Best Part of the Day - My parents brought decor items for Quinn and Wes' rooms (per my request :) The stick on the wall, glow in the dark planets for Qunn's room were a huge success as was the handpainted (by my dad) oar for Wes' room. Quinn, my mom and I spent a hour putting up all the planets ... then when it got dark out we shut the door to the room. "Hooray" cried Quinn. "This is AWESOME" enthused Wes who then tried to take some of the planets off the walls to put in HIS room.

Worst Part of the Day - Wes still on a "pee in my pants" kick. It grows old and regression cannot be tolerated.

Quinn - I had a meeting with Quinn's Speech Path today. It was billed as just an ordinary evaluation. It turned out that Quinn has met every single goal on his ESP (can't recall what this stands for). So Quinn is now 'graduated' from speech. No tapering off, no one more month - the kiddo is just done. And the amazing thing is that he is reading short sentences - even the Speech Path was wowed (wowed because most kiddos with a speech delay tend to read late). We were talking about Quinn and his prior Speech Path was in on the meeting (she had Quinn from Feb to May of this year). She said "when I got Quinn he was SEVERE. He has improved 2 1/2 to 3 years since then." Whoa. We've come a long way baby.
