Show and Tell - Who Cares About the FET When I Get News Like This...

There is nothing to show, but there is a whole lot to tell.

So, as you know, we just had our EI evaluations. I was nervous wreck about them and walked away feeling like I am a miserable failure as a mother. Well, this week I finally got the completed evals back for my review. You know what?

My boys fucking R.O.C.K.

ROCK, I tell you!

Wanna know why?

I'll tell you why...

Sh.awn's eval:

actual age: 22 months 29 days
adjusted age: 19 months 29 days

cognition - 16 months (although we all agree this is on the low side of what it actually is. unfortunately, the tests for cognition use fine motor skills, one of his weaknesses, so it will likely be on the low side until he is either talking better or is no longer delayed in fine motor skills. the therapists and I informally agree that he is probably at his adjusted age or higher here.)
Gross motor - big delay (delay, we spit in your face. pa-tooey.)
Fine motor - delayed
Social emotional - 25 months!
Self-Help - adjusted age!
Language - adjusted age!

Ja.son's eval:

actual age: 23 months 3 days
adjusted age: 20 months 3 days

cognition - adjusted age!
Gross motor - delayed (damn lack of walking)
Fine motor - delayed (I am not sure I agree with this--I think he wasn't interested in doing their testing. plus he doesn't exactly like his therapist. plus, his delay keeps him qualified for OT--a little too neat, isn't it?)
Social emotional - actual age!
Self-Help - adjusted age!
Language - adjusted age!

See?!!? My boys are rockstars. I am so proud. :-)

Go see what the rest of the class is showing!
