Alexis' PT Evaluation & Gracie's Tooth Evaluation

Well it was a busy day for our Kohl girls'. We started out the morning at Lexie's physical therapy evaluation. Each time I visit the MISD it is like a big old reunion! I saw so many friends and family. It is always nice to catch up and BOY OH BOY... did they love Alexis! She was just charming everyone with her happy ways! She did really well showing Jean (a friend of mine from SVSU) all her tricks. Toe touching, pushing up, tracking, grabbing, cooing, smiling, etc. She even managed to tripod herself for a few seconds! (aka sitting) HOWEVER... she still wouldn't roll over no matter how hard we all tried or how many toys we pulled out for her. To be eligible for physical therapy she needed a delay of about 3 months... well she wasn't even close. She only has a three week delay (simply put the only thing she can't do is roll!). She isn't even eligible for the playgroup for which you need a 20% delay (1.5 months for her age). SO.... luckily she isn't going down that road. Jean did mention if she still wasn't doing it in a month she'll have to re-evaluate her.

Alexis was so wiped out she feel asleep as soon as I put her back into her carseat. Mommy did a little more visiting and people did a little more oohing and ahhing over Alexis, her coat, her hat, her bracelet, her well... HER! :)

After that eval I went and swapped girls and took Grace to the pediatric dentist for the evaluation on her tooth. She was such a big girl and went back all on her very own! She got x-rays, her teeth cleaned, and Dr. Shah checked out her tooth! While she was back there the hygienist came out and asked if she bit her tongue. I thought she meant "often", so I replied "no". She asked again if she had injured it... then I remembered the night before she was running around fell and Cameron fell on top of her. She came up and had blood in her mouth. She had bitten her mouth and tongue. So I told her what happened and she said.. well if she cried hard, it was for good reason since it was a pretty deep slit. OUCH! I explained that her name is Grace, but she is not always so "graceful"! I went back to see my girl in the chair with big old Dora glasses on and she was being so good! She had a purple snow white toothbrush, a purple balloon, floss and a (you guessed it!) PURPLE butt purse! They discussed some things for me to watch for with her tooth and that they want her back in a month to check it out. The dentist said we'll need to make a decision about what we want to do with the tooth. She explained that we can leave it or do the root canal... but if we do leave it, it can rot or abscess. She was such a star and did so great! What a big girl!
