    its always good to hear from you MM. Is young Murray seeing any specialists yet??

    Cheers for a bit of a break and well done for handling those meltdowns. I didn't think I'd ever be able to handle it somedays. I felt like a fricken champion for getting though the day...now sometimes I am meh about it.

    Oh that's great about daycare!

    Bugger about the OT's and stuff. My dream off running away to the country have taken a back seat, I'd never be able to access any services for DS. I'm lucky to get into the ones we have. Everything gets full really quickly.

    All great news!

    Got nothing on the food though. Have you tried Pentavite? I hide vegies where I can. DS has gotten really really fussy again. Driving me nuts.

    Riley just ate an apple/strawberry puree!! Not much in the scheme of things but huge for us!The OT has made him a star chart for trying new foods, its been an uphill battle but he's up to 4 new things in 3 weeks LOL
    Murray's mum- I hear you with the not many foods, Riley likes white or beige food (or mcnuggets LOL and he can tell if they aren't from McDs)

    DS has gotten really really fussy again. Driving me nuts.
    DD#1 is having the reverse at the moment. She's rather proudly listing all the things she likes now that she used to hate. Chips, jeans and tomato sauce top the list. And we had some really long discussion about something really weird and technical last night WITHOUT ARGUING and I can't remember what it was now ...

    Ah that's right. Interstellar travel, the effect of no gravity on the human body, the speed of light, the speed of sound, lightning and thunder, and of course it always comes back to her favourite topic - the way you are most likely to die if you are hit by lightning. But no arguments!

    Pinch me!
