The appointment I fear the most

So Nellie is going to go to a developmental ped in the next few weeks. It's the one appointment I've been dreading. I was hoping she'd just get better. That there was nothing really wrong and she would just catch up. That hasn't happened.
She has begun to talk a little more and I can even understand her at times. She still doesn't ask for things, but we had a huge breakthrough yesterday. We asked her if she wanted to go outside and she said yes! I know it sounds silly to be so excited about something so simple, but she's never said yes in response to a question before. I'm hoping this is a sign of more to come.
Recently we found out what her special skill is...songs. She can hear a song once and know it word for word. Of course now she walks around singing all the time. I have never heard so many Beatles songs from a three year old.
