Smarty pants! and teeth!

we had a HMG visit the other day an the SLP came out to do her assessment on kinsley. i told her to start we had no real speech concerns it was mainly the swallowing issues. and she confirmed we have nothing to worry about right now. kinsley did everything on the 15-18 month assessment and even had a few items score on the 21 month assessment. as far as swallowing they aren't really able to help with that either. both the SLP and the home teacher asked if we had thought about putting her in the preschool as a peer when she is 3. i said we would like to, but where her birthday falls they probably won;t take her till she is 4. there is another local preschool that seems great, i know alot of moms that have kids that go there and they are all happy and from what i have seen i think i would like it too, at least for her 3 yr old year. can you believe this time next year i will be signing her up for preschool!!!!!!

we have more teeth!!!!! we have the 2 bottom cuspids (the pointy ones) and one for sure molar on the top and possibly a second!!!!

no more speech

well we had another speech session wed. but we will no longer be going. after talking with the SLP, it is just not something that will be helpful for kinsley. her actual eating of food is fine it is the drinking that is the problem and all we can do for that is thicken the liquids and wait. i am glad we did the few sessions that we did so we know more about what is going on and that her oral motor development is good. so we will go back in a few months for another swallow study and see what happens with that.

speech

kinsley will be starting speech next week. not real sure what they will be doing but i am interested in finding out. i know we are going to the therapist that works with kids with feeding issues so she should have alot to offer. we will keep you posted.
