Update on D

I received Darsie's speech results the other day. At this time, she doesn't need speech but she will be reevaluated after she turns two. They gave us a couple of ideas to try out at home to get her going on talking/signing more. Those evaluations are always so tough. I don't know about other preemies...but Darsie is not a performer in the least bit. She tends to show her worst side when being evaluated. I think she knows what is oging on and likes to throw a monkey wrench.

She also crawled about 25 feet today. It wore her out but she did it! I can't wait to show Diane how well D is doing tomorrow.

Shoshanna is sometimes shy and contrary and doesn't want to perform, and other times she plays up like a trained monkey. It really depends on her mood. In some ways it also depends on the evaluator/therapist - S is very independent, so things go better if they follow/gently redirect what she wants to do (or convince her that she wants to do what they want her to do).
