Dip me in ketchup, I'm fried.

We have just returned from the follow up visit for Rose's psycho-educational evaluation. She's been officially diagnosed with dyslexia and ADD.

Nothing I didn't really know deep down already, just from working and living with her.

The follow up lasted almost three hours. That's a lot of information! I'm extremely thankful that the evaluators were so friendly and thorough, but at the same time I'm ready for a long nap. And a good cry, LOL. I didn't think it would hit me so hard to have a professional tell me what I already knew.

I came home to find out that the baby had fallen down the stairs, my oldest two had been fighting like cats and dogs while I was gone, and at one point all 5 of them were crying at the same time. My poor parents!! I bet they want a nap now too. :)

Now I'm off to figure out just what to do next. The examiners suggested Orton-Gillingham training given my background as a speech-language pathologist. I wonder if they have a session that takes nursing toddlers? ;-)
