"Testing"

There were two types of tests that happened today.

Kaylen looking at a book during her evaluation

Kaylen was tested first. Her test was quite a literal test. I am concerned about her speech, since that seems to "run" in the family. All of the other kids have had speech therapy starting in pre-school. I took Kaylen to the district offices where different evaluations were done. Her hearing and vision were tested. She passed both. Her "social" and developmental levels were also evaluated. She fell within normal range, which didn't surprise me. They did determine that a more in-depth evaluation of speech is needed. I have that scheduled for next week. I'm anxious to see what the results will be. (I'm sure I'll post them.)

The next "test" was for Spencer. Actually, I believe it was a test of my patience (waiting).

Spencer at the x-ray lab

Yesterday when Spencer was jumping on the trampoline, he fell and burst out screaming. He cried, hopped, and crawled all night. He even sat in my desk chair and wheeled around, like a wheelchair. It was still swollen in the morning, so I scheduled a doctor visit. We went to the doctor's office and the doctor requested x-rays. We went to the lab. He got x-rays which we took back to the doctor. No broken bones! Apparently Spencer sprained his ankle. The doctor wrapped up Spencer's ankle, which Spencer has said has helped it to feel better. He has hopped around all day long, even all around the doctor's office, the x-ray lab, and up our stairs. He has been a trooper!

Spencer has been taking it easy today. He now has an official excuse to play the Wii.
