Thanks for commenting -
Breathing - Snoring a lot, regardless of whether he has a cold or not, and constant colds/runny nose.
He hasn't been to the GP's that often, but he has had fluid each time in one or both ears - however he was ill when going to the GPs, so not sure if this has any relevance or shows a pattern.
He is lazy in that he wont always "use his words" - ie I know he can say things like banana/juice, often he points and makes a noise. I have stopped doing things without him "trying" to speak first but when he asks for a drink and he would rather go without then speak some days its hard to be consistent.
He does the odd sentance, but things like "where are you (name or object)" when I ask him to look for something/someone followed by eg. "oh, heres mummys car" when we look for the car. He is fully understanding and can follow instructions.
Mobility no problem I can see. He has a better physical ability than some children of the same age.
I half think its because he looks older due to height he is expected to be further along but he definately doesn't speak in proper words as much as other children can.
He is strong willed, but I think that is partly learned behaviour/genetic from my side of the family, and partly PFD syndrome...
He can behave/follow instruction, and throwing a strop is no worse than other children of a similar age, but thankfully it doesn't seem to happen to often. He gets "time out" and made to say sorry when appropriate and appears to learn from "mistakes" as once he has been told no for something such as snatching a toy from his cousin, he wont try to snatch the toy again, but he is strong willed if he has decided he wants to watch a DVD and is made to wait or told no, we get a strop, followed by time out, followed by him following you around with the DVD saying please followed by making the noise like please for a good couple of minutes.
He always babbles when asking, and joins in babbling with the odd word if I am talking to someone else - but the actual clarity of words isn't always great.
Have got the appointment for May, so guess its a case of sitting tight until then - I will report back as I find it annoying when you read about people having similar concerns to your own, but they don't report back what happened in their situation so end up none the wiser!
