Yesterday, Esther had her Hearing & Speech Evaluation at the hospital downtown. I had the pleasure of staying home with the younger three, so all I know is what I was told by my parents. Apparently, her hearing is excellent.. which doesn't surprise us since we sorta figured that out already. The speech pathologist was extremely impressed with how well Esther is talking and told us that she will need to be evaluated in six months. If they evaluated her now, she'd be classified as "extremely developmentally delayed" so we'll give her a few more months to pick up more English. She'll need speech therapy, but for now that's just down the road. She's doing great with speaking though. Instead of "wu-la-yu" which she used for "gotta go potty" she will now tell you she has to go "potty." She know's everyone's names, including the dogs and guinea pigs and knows where her eyes, ears, nose, head.. etc are. She also sings the cutest version of the ABC song that you've ever heard. =) I know I've said it a lot, but she's doing really well. She really is. We just need to work on the blood-curdling-screaming/temper tantrums she has thrown the last few mornings because the bathing suit has come out. And when that happens.. it's time for swimming!!
I plan on taking Esther on her first jet ski ride today.. we'll see how that goes!!! Pictures to follow!
