Well, Princess Magpie and Princess Snifflefritz had their growth and development checked yesterday. I have been a little concerned with them both so I was glad to get them in.
We found out that my concerns were valid. Princess Snifflefritz is behind in her gross motor skills and she was referred to a physical therapist (or something like that) to work on her gross motor skills. She has also fallen on the growth curve. If she falls anymore she would have to be checked out. I knew she hasn't been eating as well and we will continue to work with her on that. She has never been a great eater from the day she was born.
Princess Magpie has been referred to a speech therapist and also has been referred for a check for high functioning autism like her older sister. She recommended that we put Princess Magpie in something to get her some association with kids of her own age to help with her development. So we are going to look into that too.
They are both having their hearing checked.
We will see what happens but I am glad to know that my instincts were not off and we need to work with my girls to get them sorted out.

The kids' doctor wanted both Josh and Amanda to get into PT too, but Joe didn't want them to do it. They were late with their gross motor skills, but they eventually caught up. (Josh didn't walk until 17 months, and Amanda was 21 months!!!)
