Hello all, sorry I haven't been on much trying to get the new website up and doing my masters and Ari started daycare and had the inlaws up - phew what a couple of weeks. All relatives have now returned from whence they came and the kids and I are trying to re-find our routine - as you can imagine with DS with ASD this has been quite a challenge but things are looking better each day.

Ari started daycare 3 days a week in preparation for me going back to "real" work as DH refers to it. She has been unsettled for them, crying when they walk away from her (which I think is pretty normall for this age but they keep mentioning it like it's a problem) - maybe I'm too senstive. Mind you DS was 'expelled' from FDC at 11mths becasue the carer couldn't handle him :-( so I am a bit paranoid. but at least she is happy when I leave her there. Karina - I did the same thing took her in for a few days and stayed with her and I think it helped her settle in a lot.

She is such a busy little baby - she has just pulled all the patty papers out of the pantry and decorated the kitchen with them while I was folding clothes so I still have some childprofing to do. She now stands very well on her own, walks when you hold her hand and takes up to 3 steps by herself
