septembryos baby area (09 babies)

Ahhhh lennox is gorgeous!

Amy- i think the school have approached this all wrong, and i do think its wrong u cannot get any help with your son, is he offered any extra help at school? have they assessed him?

Hey Diz- hows u and Noah? i have pm'ed u, hope u dont mind!

How is everyone and LO's?

I cant believe it Izzy now has two teeth! she got the first one saturday, and the second one 3 days later!!!! she keeps running her tongue over them!!!
 
hi

he sees 1 of learning support/senco 3x a week for handwriting, fine motor skills and something else as these are below his age. apart from this there is no problem and he is a normal 7yr old.

so my question is/: IF he's a normal 7yr old are ALL the kids in his yr hitting others for no reason, threatening to stab a teacher with a pencil, pulling their shoes to bits as they dont understand, getting scared by the yellow poster on the wall? the teacher said no theyy are not......... therefore there is some sort of problem. and the fact i have the info i have given school to do with conditions on letters from hospital, i cant have made it up.


thing is i was invited to a meeting today about autism, all of the people there have either children or grandchildren or are child minders of those with autism. i was explaining about what sort of stuff son does etc and they all asked when he was diagnosed autistic, and were very shocked when isaidhe hasnt been. PLUS there was a lady who came over to me and she has 2 sons at the same school 1 of which has autism AND the school are treating her exactly the same!!!
 
It sounds like he may have autism, and school have been totally unprofessional and not doing their jobs! I think you need to request to see the SENCO and ask her for a CAF form- this is a form the school can send to the local authority to request an assessment, but u r entitled to do it as well as a parent. I helped my friend get her son assessed, and we went to CFCS to get that done here, but i am not sure if that is just a local thing. Or u could try and go to the doctors, and ask him/her if there is anything they can do- u can request to be assessed i think through the docs or they will know where u can go or what u can do to get help. Could the hospital refer u to a educational psychologist?
The SENCO is the person to speak to, she should really be doing her job, and if there are other parents with children with autism who are being treated the same, then she is definitely not doing her job correctly, my friend had that problem here, she moved her son, he got diagnosed very quickly, got the help he needed and is doing extremely well. The problem is if u r enforcing things at home, and they are not backing u at school his behaviour will continue to worsen at school.
I hope u dont think i am overstepping the mark, i was/am a SENCO, mainly working with children when they first come into school, and it is a slightly different ballgame then as they are covered by so many more things. I have worked with children though up to 11.
I think u really need to speak to the SENCO, and if she is useless as to speak to the local senco team. It makes me so cross when schools are not doing their jobs, they are not helping your son and god knows how many other children, effectively they are going against every legislation that exists for schools!!! If u have major problems complain to the local education authority, that'll shake the school up a bit!!!!!
Sorry rant over!!! lol x
 
hi hun,

no i dont think your over stepping the mark, i am grateful for any help/advice i can get with regards to him. he has been under the child unit at hospital since he was 2 and we have had loads of "he's border this" or "hes got signs of that" from the consulltant but he wont comit to anything.

the school is useless, all i can say is i'm glad we're moving as soon as house sells (but susssshhhhhhhh! not many people know!)

so many people have said he is showing signs of autism (not majorbut they are there). i will send you a PM about the stuff he does etc and see what you think. (probably be tomorrow as knackered)

it's blake's christening this sunday. time has gone so quick, it was jan i booked it all. AND it just occurred to me i havent got the godparents gifts! anyone any good at writing poesm etc? found a couple on net but nothing that really jumps out at me.
 
It sounds like the school have been terrible Amy :hugs: Scally has some fab advice there.

Good luck with the cristening on Sunday. Please post some pics for us all to see :flower:
 
hi,

i will post some pics afterwards, prob wont be until monday as we got the pub booked out after church! LOL!
 
Will be great to see the photo's Amy, we haven't even organised Joe's christening yet....
 
Will be good to see the christening pics, we dont think we are going to get Izzy christened, even though both sets of grandparents are nagging!!!

Whats everyone else up to this weekend? I am having my haircut tomorrow i havent had it done for ages! it def needs doing- but in the morning i will be so nervous and close to tears, i hate hairdressers- the small talk, if they do my hair wrong- sounds daft i know!!!
 
You'll be fine Scally!! What are you getting done?

I'm off the Champney's health spa with my sis tomorrow, can't wait!! Apart from that, just chilling at home with Joey :) I'm going to introduce his 3rd meal a day on Sunday and also gonna try and start puree-ing or mashing up our food for him. But we eat about 2 hours later that he does in the evening, so not sure how that's gonna work!!

x
 
I am going to have a few inches off- really want to just get a short bob (havent told OH yet!!!), just something i dont have to think about and to neaten it all up a bit- i am still losing hair so now its long it looks so lank! Izzy has always got my hair in her hands or something! lol

Vicks- that sounds lovely, have a great time! Also good luck with the third meal. We still dont mash or puree alot of our meals, as i feel we eat pretty unhealthily for a baby, and also we try not to give her too much milk/cheese etc. I have baby pasta for her which is great as there is no mashing or pureeing, and i make her a white sauce use her milk and soya spread, with mushrooms or something and thats her lunch. And dinner tends to be some of the chicken or something we had, with potatoes and veg with baby stock cubes. We eat so much later so i tend to save it in a dish and puree it up the next day- so much of it so it could be a few days worth- as we eat so unhealthily other days!!
 
Go for it with the hair cut sweetie!!! I had a side fringe cut in on Tuesday after about 2 years of wondering whether to do it, and I love it :) Was abit annoying at first as it keeps falling in my eyes (moves it away as I type lol!) but it looks fab, I think anyway lol!
 
I don't know if I'd mentioned Tyler having problems with bruising in the past. I took him to the Comprehensive Center for Bleeding Disorders at Children's Hospital in Milwaukee last week. Well because I hadn't heard back from them. I called today to find out about his blood work and the nurse told me that he has a genetic disorder called Factor XII Deficiency. I don't know if the doctor has a treatment planned for him as he is not going to be back till Monday. I'll let you know, but at least we have an answer.

So if I'm the one that gave it to him, then all my kids could be carriers for it. But if it was the sperm donor than hopefully it won't be passed to my grandbabies. I'd hate for my kids to have social services called because of the same issue.

It's going to be a happy, yet, sad day Sunday. It will be the first time all of my siblings and I will be together. So we are going to take a picture of all of us and possibly all of our kids as well. The sad part of the day is the reason why we are getting together in the first place. That is we are going to look for headstones for my mother's grave. I know me and my sister are going to be crying. Especially her as she was the closest to our mom.

Any way I had a great day yesterday. I mowed the backyard. It took 3 shifts to do it, but it got done. I also had the kids out a lot yesterday as it was 82 here. Glad I did because today it's only 57 right now.

Lennox has been sleeping through the night again. Yay! Last night he slept from 10pm until 7:30 this morning. The night before it was from 9:15pm until 5:45 yesterday morning. I think that's why I had so much energy yesterday. I actually got some sleep.

TTYL I have to get my room straightened. I have piles of clothes all over and I also need to do dishes.

Have a great Friday!
 
I wish this double posting would stop!

Anyone like me seeing so many friends getting pregnant and wishing you were too?

I thought I was pregnant last month, but it didn't happen and now 3 of my closer friends have told me in the last week that they are expecting. Not to mention some of the ladies online I chat with who are pg again after having a baby in September.
 
alot of my friends are pregnant an NO i dont wish i was!!!

you can puree and freeze your meals to give to LO - get an ice cube tray and use that, they are about the right size for 1 meal. we transfer them to a sealable tub so we can re-use the tray.

HV told me at his 8month check the other day that he can have normal milk in food but not as a drink and can also have any dairy product in small amounts. he has all meals that we do - from hot mexican, to curry to spag bol to full sunday roast with veg.
 
OMG!!! i cant believe it, of all the times for my bloody knee to give way on me twice so i collapse and get more bruises and can hardly walk and need knee support the day blakes christening - when my dress is above knee and knee support going to show and i only have high heels to go with dress!!! its going to be a nightmare.

my knee hasnt given way in about 18months.````
 
Hi!! Hope everyone's have a great weekend in the sunshine :)

I have 2 weeks left now til I'm back to work part-time, it's gone so fast :( I'm off shopping next week to get some work clothes as none of my pre-pregnancy clothes fit me!!

Amy, I hope the christening went well today x
 
hi,

yes it went well. he slept for most of service woke up just b4 they put water on his head, didnt cry or anything.

we had about 10ppl (including kids) not turn up and we didnt even get told why by some of them! blake got 3 silver money boxes and loads of money. going to get him a silver ID bracelet for when his bigger.

my family caused a scene as usual - blake was sick and therefore NOT allowed anymore food or drink, made a big thing as they didnt know who the godparents were and wouldn let my friends near blake to hold him etc - this was until my sis picked him up and walked off!!! we had enough food left over to feed an army, of which most ended up in bin (sandwiches as started drying and crisps etc).

i got told off 3times - i bought a bunch of roses for the lady that made the sandwiches, the lady who did my shopping yesterday as i couldnt walk cos of knee and my sis as she printed all service sheets and they all told me they didnt expect anything for doing it!

i embarrassed the vicar as i flashed the bruise on my leg in the church - its on the top of my thigh!!! (oops!) my sister dropped her trousers in the pub to show my best mate her tattoo on her thigh and a male mate dropped his trousers to show his scar from surgery! LOL!


all in all a good day. will add some pics in abit.
 
heres pic of me, OH,Blake and the vicar -
