Developmental ped update

So we had our dev ped referral at Rochester yesterday. Actually, yesterday's appointment was just with the intake social worker. She went through the history, what we were concerned about, what had been done so far, and all that. She agreed that he is indeed behind and is going to set up an appointment with the developmental pediatrician. Except, there's a 6- to 9-month waiting list, so it's not going to be any time soon. There is a nurse practitioner there, but she's leaving in a month, so the social worker is going to see if there's any way she can squeeze us in before then. Otherwise it'll be summertime before we have anything new. She gave us a couple of ideas to help Luke out (like making a picture book of common things in our house and kitchen to see if he can point to what he wants instead of throwing a tantrum because he's *trying* to tell us what he wants but we don't understand him). So I'll get started on that this weekend. I'm kind of excited, it'd be so cool if he understands the book and actually uses it.
