Sydney had therapy in OKC today and she did great! The Speech Therapist at school said she had a really good session there too! The Speech Therapist at OKC said she is really picking up on the PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) We are going to be using this until we figure out how far her speech is going to go...that way she doesn't get frustrated and hopefully we don't either! What is does is lets her give us a picture of what she wants - she verbalizes with it because she likes too! Plus, the words are written on the cards, so hopefully it is helping with her pre-reading skills as well. The PT said she was writing up a new progress report - for the insurance company in order for them to ok more than 20 visits in a calendar year (duh!) - and couldn't believe how far she has come in the last few months! She had reached almost every single goal and hit some of the others today at therapy! They are all so pleased with her progress - especially in the last month! We really think school is helping a lot and once she figured out the pedalling of the bike thing it has allowed other things to click for her! Very exciting!
Makenzie also had a great day at school and had a blast with Nanny after school! She hasn't kissed any boys at school lately, which is good! And she is just growing up so fast! Tonight after her bath I was telling her what beautiful eyes she has and she said I had beautiful eyes too and I said no, her eyes were much prettier than mine because she has long eyelashes that she got from her dad. She said: no mommy - I got my eyelashes from God's workshop! How cute is that!
Karsten got to have a lunch and a playdate with a boy named Josh today! Nanny said he had a big time and managed to keep up with Josh (who is almost 2 years older than he is) - he got very excited when it was time to go pick up Makenzie though! He sure loves his sisters!
We are so very blessed!
