This post is so that when I think that Miles isn't moving forward at all and has totally and completely stagnated, I can look back at this and see some evidence that he's always changing and learning new things. This is a good ol' bar chart showing his scores in the six major areas that he gets evaluated in as part of the Early Intervention program. The 8/2009 date he was 14 months old. On 7/2010 he was 25 months old, and on the 5/2011 evaluation date he was one month shy of 3 years old. As you can see, he's made HUGE strides over the last year. I asked why his adaptive score went down while all others went up and found out that it's because the expectations in that area (adaptive=self care. ie: teeth brushing, hand washing, getting dressed, bathed, fed, etc) increase drastically as you approach three years old. SO, we've got some work to do in that area, but who cares. He'll get there eventually....right? Right!?!? ;-)

Great to see the little guy is doing so well. Will we be seeing you folks this summer?
Leah, with the love and attention that you and Eric and the twins give this special little guy, not only will he continue to grow and improve daily-- he is flourishing!
My heart so goes out to you. I know how much you want Miles to not have to struggle, it's a "Mom" thing.
You, my dear, are a wonderful Mom!
What she said! Love you MOM and DAD
