This is why no one would pay me to blog professionally. There really isn't anything new going on. The girls are happily enjoying summer.
Yesterday we had a team from Early Intervention come to evaluate Selene. At this point Ainsley was speaking in sentences, singing songs and strangers could understand her. Selene's words take me a minute to understand and until a month ago she only had a few. I made the appointment right before my family's vacation and then she boomed while away. The speech pathologist mentioned that is quite common. I noticed it happened with Ainsley every time we spent a week in Indiana, away, etc.
Well, Selene engaged with the behavioral specialist, they watched her play with Ainsley, she talked, they listed all the words she could say, and that they heard her do. And at the end not only did they say she didn't qualify for services but that she was above 100% in every category, which they see 1% of the time, so they were pretty excited.
Thankfully I warned them at the beginning that I might be the crazy mom. But it was so nice to have their reassurance that she is beyond perfect in cognitive, social, motor skills, etc.
And while Selene is developing perfectly, Ainsley is developing perfectly into a little "teenager". We're working on the attitude and disobedience, it's not fun and I'm afraid it's only just begun!
