Hello! I was on the boards for a while and then doing the weight loss thread but things got/are so hectic lately at our house! For one thing our computer was down for about 2 weeks so I couldn't be online for awhile..it's really frustrating when you don't have a computer! So I'm glad I'm back! I have to share with you Jacob's 1 year eval from starting EI....we began this journey when he was 16 months old and that very first eval his cognitive skills were that of a 9 month old...I was horrified and thought he would never catch up. Well now after a year of speech/ot and early childhood (he's 29 months old ) his cognitive skills are at a 27 month old...I could hardly believe it. I was so happy I had tears in my eyes when they told me. His speech is still extremely behind but I know deep down he will talk someday. He is so smart. He knows his shapes, colors, numbers 1-10...he understands 2 step commands. Just today I asked him to throw something in the garbage and he did and didn't even play with the lid! So I am so hopeful for his future and so glad we got him going when we did...

Just had to share! It's great to be back!
