Had to tell you about this morning.............

I went out for a walk with my Daughter Ellie (was 3 in August, has special needs due to having meningitis at 8 months)

She knows some animals but gets a bit mixed up.

I got Ellie out of her buggy and she had a walk, a man came past with his dog. Ellie pointed and shouted "pig"!! I was slightly embarrassed especially when the man asked if she was referring to himself!!!!! I told him that she was getting a bit mixed up with her animals!!!!

We then walked past a couple who must have had the smallest dog in the North West, Ellie pointed and yelled "cow"!!!!!!

I couldn't stop laughing and again had to explain that she got a bit mixed up!!!!

The second dog couldn't have been any smaller!!!! I am just glad the woman didn't think she was referring to her!!!!!!!!

Anyway, it made me laugh so I thought I would share it with you all!!!!!

yes, we are all ok, I do read the postings through out the week, just don't want to bore everyone with my upsets and moans!!!

But this one was a funny one!!!!!

I just hope a larger lady doesn't walk past with her dog next Sunday and Ellie shouts "Elephant"!!!!!!!!!!!

God reminds me of when my Ellie went up to her friends dad when she was at nursery. He had grey hair by the way. So Ellie said to him you are not a dad you are a grandpa

He he...reminded me of the other day. A lady was walking towards us with the tiniest little yorkshire terrier you have ever seen.DD was frantically signing cat,cat,and shouting at the top of her voice,,,mmmmiiieoooww.
The lady just looked at her in a strange way, and I just smiled politely not really knowing what to say or do!

Very sweet!

Thomcat · 01/11/2004 11:57

That is so funny and so sweet.

have you tried sgning with her btw?
Might make the animals more visual.
let me know and we can start another thread about it ifd you like.
Pig for example is make af ist with you hand and twist it in front of your nose, this is for pig's snout.
Cow would be to amke pretend you are running your hands over horns on your head, does that make sense?

Anyway, LOL at your post and DD , bless her!

Hello.. LOL-ing here at all your funnies about you special babes! Reminded me of what my DS did last year.. we were in an ENT waiting room which was packed and it wasn't a specilaist paediatric dept either so no toys or anything. I had to keep DS (age 3 then, who he has cerebral palsy) in his buggy after a while because he just kept crawling off down the corridor.. or trying to climb on peoples laps etc.. so I let him play with my hand bag, knowing (ha!) that he hadn't mastered zips. And then (Bad Mother!) I started reading a discarded mag as he was so engrossed in what he was doing. Imagine my horror when I looked at him a few mins later to discover that he HAD unzipped my bag.. there was Tampax ALL OVER the floor around my feet.. and the feet of the MAN next to me.. and DS was happlily eating one! (Or 'smoking' it like a cigar!! And the seating was arranged so that we were sat oppostite a full row of people.. most of whom where MEN.. pretending not to notice what DS was up to!!!! And I had to sit there for another ten minutes (having hastily shoved all the Tampax away including chewed one to the noisy protests of DS!) .. until his name was called! I wanted to DIE!!!!

Chortle Jessica! That sounded well embarassing - typical that the majority of them were men eh?

That reminds me of when my nephew managed to find his Mum's sanitary towels (with wings) and stuck them all over the mirrored warderobe and dressing table in her room - kept him quiet for ages! My sister proceeded to peel them off gently and save them, bless her. Not as embarassing, but a funny picture. x

I'm cackling away at this thread. My most shameful experience with ds1 is probably posted elsewhere on the SN board but it happened at the GP's surgery. Ds1 was just learning about toileting theory (no actual practice then). There was a bit of a wait and one woman got up from her seat, went out and then came back in. Ds1 was probably about 3.5yrs then and announced loudly "Lady go toilet!" There was a slight pause followed by "Lady do poo!" I was mortified.

jakbrown · 27/11/2004 18:54

LOL
I like this thread...
DS pointed out a woman on the bus and said 'that a man', rather embarrassingly the other day...
He also went through a phase of 'checking' DH and I to see if we had done a 'poo'. We were on a plane with him a few months ago and he went into a whole 'mummy done poo? checking' routine.
The day DD embarrasses me by saying something funny I will be cracking open the champagne!

Jessica72 · 01/12/2004 09:38

I just thought of a new one.. (or is this just us?)

'You know you have a child with special needs when.........

... all the door handles of your units are cupboards are bounded together with hair bobbles, in order to prevent unauthorised entry and subsequent havoc and destruction of possessions!'

Does that sound familar to anyone?!
