Preschool Screening
We went to Madison’s preschool screening today. It went well. I really did not plan on sending her to preschool this fall, but I wanted to make sure that she was where she needs to be developmentally. We also learned some thing we need to work on.
First, the kid cannot catch. I did not know this. I guess Bill knew this. So we will need to work on this. She also cannot hop on one foot or skip.
Next, she does not hold a pencil correctly. I did not know this either. However, I know why this is an issue for her. I am right handed. Bill is left handed. See the problem?
She knew the majority of her body parts. The ones she didn’t know were like heel and forehead. Not ones you work on everyday.
She did know her name and that she was a girl. She also knew she was 3. Thank goodness they did not ask where she lives. Her answer to that question is “the beach”. Let me tell you, Chicago is no beach. LOL
She got all of the color except for grey. However, when they asked her to point to something grey she did.
She knew all her shapes. She was also able to take blocks and build them in the patterns they wanted her too.
She didn’t know what she was suppose to do if she broke something. Surprisingly, at home, she knows. LOL She did know if it was dark that you turned the light on.
They also did a hearing test that she passed.
That’s all I can remember right now, but like I said, it went well. I am not too concerned about the things we have to work on.
My Day Today
Madison is sick. She climbed into bed with us around 6 and was extremely restless. About seven, I asked her what was wrong and she told me her butt hurt. About eight, she threw up all over the bed. Normally, this would not be too bad, but being pregnant, my gag reflex sucks. We then moved into the living room. The bedrooms have carpet and is hard to clean. We moved into the living room with the hardwood floors. Plus, the furniture all has stain guard. She threw up again after we moved into the living room on the floor. I cannot find a thermometer in the house to see if she is running a fever. Her body is really hot, but her forehead does not feel as hot as her body. She’s not sweating either, so I can’t tell if she’s running a fever or not. This is how the flu started last year that she ended up in the hospital, so keep your fingers crossed!
