DT2 (4.4) is starting to drive me demented, she has never ever managed to hold an open cup, every time she knocks it over or drops it, she is clumsy in every other way too, she always has a dozen scabs and bruises from falling over, should I be worried or is it just clumsyness?

My daughter was always covered in scabs and bruises at that age, and she was always spilling her drinks.

It gets better as they get older and their co-ordination improves, honestly it does!

My ds is clumsy. There's book called 'Don't sweat the small stuff,' with a section called, 'expect the cup to spill.' Small children spill drinks, get over it, is the gist of it!

The crazy thing is, when it comes to climbing her co-ordination is as good as a monkeys, and you should see her whizz around on a scooter and catch small balls from a distance.........baffles megrin

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
