Destructiveness & separate rooms

[Guest guest]

You guys have me a little worried with all the talk about destructiveness

and having to put your child with DS in a separate bedroom. We have a 3

bedroom house and have no plans to move. We wanted our boy to have the

smaller room and the girls share. I sure hope they will get along. I worry

about the teenage years and if they will get along. Their lives may (or may

not) be very different - if is out for sports, dating, etc.. I

just don't know.

Don't worry, be happy right!!??

Kay,

I wanted to tell you, is 6 yrs old and not ver destructive. She is

like any typical 6yr old, she has a full size room and has a tv, vcr,night

stand and dresser and lamp and nicknackes in her room. She plays in there

day in and day out. She leaves toys laying around and all but to say really

destroy anything. I do not have that problem. So hopefully the girls can

share a room and the boy can keep his room. Dayton isn't old enough to

destroy I don't think. lol So time will come for him. I will see.

Well like you say don't worry be happy.lol

Well I don't know if what does is because he has ds or if its just

the boy in him. His sister has been pretty destructive too. Right now her

favorite pass time in ripping calendars up. She just finished destroying

one and I am a little upset about it because I was going to keep it since

the twins are in it. I have NEVER been able to get to share a room,

so I think you are already a step ahead of me.....I believe you have yours

in the same room now. Nicala and were separated from the moment they

were born and when finally came home form the hospital at 5 months

(Nicala had already been home 2 months) I tried having them in the same room

BUT made so much noise with his breathing (he was nicked named the

guinea pig in the NICU) that he kept Nicala awake (they both had heart

monitors that would go off too). Actually; I started with the same crib,

then the same room and then different rooms altogether. Once was

born, I tried getting Nicala and in the same room again (we were in a

three bedroom home) but kept getting up and jumping on Nicala when

she was trying to sleep...then Nicala would start crying....I would try

rubbing 's back for long periods of time but he wouldn't even stay

lying down without me having to force him down. SO, slept in bed

with me and the twins had their own bedrooms until we bought the home we

live in now with 4 bedrooms. Even now when I put in bed he NEVER

stays in the spot I put him in. He has to run around his room for a while,

usually poop and then get back into bed himself. He is real independent and

doesn't like any one doing stuff for him. He NEVER asks for anything, if he

wants something; he gets it himself or gives up and goes onto something

else. He (most times) feeds himself, puts himself to bed, brushes his own

teeth, gets in the bathtub himself (mind you, he doesn't take his clothes

off), and turns the TV on himself. If he wants something, he takes

it....even if its right out of his sisters mouths....no asking involved.

Well, I am rambling now ....so I will stop.
