Jackson's Evaluation

Today Jackson had a developmental evaluation through the school district because we've had a few concerns of late.  But Jackson is on par with peer group.  Very good news! Though he seems to struggle a bit with recognizing letters, and really struggles with holding a pencil and hand strength, he's average...behind some peers and ahead of a few others.  So, we just need to keep on pushing him.  We can do that!

Thinking about the development of our kids--we have the entire spectrum.  Alyssa hits her milestones on the early side of typical.  Jackson hits his milestones on the later side of typical.  And Matthew hits his milestones off the curve.  I remember with a smile a total stranger looking at Jackson in his infant carrier with Alyssa toddling next to him and her telling me "oh honey, you needed more than one child.  It keeps you humble, because never again will you say the words 'but my kid doesn't do that', because you now will have a kid that does that!"  Oh, it is becoming more and more obvious that truer words have never been spoken.
