Before she turns 11 months

Elise - 10 Months

We have the IEP to find out all the results of her testing tomorrow at 3. I know in my heart and mind that she is fine and just a slow poke developmentally but I am worried that the professionals will see otherwise. Isn't she beautiful?

We've met with the Early Intervention folks a couple of times to test Elise and both times she hasn't been very cooperative. She is definitely ELISE and not just a baby. She fits into our family so well since we are all bull-headed, obstinate, and opinionated.

Here she is the on the quilt top I made for Jeff for his birthday, yeah, the birthday was back in January. it is now sandwiched with the back, hand basted, and the machine quilting has begun.

She is a beautiful baby. Good luck tomorrow. I will pray it all goes well.

Elise seems to be doing just fine to me. I think you KNOW when things are a struggle and when kids are just progressing at their own rate.

No worries about those experts. We're going to see Charlie's physiatrist today which is always a bit of an adventure. He's really nice, but he's also kind of agressive. I think he LIKES working with special needs kids, so he sees everything. I am steeling myself for him to suggest baclofen. I'm not interested in it at this point. In the future we'll see, but for now--no.

Elise will do fine.

No baclofen! yay!

Professionals have a very clinical way of looking at things and often jump to the wrong conclusions. You know your little girl better than anyone so trust your instincts.
