Graduated!

I know I say this all the time, but I'm very sad about all the growing up going on around here. Yesterday was Joey's last visit with our parent educator because he will be turing three next month. After being in the program for over 7 years, it is very sad to hear it all coming to an end. She did all the testing on Joey and he actually scored above average in almost everything which really surprised me. I guess I think of him as older because of how big he is and so I don't realize how many advanced things he does. Simple things like getting dressed by himself I though most 2 years old did but actually most kids don't do this until they are 3 or 4 years old. Building blocks because he loves building. He was actually building at a much older age. His speech, which I credit to his constant talking older siblings, was well over his age. His large motor skill was also advanced I think because all he does is jump all day, hence his nick name jumping Joey. And his fine tuned fine motor skills I believe comes from picking up all the small pieces of toys his siblings leave laying around. So with no delays in any area, Joey is now out of the parents as teachers program......boooo! As my friend Melissa would say.....stupid growing!!!!!!
