Bragging moment ahead: Carleigh was evaluated with our EI Specialist and we found out that she is on target in all areas except speech and she is just a few months behind! I am not overly concerned with speech as she has blossomed in the past 2 months! Her vocabulary is up to about 50 words! She also is starting to put 2 words together like "Good girl!" "Thank you!" "More ba-ba aka... drink!" She also follows two step directions like go get the ball and bring it to Mommy, go get your shoes and coat. She is also trying to take clothes on and off. Her learning is just taking off! This summer, I really want to focus on the alphabet, shapes, numbers and colors with her and Cody. Also, Cody can identify the number A, B, C, E, K and Y! Carleigh can identify about 10 letters also. We are getting to the stage that I have been dreaming about.
When I was on the farm field trip, Cody's new preschool teacher commented that she has seen growth in Cody in the past 5 weeks that she has been there. Oh I just love hearing that! There is no limit to their learning or potential!
AND...Carleigh loves the outdoors! She will throw a fit when she has to go indoors! Today, I had to stay in the blazing sun for about 45 minutes because she had to "mow" the yard with her bubble lawnmower about 20 times! She also didn't take a nap because Matt said that she was so excited about playing outside. Oh boy!!
Well, I have less than 4 weeks of school left and I can't wait to stay home, sleep in, play and teach my kiddos a few things. And of course...we are going to the OCEAN the second week of June!!

I wish we lived closer. My kids would LOVE to indulge Carleigh in playing outside (while we mommies had iced tea or coffee with a side of gab fest).
The kids are doing soooo well, Jen. You and Matt should really feel proud of the job you're doing.
Sounds like we'll be done with school at the same time? My kids and I will finish around June 2 (yes, we homeschool on Saturdays).
I can't wait for summer!
Blessings,
