We've been talking about the gap between our children and their peers in other threads. think I'm feeling it at the moment. We had the two weeks in France which was quite tough. Also ds2's language is starting to kick in (not speech but langauge) and that old bittersweet feeling is there. Lovely to see but depressing when I realise that ds1 is on a par lnagauge wise with his 17 month old brother (possibly slightly behind - and STIll we have no speech therapy on the horizon- then I feel guilty becuase I haven't done any speech therapy with him today- or yesterday come to that).
The today ds1 had a practice day at school (mainstream). I had to stay obviously - the other mothers left. It started badly. We had to go in a different entrance from before, then queue (oh god). Ds1's teacher bent down to say hello and he smacked her in the face!!!!!! He's not normally like that either- he was very stressed. Then it was just the gap- right there - and I just thought "oh god how is this going to work?" If it can work then this school will manage it- but I really have doubts.
I have a lovely glass of red wine. Positive thoughts needed now. Help me out please!
