Lots of great news

I wish I had time to report everyday, but I haven't had time. The biggest thing that happened is that last Monday, S's OT remarked at how she had progressed in the past few weeks. I have not told him that we are doing NR. He didn't seem too crazy about the idea and his only comment was that, "It couldn't hurt." So I chose not to tell him that we were doing the therapy. I think this is important because the OT is just seeing the progress without expecting anything. Today we had our first class at the Early Intervention Center. I stayed with her the entire time and she had a wonderful time. After thinking about her day there *all 2 &1/2 hours* of it, she was by far the happiest child there. It was actually a little disheartening to realize that none of the kids smiled while they were there. A bit odd of an observation. On a good note, they started singing ring around the rosy and S started singing some of the words! She hasn't heard the someg in months and she has only heard it a total of 10 times. My theory about her is being confirmed, I have always thought that she is storing all of this up and will show us one day all she has been taking in. I have thought this since we were home only a few months. She would say a word, but only once. It was like she was trying it out and would just start talking one day. It hasn't happened all at once, but once she started, it has come at a rapid rate. She is really doing a lot of talking. I think she is starting out this class as one of the special needs class, and will end the 10 weeks as one of the role model children. Although I believe she is the oldest child, she fits right in with the other kids, even ahead of many of them. The most wonderful thing about her class is that all of the kids appeared to be the same. I will try to write more tomorrow to catch up on all I've missed.
