Happy News!!

Today was the big day! Mikayla went to her speech test. We got there and I was worried that she would be shy and nervous and they would not get a true read. Not our little blossoming butterfly. She walked right in and went with the teacher and did what she asked. She was doing great jumping high and putting all of the puzzle pieces in the right spot. Then she went to talk to the speech therapist and sat in her chair and answered all of her questions some more than what was asked. She did great. When the teacher would write something done she would ask "what are you doing?" all the would say is she is so cute and doing great.

So some of the informal results are;
She is above normal in understanding language
above normal for physical development
and acceptable in speaking language.
She does not need any further work but they would like to see her at 3 1/2 years to make sure she is progressing. What we need to do is speak slower. The teacher said that she misses a lot of the sounds in between the beginning and ending sounds so if we slow down and give her as many chances to hear the word correctly then she will start to slow down and say them.
It was fun to go and see her do so many things that I didn't know she could do. I knew she was smart but things that I haven't taught her she knew just from observing or by using her problem solving skills. I was so proud of her and am really happy that I can take her to preschool tomorrow and tell her teachers that I was right:) and that there is nothing to worry about!
Always go with your instincts, mine told me she was fine and she is!!
