Very brave of dd1! Your dd2 sounds like ds2. He can be really, really sweet and loving but then can get aggressive in a flash Ds1 isn't like that at all.

Yes, Jabber. She has a bit of a temper

We're off for another eye test today where I should find out if they intend to patch her or not.

Good luck!

HOpe it went ok Totoro.

Dd's ulcers are slowly getting better I think now. She is just snotty and coughy!

I appear to be potty training dd. Sort of, without much enthusiasm and certainly not staying home lots to do it or taking her out with no nappy but the past couple of days she has been suddenly stopping what she is doing, getting all upset and says "oh da wee da wee da toilet mummy da wee" so I thought she was probably trying to tell me something No idea what will happen but trying ot remember ot take her nappy off when we are at home. Have added pants today (not cruel to put her in ds's cast off THomas pants is it?) after a poo on the carpet incident. I prefer to scrub pants than the carpet.

Good luck with that Indith :)

DDs eye appt fine. Glasses are halving the squint. Vision itself is still ok. Have another appt in 3 months.

I have had 3 fillings today. I am currently in pain as the numbness has worn off.

ergh, fillings. I can't face it, my teeth are a mess and I'm so terrified of dentist I haven' been in 6 years!
glad dd's eyes are improving MNT, we're still patching with ds2 although I find it hard to remember!
yay for pt dd, indith, I ought to get dd going as she's clearly up for it. As I waited until 3 and a half for ds2, I'm not in a hurry for the dts! Although going on the yuk yuk poo from ds3 he's probably ready too.
Had hour long meeting tonight with ds1's teacher (he's Y2 so SATS this year) about his progress. She's wonderful and is going to phone me every night to tell me how he did that day. Suggesting a psychologist tho. Came home and cried on dp.
Panic attacks controlled somewhat by valium, I feel like walking drug factory. Work is great tho, really enjoying it and considering upping my hours if they'll have me when ds2 is at school
Hows the trip to Vegas, jabber?

Hope the potty training goes well, Indith. Ds2 was easier than ds1 for sure.

AQ, we did a round with a play therapist with ds1 when he was 4. I really needed to have a professional opinion about all the things going on with him so it can be a positive step and help you rule out certain things so as to help concentrate on others.

Vegas trip went really well. We got a lot accomplished and everyone had a good time.

P0tty going really well, just one accident so far though not sure if she really knows in advance for wee yet or if it is just luck that I've caught them. I'll see in a couple of days. Hope she gets it though as wearing a nappy she just stops dead, gets upset and tries to strip when she's done a wee!

Glad work is good AQ. Walking drug factory is ok if it is working. Your dcs are still young, especially the dts so give it time.

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As ds does yet another wee and poo in his pants while dd has not had more than 1 accident a day and after less than a week of PT is asking in advance to do a wee.

Just to repeat: ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What irony!

We have bedbugs Dh and I are headed out to find a steam cleaner.

Oh no!

Ewww... I am currently treating us all for threadworm [vom]

We spent all weekend cleaning, steaming and running things through the heavy duty cycle on the dryer. I got so paranoid I finally had dh rip up the carpet in my closet even after vacuuming and steaming it twice. I had these visions of walking in there and tracking bedbug eggs everywhere. ick!!!

HAve to admit worms are pretty high on the ick scale as well. Misery loves company and all that

Mmmm lovely.

I could get used to this not having a child in nappies thing (well ok both still in nappies at night). There are some days when I don't do washing

Ewww, threadworms and bedbugs. And poo. Ewww. I don't want to even dream of days without washing. I think I skipped Xmas day but other than that...
We seem an even small group these days? Indith, texted you about meeting in Oct (although Oct rapidly disappearing) - did you get?
Panic attacks not subsiding here unfortunately and um, mildly suicidal yesterday so my dad drove all night from scotland to see me. Hopefully the week can only get better. Herm.

How are you today, AQ? Are you currently on AD's? I honestly couldn't survive without my Zoloft and Xanax. I am on very low doses of each but it's what my system (and family!) needs.

I hope having your dad with you has helped. I've been there and I know it's really hell going through those feelings.

Sorry to be thick but what is GDD?

Hi sprout :)

I have a Jan 07 ds (who was supposed to be Dec 06) and a Dec 08 dd. I'm afraid we are rather quiet these days, most of us have discovered lives or something.

I have a tummy bug :(

Thankfully the dcs have been angelic so far today.

gdd- global development delay

Has anyone talked to AQ?

I sent her a text yesterday. No reply yet though.

Hope you are doing ok AQ.
