Book Reading

This is a cute picture of the kids TOTALLY getting into their books. Fresh outta the tub and all clean, settling down and reading. NOT something they do every night.. Settle down that is.

So many people told me i was overreacting to Jensen and his speech issue. (background is he will say his words but just the first syllable, or however you spell that) Kelly from Birth to 3 connections came and evaluated Jensen on wednesday. Madelyn was in bed so she wouldnt take the spotlight away. Kelly came in and she asked Jensen to sit down in front of her and wouldnt you know it he just said OK and did it.. Ok so i was wondering at that moment what happened to my child? my child would never listen to a complete stranger? She started to fill out some paperwork and had him do some things. He stacked blocks, picked out a horse out of a picture and a cat out of a picture. Lacing skills, drawing. anyway when we were done with the full test it turns out Jensen is at a preschool/kindergarten level with most of his things. the only thing he is average on was cognitive skills. Kelly had a little ugly baby and she wanted Jensen to hug it like she did but he looked at her and said "NO" and he didnt want to draw a straight line, He wanted a lopty lop line. So just because Jensen doesnt articulate his words isnt a big deal. They wont do that until they are 3 anyway. SO just because Madelyn talks in full sentences doesnt mean Jensen will. So that was my mommy freak out award... Point proven
