Took DS2 for 12mth developmental checkup. Ds is 16mths old!!! Thats how far behind checks are.
Anyway - she placed 3 tiny screwed up pieces of paper in front of him on the table and wanted him to pick them up with his pincer grip (thumb and index finger). He grabbed 1 with his fist and the Dr said it was a concern. When I asked her why she said that the test is a test of intelligence!!!??? Is she trying to say DS is thick!!!??? I was soooooo annoyed. He picks up using pincer grip all the tme at home but that was not good enough for her.

Anyone else had similar experiences?
