Today

Harrison had his first of several evaluations today to move from First Step (the state's early intervention program) to having his Speech and OT in a clinic. We had visited the clinic before and he handled the visit well but he does not usually take too kindly to evaluations so we did not Know what to expect for today. We have been talking about his "New School" for a few days, got a gift (aka prize) for his new OT ready this morning before we headed out and hoped for the best. He has had one rough day, and when I say rough I mean ROUGH so I was waiting for the worst. We left about 45 mins early in hopes that he would take a short nap and wake up in a better mood which was a gamble. He did take about a 20 min nap and woke up in a GREAT MOOD, and did really good at the clinic. He went by himself with his new "teacher" and had a blast. I am so glad because truth be known, I was dreading today. It is a completely different feeling for therapist to come to the house than to take your child to a clinic and having to rehash all the areas where your child falls short. But God is good, and his OT was super sweet and Harrison LOVED her, an answer to prayer for sure. Remember Harrison does not "take" to everyone. Next week he goes back for the speech evaluation on Monday and the second part of the OT evaluation on Wednesday we are hoping for a repeat from today :)
