Early Steps

Today was my assessment with Early Steps for my low tone - I passed with flying colors! I tested ahead of my age for intellectual skills (I can pull a washcloth off my face- that's a 5 month skill!), right on for physical skills, and behind on my adaptive skills, though still within the range of normal. I loved the toys they brought and all of the talking and attention! Mommy was pleased to hear that all that time in the sling and being carried is most likely what helped me to make such good progress and avoid time in physical therapy. The therapists mentioned that I do still show some signs of low tone and might need a little extra help when it comes time for crawling and walking. They showed Mom some exercises to do that will help me to grow stronger, and were all for the starting of massage classes as well. Also if we need their help again they would be happy to come back out because we had so much fun! But for now, I'm looking good and making forward progress.
