My little Bean is doing so well. I can't believe how far he's come. The teachers and TAs at ECIS can see the difference too. He's been attending ECIS for about a year now and the change over that time, particularly in the last couple of months, has been amazing. They've seen him go from clinging to me, not talking, sooo many sensory issues and minimal facial expressions to this incredibly bubbly, chatty, cheeky, expressive toddler.
I am so grateful that he's had access to early intervention. It's something that I'll always regret Shmoo not being able to access. We only had one child health nurse raise any kind of concern regarding Shmoo and by that time I'd had a multitude of health care professionals repeatedly tell me (yet another one of those paranoid, first-time mothers that I obviously was 8-| ) that he was just very shy/quirky/must be normal because he was meeting developmental milestones okay. The early intervention and the (occasionally questionable) benefits of having an extroverted older brother to mimic in social situations has made such a difference to Beanie :)
