Guest guest Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Sorry I haven't posted in so long. At lot has been going on with . He just started Kindergarten in a special ed non-inclusive classroom. Still not sure how I feel about it as I had hoped for inclusion for him. However, he is still pretty much non-verbal and so small for his age and a little unsteady on his feet that I was worried about him being trampled by the bigger kids. We'll see how it goes... Another change is that he is now at the same daycare as his brother and sister allowing me to only make on stop after work instead of going to 2 different daycares. He did have one accident where he pooped on the playground, so I send him to school in underwear then he arrives at the daycare in a pull-up. The problem we are having is that regular toilets are big for him and he is afraid of falling in. I put him on a little one at home. Also, only 2 stops for me in the morning before work now instead of 3! Everyone seems to love him at the school and the daycare. A lot of the kids at the daycare help him, which makes me feel better. No one makes fun of him - luckily he is just too lovable. Another new issue with - I get him dressed in the morning, then he takes his clothes off and wants to pick out something else to wear. I had to put a lock on his closet door because he kept pulling all the clothes off the hangers and I got tired of putting them back in. Now he starts pulling things out of his drawers. He has gotten so particular about what he wears! He also seems to know every time I go into the bathroom and he follows me in. I might have to put a hook lock at the top of this door too. I met a woman who has a son with DS who is 12. It was interesting to find that he has a lot of the same behaviors as , including his " stimming noise " and what I call a " sitting strike " where he gets tired and sits down and won't move, so I have to carry him. Not sure what I'll do when he is too big to carry! On top of all this, his twin brother is having issues at school where he is not listening to directions. He does the same thing at home. It's been quite busy here in the Blackwood house! No issues with big sis except getting her up early and getting her to do her homework.
