Mackenzie's evaluation

Three people from the early intervention came to the house on Thursday. They sat at the table with Mackenzie and had her do certain activities (puzzles, pegs, sorting, drawing, etc.) and she did really well. Too well, I'm afraid. Because she's so far ahead in everything except her speech, she doesn't qualify for services right now. The occupational therapist gave me some exercises to do with her to help strengthen her mouth, lips, and tongue, and hopefully those will help.

I have seen great advances in Kenzie's speech in the past couple of weeks, so hopefully she's just catching up at her own speed in the speech department. She can now say "Katie," which she hadn't been able to master previously.
