This is a brag post, so feel free to skip it if you don't want to hear me going on and on about my daughter! :) Although, I can't take much credit, seeing as how she is adopted and doesn't have any of mine or Stuart's genes. Ali is being tested a bunch lately by the Up-to-3 program because she is 18 months. They do testing every 6 months to re-evaluate the services she needs. She had her speech therapist come and she said she is right on track speech wise. Then our family therapist came and did a cognitive test for Ali. The scoring for this test is a little different. A score of 11 is par or right on track. A score lower than 11 is a delay and above 11 is awesome. Drum roll please................
Ali scored a 13!!! That's right, she's a genius! No delay here! She has mastered 55% of the skills she needs by the time she's 3 years old. And she probably would've passed more off if she was walking! We knew all along she was smart! The family therapist said that she isn't surprised that Ali tested so high, but was still very impressed with the results! She said that at the rate Ali is going, once she walks and talks fluently, Up-to-3 might not need to come anymore and she can be mainstreamed right into kindergarten without additional help. :) Good job Aliyah!
How cute is this tan little body?!?
Ali is way into doing the splits lately, she just keeps pushing her little legs out further and further to the side. I wish I had even a tiny bit of her flexibility!
Ali is in LOVE with Morty. She crawls/scoots to the edge of the carpet (Morty isn't allowed on the carpet) and yells at him. A mix of Puh (puppy) and Muh (Morty). Every so often he'll come and check her out. Today she even got a kiss! She was thrilled!!!
