Jols do you have her in training pants or just take her nappy off when she wants to go wees?
A friend of mine has a book that teaches you, guaranteed, to potty train in 3 days - you just need 3 solid days at home without interruptions or outings. It worked for her 26 m.o and they recommend starting at around 22 months as the perfect age. am on the waiting list to borrow it lol

i ask her if she needs to do poo's ( she calls both poo's

) or she grabs her crutch and says poos, sometimes we miss it, others we get, some times she says no, its all very random still, probably if i was full on we'd do it sooner. what the name of the book?

Hi girls, had a rough day today. Matilda's.... closer to an Asperger's diagnosis than I care to deal with atm. We had an assessment I thought she would breeze through, but instead EVERY one of her little quirks is indicative of Asperger's.... She's too young for a diagnosis of ASD but everything is indicated by today's assessment

I'm a mess... even though I knew it was on the cards.

I'm so sorry to hear that Christy, I specialised in Asperger's at uni, so if u want to chat let me know...thinking of you

Oh christy are you OK? That's a lot to deal with. It seems early to diagnose. I read a bit about it as I suspected DH had it but I'm no expert.

Pics of the belly are up on my blog ladies!

Went to twins clinic for my regular check up. Babies are doing well. Baby on the left busy kicking away (as usual) and baby on the right asleep face down in the uterus! (as usual) HB is good and strong.

Ella calls her business poos and pee pees. She is keen to tell me what she wants to do but will not actually sit still on the potty. I thought I'd do it after her birthday anyway but at least she can get use to having the potty around.

Is everyone going to the big bed or to a Toddlers bed? Im not sure whether its a waste of time going to toddlers but I know ella wont be able to climb up on a big girls bed.

Ann it is early, which is why they aren't officially saying it yet. Apparently they don't like to diagnose it before they are 6, but for school, if children are obvious ASD they will diagnose right before school so that everyone has access to the right That is why we are at the specialist developmental clinic at the hospital... and why it takes 6 assessments prior to anything. Reports are done along the way. Auditory was fine, paediatrician showed "quirks", physio showed... asperger's. We have 2 more assessments. The physio checklist was scary... she got every tick, all of her quirks were on the check list. For example, I noticed in her shoes, her right toes area always gets worn first and more.... she drags her right foot! I never noticed it before... I never thought anything about it... but there you go. That is Asperger's, one sided proprioceptive deficiencies.
