Today we had Lily's speech evaluation. They deemed that she was not far enough along developmentally to benefit from intensive speech therapy. So, we will have it once a month for now.
That's fine with me...my schedule is pretty full with Lily appointments as it is. Besides, the therapist said it was clear that we were pretty in touch with the therapies that Lily needed, and it was obvious we worked with her quite frequently.
I wish I could get her to say something other than "Ma". She seems to have even forgotten how to make the "Ba" sound, because she's all wrapped up in ma ma ma ma ma ma ma.
Now, it gives me the warm fuzzies to hear her say ma ma, but she needs to move on, and add another sound to her repertoire.
The therapist also asked if we were doing sign, and said that it would definitely be a good idea for her... give her a feeling of more control about her communication. So, hopefully she'll get to that point soon. I want to be able to teach her, and learn it myself, but not until she is ready.
I'm so tired it isn't funny, and Lily has yet another doctors appointment tomorrow. Lovely.
However, this an appointment with the new pediatrician, so hopefully the one we get this time will seem confident, and actually listen to me.
