#MicroblogMondays: Graduation

Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.

Two weeks ago She-Beat graduated from physical therapy. To prepare for this, we had her go through a full-reassessment, covering cognitive, social skills, speech and both fine & gross motor skills. Though she is behind with speech (assessed through my reporting, which I warned them is incomplete due to my focus on the motor skills), the thought is she has made such HUGE leaps forward with her gross motor that it's likely she's start making headway in this area soon. In short, they are no longer concerned about her. In fact, they are insanely impressed with what she's accomplished in such a short period of time and the fact that her fine motor, cognitive and social skills are excellent, they don't think we'll be seeing them again.

The icing on the cake is this weekend She-Beat started walking unsupported. Much to the chagrin of He-Beat (poor kid is SO jealous that his sister is getting lots of attention). 

Following an emotional last PT session, I took the Beats to the Seattle Center to celebrate. Walking to the International Fountain and then under the Space Needle.

Another chapter closed. Another one begins
