Kenzie's report card came home today. I am sure that all report cards went home today. I was pleased with it. I have had problems in the past with preschools not wanting to give me a sense of how she is doing at school, but since I enrolled her in the Preschool PALS Program, I have had no problem with this. Here is what she is doing now:

So, there we have it. This is what she is doing now. And that gives me a good starting point for what I can be doing with her. I am happy to know what I can do with her now because I was feeling kind of lost as to what I could do to help her in school. Now I know. And I am happy that there has already been some progress. I know it isn't major progress yet, but in time, she will be a step ahead! My baby girl is growing up so much and I am so proud of her for not being so far behind that they can't catch her up. In speaking with the speech therapist, she said that Kenzie is not very far behind at all and that most of her sounds are age appropriate, so, she said we will have her up to par in no time. I am thinking that when she says no time she means the end of this year or sometime next year. We will see! Anyway, I will post again when I can. Kenzie is on Fall Break now, so I may not be able to post right away or maybe I will just stay up later at night to do it! Anyway, talk to you all soon!
Love,
Dawn
