been advised to write everything down

[saladsandwich]

someone has advised me to write down everything ds does/doesnt do down but i'm finding it hard. sometims i feel like i'm exaggerating things or making a mountain out of a mole hill because i have people saying "he's just being a boy" or that his speech "will come" or he will "grow out of it" or i'm told to "stop fretting he's fine"

but then sometimes i feel like i'm in denial, i don't want to see everything wrong with ds, he's only 2yr 5months.

i have noticed a few more things about ds i wish i hadn't today after someone just telling me to watch him so just think i'm abit sad about that he's walking on his tiptoes alot, flaps his right hand, grinds his teeth, i never noticed these things before, i'm going to try and write a list but i don't want it to be doom and gloom, but on a postive note he recognises letters a,b,c,d and e and his speech is up to 60words :)

Hi salad i was advised to do the same for my DD who is 3 end of May . When i started i felt the same , been doing it 3 weeks now and try to put good and bad . I too have had " you have nothing to worry about " and "she will get there " . I too realised i had missed things and can also see even more patterns . I think it's a good thing and can produce evidence of different things that could get forgotten . x
