Big week....

This has been a big week - Tuesday the boys had dental check-ups, yesterday we had a meeting at the school for Trevor to start in the birth to three program, and today we had their checkups at the pediatrician. Tomorrow morning we'll be going to Trevor's classroom to check it out and meet the teachers. He will start next week - just Thursday mornings from 9 - 11. He'll have speech therapy during this time, and they will also keep an eye on his adaptive and motor skills. He qualified for occupational therapy for adaptive on the original eval done by the health department, but he seems to be right on for his age, so there's really nothing specific for them to work on. We'll see how he does, we always have the option to take him out if we don't like how things are going, or for any other reason. My hope is that when they re-evaluate next year, things will be pretty well on track and he won't need to go into the preschool program. We'll see! I kind of have mixed feelings about Trevor going to the program, part of me thinks he's just fine, why are we doing this? The other part knows that starting speech now will only help. He's starting to get really frustrated when we don't understand him. And I think the time with peers will be a good thing. The check-ups this morning went pretty good. Thankfully, Geoff's work was shutdown today due to the snow, so he was able to come with. I was so concerned about getting Jaylen in there and not so worried about Trevor, but Jaylen did great and Trevor was the one who cried half the time! I was really impressed with how Jaylen just walked right in, no problems; talked to the doctor and nurse, everything. I never know how he's going to do in different situations, so I was quite relieved that he did so great! Jaylen is still 95th percentile for height and over that for weight (52 pounds), and Trevor is still 90th percentile for weight (31.5 pounds) and over the 95th for height! We got some big boys! Jaylen also impressed the doctor with his counting by 5's and 10's... he loves to show off how smart he is. :)
