ANTICIPATION

So tomorrow morning our little madam is having her first speech and language assessment. You would think after many years of this particular health department I'd know what to expect or at the very least comfortable.
So why am I as nervous now as I was with Tom? I know that receptively Jessica is very bright and definitely shows she understands probably more then she should given her age, and whilst she is now starting to progress from a language point of view I'm still worried nervous about a professionals point of view but more so as they are outsiders and do not hear or see what we do, what I do.

BRUTAL HONESTY!

I also know that a lot of my concerns about tomorrow are down to how Jessica reacts every time we go to the children's. To say it is stressful is really putting mildly to say that Jessica refuses to comply more often then not is also a very truthful statement.

Things I take with me to try and elevate some of Jessica's anxiety's towards the children's hospital are:

Favourite book
Bubbles
Comfort teddy (meow meow & chicken)
a few toys
drinks and snacks
Blanket

WISH US LUCK
