Wednesday afternoon Nick and I met with Trystan's teacher. I didn't know what to expect out of Trystan, so everything she told us was a surprise (well almost everything).
A little background.
When she was 2 we started getting concerned about her speech. She babbled a lot but very few of her words were understandable. Then started the testing. First it was hearing. Perfectly fine. Next was cognative. She could understand everything we said. After that was done it was decided that she just had speech difficulties. We then started speech therapy. She was 3 at the time. Three times a week for a year, then starting prechool and going twice a week really improved her language. Her prechool teachers commented on how much she had improved and Mrs. Halsey said she didn't even think she needed to go to speech therapy.
So back to Wednesday.
Trystan is excelling in her class. She has reached the kindergarten standard in almost all areas. We are now working on site words to learn how to read. She does have one problem though. She is very social. Especially when they are supposed to be listening to the teacher. So we decided that she should be moved closer to the front of the carpet so that she wouldn't have as many distractions. Hopefully that works and we are on our way to first grade.
