Ana's 3 year check up
Hi

Ana was at the doctor's today..she turned 3 about 4 weeks ago..

So happy to say Ana has gained almost 4 inches in height and a whopping 6 lbs in the last year!! She is still speech delayed from her incident in 2004, but otherwise she is developmentally on target. She knows all her colors, can count to 5, can say her full name, can draw a circle and a straight line, dress herself fairly well, and is can say the letters of the alphabet with coaxing, and can point to at least 4 letters when asked. She is in big girl underwear during the day. Between the ST twice a week and me being home all week with her 1:1 she has come a long way..
Her height and weight are 50%tile..she still has aways to go, but we are making progress! She was sooo advanced before Dec 2004, and she had regressed by about 2 years..now she is finally at her age level with everything but her speech..yeah!

Here is a recent photo..

you are an amazing mother!!

I am so happy the sleep thing is getting better, that must make a huge difference for the whole family.

What a success story!!! I hope your documenting what you are doing, you certainly aren't the only parent that this has happened to. Glad to see so much progress--

Good for you!!!!

Laura
