Just a few pictures from the last couple of days. Wanted you to see my handsome boys in their new sandals. We went down to Carver, MA to visit Isabell and her mom, Sarah on Monday. It was a beautiful day. We took a long walk around the cranberry bogs. When Mom came Tuesday, we walked around Tower Hill botanical Gardens. It really was a nice little excursion. Thomas is into hugging the animals. Doodle is such a rock. I'm very impressed with him. The dogs stick right around me all day long so I don't have to worry about Thomas doing this when I can't watch.
The boys had their year assessment with Early Intervention today. The summary is that they both scored from 13 to 15 months in all the categories thus rendering the state service unavailable. They asked the boys to do several little jobs as well as asked me several questions to evaluate them. Being in a new setting, the boys were very distracted and not too interested in performing but I think this is typical. They were evaluated by a speech pathologist and a physical therapist. Here is a few examples of what they wanted the boys to do:
given several small wooden blocks, they were to fill a cup with at least 9 of them
given a blank sheet of paper and a crayon, they were to draw anything
given a small doll and a sippy cup, they were to feed the doll
given 6 wooden dowels, they were to plug them in round holes and take them back out
given cheerios, they were to pick them up with their thumb and index finger
given cheerios in a bottle, they were to shake them out
given a small cardboard box, they were to open it to get toy
All for now!
love,
