Marleigh update

Guess who rocked Kindergarten Roundup?  

This girl!

About a month ago we had Kindergarten Roundup.  I had no idea what to expect, but I was both nervous and excited all at the same time.  Daddy very graciously agreed to go with us.  The moment we got in the door, they whisked Marleigh away from us for her evaluations.  Marleigh took it in stride.  She just turned and waved over her should as they walked off.  I can honestly say it was probably harder on me than her!  We sat down to fill out paperwork, and I realized Marc was the only Dad there, so I let him off the hook and he got to leave.  He is such a good Daddy.  

What seemed like forever later, they brought Marleigh back into the common area.  She sat down to play with 2 of her friends, and they took me back to go over her screening.  Marleigh did extremely well in all areas but the motor/coordination.  She was only in the 40 percentile, but when I explained she was born 14 weeks early at only 2 pounds, they were very understanding and impressed with how well she has done.  

It is insane to think that Marleigh is about to begin school in the fall. She is more than ready.  I told her that Kindergarten will last all day, and she jumped up and down saying, "Yippee!  I love school!"

A couple of weeks later, we returned to Wichita for another eye check up.  Marleigh has continued to progress very nicely.  We had only been patching her good eye for 2 hours a day 3 times a week.  Her vision had maintained at that level, so I am thrilled to report, that we no longer have to patch her good eye!  We will go back in May to make sure that she can maintain it on her own, but for now, we are just so happy!
