Early Intervention

Well, with Grace turning 3 soon, she has aged out of Early Intervention. That means goodbye to her two therapists. It was sad to say goodbye after seeing them almost every week for a year. They helped Grace so much and really put a lot of effort into connecting with her. Grace made it very difficult in the beginning. She had walls up all over the place! I'll miss kicking around ideas on how to help Grace, learning more about my daughter through them and the chit chat :) I'm not sure if Grace feels this as a loss yet. We talked about it being their last day and tried to prepare her for not seeing them anymore. And then Grace was a little stinker the whole time!!! I felt bad that their last day was with a little girl with major attitude.

Grace was evaluated by the Intermediate Unit and qualified for more behavior services, but not OT. She will be getting a new therapist soon that will come to the house until Grace starts preschool in September. Grace still continues to be headstrong and they feel that she will benefit from support in school until they see how she does. At home, things are pretty much under control, however she does require lots of discipline. She has come so far over the past year, but is still my most challenging child:) And possibly the funniest too!!! She keeps us laughing!

Jeanette-Hope is very head strong as well! I think raising a girl is a lot more challenging then we anticipated! Plus they have older brothers and a daddy that make excuses for them;)
