Pop-Quiz for Alexi!

Okay, so it wasn't a pop-quiz, we knew it was coming, but Alexi had her first re-evaluation by her Early Intervention Coordinator to see how she is progressing. The verdict is....drumroll...she is doing fantastic! Did we expect any less from our little girl? Of course not, but it was so nice to see how excited our Coordinator and Developmentalist were over Alexi's progress.

Alexi hadn't seen her Developmentalist for 4 weeks between the holidays, and dad having to do snow removal on appointment days. They sure did miss each other. It was a fun 'reunion' though as Alexi showed off all of her new tricks. From talking, to her head control, to reaching out grabbing toys, she "has really come such a long way" in these last 4 weeks.

Our Coordinator hasn't been here since our very first EI meeting. She thinks Alexi is pretty awesome, too. We love how excited everyone got over Alexi's success. They both seemed kinda pleased about our efforts, as parents, too. In fact, they both took the time to compliment us, and took a couple minutes to let us know they can tell how much we are doing between sessions. I'm not gonna lie, it was great to hear that, too. To know that our hard work is being noticed, because that means it's making a big difference for Alexi.




We get our thanks every day though. Alexi thanks us by working so very hard at accomplishing her goals.

One of the greatest things to come from our meeting, is an increase in therapy sessions. Alexi is now going to see a Physical Therapist (along with her current therapists) to keep her progressing as much as possible. This means one more new friend for Alexi! The OT and PT will be working on the same things as each other for a little while, as Alexi is a bit young for when the two really become different. But getting started on PT now not only gives us an extra meeting between current sessions, but also gives us an extra perspective, and possibly some new approaches to add to her exercises.

Sorry if this blog sounds like I'm bragging, but it probably sounds like that because I am. My daughter rocks! I'd gladly shout it from the rooftop, but I live "in the sticks," so typing it here is gonna reach way more people than my 1 neighbor (and they've already met her, so they know she rocks.)
