We received a "Birth to Three Years Final Report" from Parents as Teachers in the mail this weekend. Our parent educator has only seen Carter 5 times since we moved into a new district. Each time she came she did some sort of screening (vision, hearing, developemental, language) to see where Carter measured up. He either passed them or was above his age level (and usually by 1+ years!). I also want to share what she wrote at the bottom of the report:
"Strengths of Child: During our home visits I observed Carter's strong expressive and receptive language skills. He has a strong memory and learns concepts like shapes and colors easily. He can pedal a bike, use scissors and stack blocks. Carter is willing to participate in new activities and uses manners and social greetings. Carter's development is reflective of his home environment."
(I promise I didn't add that last sentence myself!!) Needless to say, Brad and I are awfully proud of our little guy!
Another thing we were proud of happened this weekend. Brad needed to go to the Lake of the Ozarks to do some work so Carter and I tagged along. We knew that Brad would be occuppied most of the time so we made sure we had a hotel with a pool. We went swimming a month or two ago and he clung to my neck the entire time. I made sure I grabbed his one piece suit that has a built in life vest this time. After he learned to trust the suit he took off! He did lap after lap after lap in the pool! He had a blast! I am so happy to see him comfortable with the water as I do not feel comfortable in deep water. Check out the video of our little fish! :o)
