DD (3.10) has mild CP. She tires quickly and finds going to playgroup without me tiring (although she has recently got a statement, so has had a 1-1 since Feb half term and loves her 1-1!)

I took her trike to playgroup so she could cycle home via Waitrose for lunch. We just made it home before the skies opened. She was also just about on the limit of her stamina. But she made it - about 1 and a half miles!! shock

Good going, kiddo! grin

What have your DC done today that have made you smile - big or small, we welcome all achievements here!

Galena Mon 18-Mar-13 15:05:25

Well done Galena's dd grin

Galena Mon 18-Mar-13 17:47:41

No-one else's DC done ANYTHING worth celebrating?!

UnChartered Mon 18-Mar-13 17:49:00

DD came home from school in the same clothes today - that's about all i muster i'm afraid

PolterGoose Mon 18-Mar-13 18:23:28

Ds hasn't had a meltdown after school...

bizzey Mon 18-Mar-13 18:26:29

DS3 didn't lock himself in his bedroom tonight during his meltdown/tantrum...and it only lasted 45 mins !...result !!!!!

hazeyjane Mon 18-Mar-13 18:29:48

Well done Galena's dd!

Ds has put up with having his eyes bathed open every hour and having eyedrops put in.He also did 3 enormous poos, after not having pooed for 6 days.

<punches air>

Galena Mon 18-Mar-13 18:44:15

See - I knew we could find things!

UnChartered always a bonus to get back the clothes you sent out in the morning...

PolterGoose that's great - a calm evening so far...

bizzey That sounds like it was still hard work - but if it's better than other days, hey it's worth celebrating!

hazey hourly eye-bathing sounds tricky... Well done though for persevering! And great to the 3 poos! We've had major constipation issues here in the past so I understand completely! However, since Jan we have pretty much had daily poos AND today she's had 2 without me telling her to use the potty - she's just taken herself off and done it!

DS1 ran ahead to give the taxi driver "a piece of his mind" . I told him no, but he said he'd do it to save me the bother grin
Now how kind is that - that's worth celebrating too, isn't it? grin grin

Galena Mon 18-Mar-13 18:45:05

grin That has made me chuckle auntevil . Did he do a good job?

PolterGoose Mon 18-Mar-13 18:47:39

auntevil that is brilliant grin

PolterGoose Mon 18-Mar-13 18:55:54

Somewhat dull but ds has just asked me and allowed me to cut his finger and toenails shock

Galena Mon 18-Mar-13 19:05:47

shock Well done PolterGosling!

PolterGoose Mon 18-Mar-13 19:20:54

We have to celebrate the little things Galena grin

NoHaudinMaWheest Mon 18-Mar-13 21:01:53

Polter cutting nails may be dull but asking for it to be done is fantastic.

Galena well done to your dd. 1&1/2 miles is good going.

Hazey hourly eye baths shock. Twice daily drops (for hayfever) was enough of a struggle when Ds was that age.

Ds's trousers split in school today. Major issue for him as apart from the usual embarassment, his pants which his OCD tells him are very germy were exposed. He coped by wrapping his jumper round his waist and changed his trousers with (for him) minimum of fuss when he got home.
(Note to self: he really really needs new trousers)

PolterGoose Mon 18-Mar-13 21:05:54

Poor ds, NoHaudin bit sounds like he coped, which is fab

hazeyjane Mon 18-Mar-13 21:13:54

Aw, bless your ds, NoHaudin, it sounds like he coped with it really well.

The hourly eyebaths aren't a lot of fun, and eye drops 4 x a day on top of that. I think that ds is such a gunky boy, and with the low tone thrown in, he just has real trouble shifting stuff, snot is just pouring out of his nose, his eyes are just covered in green crap and his chest sounds like a wet sponge, poor little sausage. The last time he had an eye infection it took 9 months to shift it, I really hope this one goes a bit quicker.

NoHaudinMaWheest Mon 18-Mar-13 22:11:28

Hope things improve soon Hazey that all sounds horrible for him and you.

TeggieCampbeggBlegg Mon 18-Mar-13 22:18:44

DD2 got a Blue Peter badge in the post.

No your normal bog standard plastic Blue Peter badge.

A Silver one.

grin

auntevil Mon 18-Mar-13 22:33:26

Very descriptive hazeyjane. I love it - "gunky boy"
Nail cutting and trouser splitting are brilliant, but a Blue Peter badge, I mean a BLUE PETER BADGE, in SILVER!! OMG

hazeyjane Mon 18-Mar-13 22:36:57

Don't you have to revive an extinct species or something to get a silver Blue Peter badge!?

hazeyjane Mon 18-Mar-13 22:43:34

Obviously to get a gold blue Peter badge, you have to create a new species.

auntevil Mon 18-Mar-13 22:47:12

LOL hazeyjane grin
