I started our summer program this week. It is only 2 weeks long from 8-11:30, and the first week has already come and gone. It is rather easy work. I am enjoying it, even though it is summer.
We also had Wes's speech evaluation Tuesday. IT looks like he will definately qualify, but we will pretty much have to wait until school starts again for him to start receiving services.
On Wed., I met with people from Early Steps for the twins. We have been having the twins evaluated for over a month now. At their 9 month appointment, Dr Peltier was conerned about their physical development, so he suggested an evaluation. They did not pass the screening, and qualified in more than one area for the evaluation. Aiden showed a 11% delay in communication, 33% delay in physical, 22% delay in cognition, 44% delay in social emotional, and no delay in adaptive. Alex, on the other hand, showed a 67% delay in communication, 22% physical, 22% cognitive, 44% social emotional, and no delay in adaptive. Of course since then, they have grown so much developmentally that this would have changed significantly, but they would still qualify for services with their delays.
Each baby will receive and hour a week of therapy (physical/occupational) from a physical therapist and instructional therapist ( They will rotate weeks and work in different areas). Their therapy sessions begins next week. I cannot get over how much quicker this went than getting Wesley evaluated for speech.
AND TO END THE WEEK, the twins started with a stomach virus yesterday. We went take family pictures with Daniel's family. After we ate, Alex got sick in the parking lot. He continued throwing up every 15-20 minutes for a few hours. We called the doctor and as we were waiting for him to return the call, Aiden started. Aiden and Wes were at Mom's since Alex was sick. Wesley, Daniel, and I seemed to have escaped it so far (fingers crossed and knocking on wood)Both boys seemed a little better today, but they are both still miserable and are only on a Pedialite diet until the morning. Hopefully we are over the worst.

I hate that the twins are sick. When we got the stomach virus around here, Jack got it first. I got it about 2 days later and Scott 2 days later. Not sure if y'all have had it in the past, but it is so contagious, so watch it. We even spread it to Taylor, then Jamie and everyone else they came in contact with after we thought we had recovered.
