Today was Sam’s evaluation with the publicly-funded early development screening board. Basically, three people came to our house to watch Sam play. Although the actual “recommendations” won’t come until later, their feedback was AMAZINGLY positive. Really, they didn’t say anything negative. They were impressed that Sam smiled and “talked” with them, grabbed for toys, liked being on his belly, rolled over, was aware of his surroundings, etc. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the look on the lady’s face as she got up to leave. “You have a beautiful little baby.”
Honestly, there wasn’t nearly as much weighing on this meeting as I three weeks ago would have thought there would be. But while I wasn’t surprised, I don’t think the joy will ever go away…every time I get a smile, a laugh, a look of recognition, I thank God for his gracious and abundant joy. He gives us so much more than we deserve.
I realize it’s been WAY too long since I’ve posted pictures…especially since the little guy is changing so much! He wakes up cuter (and fatter) every day, and does so many wonderful things. STAY TUNED for some pictures. 🙂
