The things she is saying now…
June 28th, 2009
What an amazing difference a year makes.
At one corrected (15 months actual) last year, we thought she might possibly be trying to say “cat” - but it was neither clear nor consistent so we weren’t sure.
As it turned out, she was trying to say cat. Since then, her progress has been astounding.
This week we had her 2 year corrected review, and the results are almost unbelievable.
Language development - 98th percentile for corrected age - 92nd percentile for chronological age, “representing a developmental age equivalent to 31 months for receptive communication and between 37 and 39 months for expressive language skills.”
Things she has said in the past week that made me stop and write them down I was so impressed:
- Oscar sitting on the chair, on the pillow
- There’s another little corn tin
- That’s pretty groovy
- No want Talia’s rocking horse at Mothers’ Group, no want Talia’s rocking horse with Talia’s friends
- Mum draw pink octopus like this octopus
- No want lying down
- No want talk to daddy
- There’s a beetle inside treasure box
- There’s a lizard up on the branch
- Mum washed Talia’s dog and bones ‘jamas
- That’s very good Talia
We have not only caught up with language - we’ve leapfrogged quite a few full-termer friends!
