Looking Ahead

Edie LOVES the middle.
Daddy brings her to school in the morning. The twins and I pick her up at 11:15am.

The girls sandwich her between the two of them. The three of them hold hands as we walk back to the car. Then the rapid fire begins. Each sister taking a turn asking Edie about her day. Who was there? Who was NOT there? Which teachers where there? Which teacher was NOT there? What was for snack? What was for drink? Was it anyones birthday? Did you play outside? Did you do arts and crafts? What was your job?...The list goes on and on. We get home and the twins RUN to the playground and Edie comes inside with me to start lunch. She usually asks me if she can lay on the couch and watch a show which means she needs a few minutes to regroup from a busy day at school and then her rapid fire interrogation on the ride home.
Next year should be interesting.
I'm sure it will be like riding home with a truck full of chickens clucking away.

Edie will be in the 4 year old program next year.
We go for her annual IEP review on May 28th. She is doing great and is still working on her Speech and Language Development.

Progress reports came home at the begining of the month and she has progressed from 'developing' on her new skills to 'secure', in just 4 months!

She continues to amaze and charm us with her speech development. Next quarter they are working on /l, s/, and I'm sure this will really start to fine tune her speech.

We've been working on the a few things daily.

Milk is mick.
Drink is wink.
Straw is swa.

We have her watch how our mouth makes the word and we have her repeat it. She tries so hard and we've come a long way from her 'eh-eh', which was her only word for EVERYTHING!

I've been trying to get her to do the /r/ in Reagan, and Aubrey, she says it with a /w/ Way-gan and Aub- wee. It's still a long way from Adooo and Lala that she affectionatly referred to them as less than a year ago!Aubrey and Reagan are registered for Kindergarten! They go June 4th for thier assesments. It looks like all three kids will be in the afternooon program.
All three at one school, at the same time!

Let's Talk About It







I'd love to know what they were trying to figure out.
