So Abby had her PT evaluation yesterday. It went pretty well, but he thinks (as do I) that she can definitely benefit from OT. He said she will probably totally catch up to her peers within a very short period of time. Sounds good. :)

The speech therapist and teacher that came on Wednesday were also really nice. The teacher was a native Chinese (Mandarin) speaker, which helped in getting a better picture of Abby's verbal skills. It turns out that she's been using quite a few Mandarin phrases/ requests that we did not understand, such as "Pick me up." and "I want to take this." The speech therapist said that Abby's receptive skills are good and she can follow verbal directions in English quite well, but speech therapy will help her to catch up to her peers with her speaking skills.

Emily's also doing great. She had her dance recital a couple of weeks ago and had a great time (though she has decided she would rather try a different activity next school year, instead of dance class). I was sort of sad about this, but for totally selfish reasons. She looked adorable up on that stage. But I won't force her into anything. Right now she seems interested in either karate or gymnastics, so we will likely try one of these out.

I am posting some recent pictures of the girls and Emily's recital (below).
