Hi, just looking for a bit of advice please!
When I picked DS (3.2) up from nursery the other day, just as we were leaving I asked the nursery nurse if he had been good and she said 'yes... you know... his normal self..... a bit bizarre....' 
.
This was just as we were leaving and it was only as we were walking home that I was mulling it over and started worrying what she meant by 'bizarre'?
We have a parents evening tomorrow so I will of course bring this up with her then (same nursery nurse) and I wonder if it was just an off the cuff comment that I've pondered on too much 
.
Anyway, what I think she means (after many hours of obsessing over it thinking it over and thinking back to previous things she's said when I've picked him up) is that sometimes he seems a bit 'distracted'? It's more noticeable in the afternoons (when he is tired - dropped his nap 1-2 months ago but still is v tired by teatime). But I find myself often having to repeat things to him, or having to work very hard to get his attention. I had figured this was just normal tired toddler behaviour, but as he is my only DC I really have nothing to compare it to. I mean obviously we socialise with other children and I've never noticed anything unusual about my ds, but I have no other experience to compare him to iyswim.
It's not like he is just naughty when tired - he just seems a bit disengaged.
Also when he's tired / being bizarre (?) he sometimes won't answer me properly. Not exactly being defiant or saying no, it's like he's just not processing the question properly.
I think his hearing is OK, although he's had a cold the last couple of weeks and in the car has complained of not being able to hear music that we might have on so I did wonder if there is a bit of an ear blockage but I thought I'd wait for his cold to clear and see if it goes too?
I'm 95% sure I'm overanalysing this but I'd just thought he was being a normal (if slightly annoying) toddler? But what is niggling away (and what I'll ask her tomorrow) is if there is some undesirable behaviour that I should be working harder to correct, or some underlying problem that they've spotted that I should be seeking help for?
I'd be grateful for any thoughts - thanks.
