ASQ, we've missed you!

[I'm going back through my draft folder and posting a whole lot of things I've written in the last year but never posted, so expect to see some old news. This one was from November 2010, when Sophie was two.]

No we haven't, really. It's been a whole year since we were last required to fill in an Ages and Stages Questionnaire for Sophie, and you know how much I love the things.

Nonetheless, you also know what I'm going to say about this one- Sophie's scoring either 5/6 or 6/6 in every section, so she's doing just fine.

This year's survey came with a few extra surveys which are fascinating; a couple on behaviour, another on illnesses throughout the year; and another on language skills, asking us to tick every word she could say on a very long list.

Well, gosh. She can say more than she can't. But I'll tell you some of the ones she can't say:

Chewing gum
Lollies
Hot dog
Shut up (shut up?? Really??)

And a variety of others along the same lines. I suppose the suggestion is that my kid could know all these words without actually eating hot dogs and lollies and chewing gum, and in fact after I first scoffed at the survey, I was standing in line at the supermarket the next day and Sophie asked me what to call chewing gum. Typical!
