We had a full developmental assesment done on DS today. Nearly two hours of shape sorting and putting blocks on top of each other and walking etc etc... goodness it was exhausting. Felt like I was doing an exam. First time a doctor has examined him since we got home and the result was...
Based on his adjusted age (he was a 2lb 26 week premmie ) he is absolutely on target for his age physically and mentally he is about a month ahead. No orphanage delays left at all, this from a child who didn't sit up unaided until he was 12 months! No obvious signs of problems from the prematurity, in fact if the blood tests (for anaemia etc) come back normal he doesn't want to see us again.
The doctor kept saying to me "and you've only had him home three months?" .
