. :-)
We were home by 4pm. You two helped me unload and reload the dishwasher and then played downstairs. Daddy was home by 5pm. We had some dinner together and then had some playtime.
After dinner Gigi came over. We were helping her sell one of her keyboards. She came over to hook it up and we all got a free concert! ;-) Joshua got to play the keyboard with her. :-) The buyer came over and was nice. We successfully sold the keyboard and made Gigi a pretty penny! ;-)
