i know I am being unreasonable but i want to moan about dd saying belly instead of tummy

[mshadowsisfab]

but sadly she can't say either.
I want her to pick up swear words.
I want to worry that she will tell people to shut up.
weirdly i can remeber worrying about all these things with ds and I want to worry again.

lol......poor you....fancy wanting to worry!!

you may need to saave up all your worry instead about bratz being her life line

how old is she??

My birth order is the other way - DS1 is ASD and DS2 is 16 months and NT and I'm wondering if it's really true that I will get tired of him talking and asking questions. He shouts juice cat and mummy (in that order) quite a lot so far....

bratz are banned from this house(except for her curtains but they were in a sale) she is 13. and can talk a bit. she yells out a very clear "hurry up" at the wrong moments"
with ds I remeber worrying that he seemed so late talking and yes people warned me I would want it to stop
but I just want to chat to her.

oops...sorry.....have seen this is in special needs and now looking very much like this-> for my flippant response.

sorry...really truly.x

DS has started to pick up on my habit of shouting FFS when the phone goes at inconvenient times , but then again any context appropriate vocab is a good thing .

I know what you mean, until you are in that situation it's so easy to take normal speech for granted.

I know what you mean. I want to have those worries as well.

I have recurrent dreams where DS1 (4.3, ASD) is talking. He says things to me like 'mummy come and look at this' and I love the way his voice sounds.

I have a very insensitive 'friend' who has a NT son of the same age, and she often complains how 'he never shuts up' and 'always comes up with the most annoying questions'. Sometimes I would give anything to be able to tell DS1 to shut up!

Psychomum5 don't worry i didn't even relise you were being "flippant"

thankyou.

your non-worries made me smile tho, I can sympathise about the feeling of wanting!

yes, I also get the twangs at the heartstring about the two year olds who it all comes so easily too.

we were on hols and the people next door kept locking their car only for the alarm to start every 5 minutes. we becasme so exasperated that DH ( who is the mildest and most polite of men ) suddenly shouted " will you shut that damned noise up". immediately DS2 laept to his feet and shout
" yes, shut up ASSHOLE !!!!"

we all sat there speechless. DS1 thinks it is a fav bit in I Robot with Will Smith hence DS2 echo -ing perfectly but we were both and at the same time.

Perfect intonation and emphasis - he even stood up. Yes 'twas a proud moment.

He has also just started saying "whatever " to me and DS1 can't understand why DS2 gets away with it when he would have to spend a week in his room

I am grateful whenever Ds1 does or says anything new, even when it's something that may not seem celebratory. Yesterday he was in the living room with DH and I was coming downstairs. I heard DH say to Ds1: "Hide from mummy. T hide from mummy." I go into the room to be greeted by Ds1 jumping up and shoutign at the top of his voice "DERE IS MUMMY! MUMMY DERE!"
We had to specifically teach him to recognise and say "mummy" and "daddy", including pointing at ourselves for ages and saying "this is mummy", "this is daddy", encouraging him to pass us things and saying "give the toy to mummy" etc, singing songs with "mummy" in them. He first spontaneously said it (as opposed to just repeating back what someone was saying) when he was three and a quarter and so I love moments like his inability to completely fail to grasp the concept of hide and seek when it gets a reaction from him like that .

I remember being particularly pleased a few months ago at "Mummy poo" - the first time DS had ever grassed me up in a public toilet . Have just had a FFS by DS after he dropped a toy horse - and at the same time. Wonder if I can get away with blaming it on nursery LOL.

Ah I know how you feel 2shoes.

Any word would do
