Emma's speech evaluation

Well, I sure wasn't expecting what we heard today!

They said that Emma is in the normal level of speech development for her age! :shock I guess that means Callie is way beyond her age. Mom said as soon as Phil & Emma left, Callie just looked at her and said, "Where's Emma?" "Daddy?" "Mommy?" "Josh?" She went down the whole list wondering why she was left there all alone!

Emma's in the low end of normal, but she doesn't qualify for speech therapy!

We were told to have her pediatrician look at her in about 6 months and see what they think. If they think she's not where she needs to be, then we'll go back and be re-evaluated. He showed us some things to do to work with her.

He said her comprehension is well beyond what it should be for her age (yay). She was above normal there. :) That was never a concern of mine, though. I KNEW she was comprehending.

It was funny, because she didn't want to cooperate the whole time, but when she was asked to point out certain objects, she did so like she was bored...she was like, "Why are you asking me these stupid questions?".

I don't know what I really think of all of this. I was fully prepared to start therapy - now we don't (yet). We'll just keep working with her at home and see how she does. It's funny, because in the last 2 days, she's really made an effort to talk (she hasn't really even tried much before).
