We received Adam's 1st progress report from school today. Check marks for self help, fine motor, talking, social-emotional, and using potty (despite having a full-blown accident last week). Comments: We enjoy having Adam in our class. At times needs reminders to share and not take toys from friends. (What 3 year old doesn't?).
We also had a speech evaluation yesterday that the school offered. The therapist, Susan, was wonderful and was able to get Adam to stop trying to run away and engage him enough to answer her questions. I told her the only concerns we had were Adam's "F's" like when he says "foot" it's more like "thoot". She agreed and said to try to get him to say a word that ends in an "f" and then one that begins (off foot) since he can do it at the end of the word just fine. She also said he needs to close his teeth on "S" because that is also a little "th". Due to his tongue still being a little bit larger, she said his speech is a little "slushy" but she had no problem understanding him. She didn't have any real concerns that would require actual therapy, just those couple of things to work on. Also, the test was geared for 4 year-olds so not so bad for a little dude who just turned 3! :)
And last but not least, Adam's ultrasound was normal and his afp went up a couple of points but not enough to be concerned.
