Well Mikayla's appointment is next Monday but we did have a in home meeting. It was mostly just for us to fill out paper work and go over how the program works. It sounds really good for people who need it. I just don't think Mikayla is going to be in it for long if at all. The lady who came to see us kept saying; "I think she is fine." And that to me was huge because Mikayla is not very outgoing and she was talking to the lady and asking her what her name was and then she would cook her some food. So I am not worried about it. The best part well not really but is kind of frustrating is Mikayla went back to preschool on Tuesday and when I went to pick her up her teachers said " we had a whole conversation today!" I wanted to say Yeah no Duh (and a few other words) but I didn't. I just smiled and said that is great, I knew you could do it Mikayla!!
So I am kind of excited to see what the "specialists" say about her development and I hope I can go back to preschool and tell them that she is way above normal or at least at normal. In my world any one who can use 6-8 word sentences after only talking for 6 months is above normal!!
I know that preschool has helped in a lot of ways and I am grateful for that. She is learning all kinds of new things and she is making friends. It is amazing watching her grow and become her own little person. She is now the manners police. I had the hiccups today and after each one she would tell me to say excuse me. At the dinner table she makes everyone say "thank you" to the cook. And her pretend play is wonderful. She plays house with her Little People and has her Mommy and Daddy and the kids. It is cute how she mimics our words, at least until she says something to someone that I didn't want them to know:) And maybe the best part is how she loves her brother. She talks to him and tells him to talk back and he just laughs, it is great:)
I love that I can see all of this and be able to take a step back and enjoy it.
