Owen had his second day of PT today (not counting the eval). The PT talked to me a bit afterwards and kind of surprised me. She said that his left side is noticably weaker than his right side. Honestly- I never noticed. 
He can't kick a ball with his left leg. He can't throw a ball with his left arm. (He can do both, to a degree, with his right side). He can't stand on his left foot without holding onto something/someone (he can for a few seconds with his right leg, though that's still delayed). She said he was having a hard time holding himself up on his hands/knees (think baby crawling position). Then she asked if he was a big crawler as a baby. And I felt like I'd been hit over the head, finally. No, he was not. He had, what we called, an army crawl. He drug his left side while using his right leg/arm to propel himself across the floor. Even at that, he didn't do it much. He was much more into rolling and then walking than he was crawling.
And I never even thought twice about it.
Duh.
Hindsight is 20/20, eh? Should have known 3 1/2 years ago that something was up
Good job, mom.

Lots of kids army crawl straight to walking and don't have any major issues. It's good you're getting it checked out now.
