Yeddi, I had DD organise my spices... put them into jars and label them with me... I found the ones she loved and we put them in old baby food jars with labels on them on her level so she could smell them when she needed her fix at home, ones like star anis and clove and cumin were her favourite for a while... I've also seen in the chemist a diy perfume kit for young girls? I also burned incense in the house and bought oil burners... I took DD to choose the oils so she could tell me which one to burn. I think sometimes the sweet smell doesn't meet that need... I would often make heaps of currys or very smelly food (fish... ) during DD1's time. I used to feed her fish cakes for lunch etc etc... always something with a strong smell. HTH!

*warning mentioning Lu....*

FJ- Lulu used to flap... we used to joke about it and she would text me when she flapped and say "why did it take me so long to see this???"

loulabelle - DD1 has gone through periods of loosing her ability to speak. It is always due to anxiety levels, and sometimes its horrible because it increases her anxiety to not be able to speak and then its meltdown city. When we were doing speach therapy it helped, but even now, after we finished speech (its 4am and I can't work out how to spell speech lmao) she goes through phases of it. Currently, she tries to spell it out in air.... I've just got an app on iTunes to help her on my iPhone. She can write the words out but not say them. She now laughs when it happens, but its soooo frustrating for both of us after a while.
