Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 Hi Kay...sorry, I'm never in the DC area......... Have fun meeting Sara, I'm jealous! I have a question for everyone..........I'm bothered lately by the way Jillian (4 1/2) and 26 months play, and don't include Tara, they don't do it intentionaly, it just happens cause I think Tara doesn't have the verbal skills that they do, she doesn't stay interacting with them. She just kinda plays in the family rm by herself, with toys or watching the TV..........can anyone relate or comment? Gail........Bobby 7, Jillian 4 1/2, and Tara{Ds} 26 months!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 Hi Gail - I wouldnt worry too much about Tara's playing alone. I have found over Rudy's 14 years that he tends to be very self absorbed and just off in his own little world. He really enjoys playing with " Sister " and other kids but he is just as happy as a clam playing by himself. He can play for hours with his action figures, blocks, or drawing. It used to worry me also that maybe he was being excluded but I came to realize he just really didnt care. He'll sit there having conversations and in his world every one understands him and he seems perfectly content. I do make a point, since he is older, for him to get out and go play basketball with or doing his Special Olypics stuff but otherwise, I dont mess with him. Whew!! Ok I'll stop now.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 ,My daughter Genny is 18 months and sounds so similar with her walking issues and confidence. She now has an infant walker and she really goes great! It gives her confidence and she loves it.We took her to Raley's for her first walk and she got a cookie at the bakery, then scooted on down to the floral department for a tour of the displays. They gave her a balloon which we attached to the little walker and she was off to the coffee shop to see her Gramma. Just amazing. She went everywhere. Total strangers cheered for her.At home, no walkie. Just crawls. Once in a while she will show off with her walker, but she has had a whole lifetime of getting around the house by cruising and crawling. She just does not see the point of the walker at home.Interestingly, my mom was walking her with two hands, like we usually do and Genny wanted to carry mom's heavy key chain. Genny carried it in her right hand and only used her left hand to hold on and walk. When we tried switching sides, the weight of the key chain on the other side caused imbalance and she could not walk. She switched it back herself and kept walking. Pretty cool.-Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
