Julia's Preschool Progress Report

Every six months we get a progress report for Julia noting her progress on motor skills, cognitive skills, language, self-help skills, and social/emotional development. She can "score" an always, sometimes or never. I thought some of the tests were cute and I don't think she'd mind if I shared some of her test results with her dearest fans.
