Christian had his speech eval today at Tripler. It went as I suspected it would. He was all over the place and didn't really want to do much for Dr. Lorna. But she managed to get him to do a few things for her as well as ask me a ton of questions. And, again, as I suspected he is behind in speech. He only really says 2-3 words...if that. He should be saying more than 8.
So she put in a referral for somebody to help him out through Early Intervention. They will come to the house and work with him. That will be REALLY nice because then I won't have to cart both kids to Tripler each time he needs therapy (which I did today for the first time all alone)!!
A lady in the elevator said I was brave and looked very cute for being out with both the kids. She said we all looked so put together. I told her I was happy they were both still alive! haha
There isn't much else to say about the evaluation, though. She realized just by observing him that he is ON THE GO - ALL THE TIME! She said I must be super busy at home now that Sarah is there.
She has NO idea!

We've been through that also. Jayden is on an IFSP, but now were fighting trying to get a therapist. I'm actually in the process of contact SD Advocasy because our service coordinator told me he might have to go without services. That is a BIG no no!! That's just a piece of everything. I hope things go smooth for Christian. And I LOVE your idea of Project 365! Way cool! (Maybe I'll copy you) My friend did something like that but she photographed sunrises for an entire year.
