A Tad Depressing, But It'll Be Alright

Now that Thanksgiving is over and Kaitrin has done some fabulous things I am feeling a little better, but last week was hard. Kaitrin received her 'report card' from school. She is in a class from 8 to 14 months. And for those of you who are keeping up, Kaitrin is 16 months old...so she is behind in the class already. Beside the fact that she is the only one in her class that crawls to me when I arrive...all of her class mates walk, she isn't doing some simple gross/fine motor movements. Now, up until this 'report card', I was flowing with things just fine...she has until 3 years of age to catch up say the medical journals...and we will cross that bridge when we get there. But as I read through the items that she is not doing: stacking blocks (she knocks them down), doesn't verbally respond to music nor does she dance, not making many noises or letter sounds, or even walking on flat feet...it gets me a little. From one end of the spectrum to the other though...she was 2 pounds and unable to breathe on her own when she was born to being a little behind at 16 months...she is doing fine whatever she is doing!
