Noah went through saying 'you're not my friend' a few months back - awful. he seems to be over it now and is a real goody 2 shoes sayong things like 'that hurts my feelings' or 'thats not how we play' when someone is nasty (even to others). i am actually glad he is learning these things - he seems to be good at walking away when someone is mean or not engaging in the mean-ness (big tick to the kinder teachers!). that said i recently heard that a few of them at kinder have a game where they 'run away' from one of the other boys all the time... nasty (poor little guy, and it is one of my friends sons who i have tried so hard to get Noah to be friends with!). so we are dealing w that at the moment. its so amazing seeing how they are with their 'independent' friends - like when we have kinder ppl over... we were at a families house on sat eve and he and the other boy were amazing together... he is building some gorgeous friendships! he is at school holiday programme today - much excitement over the lunch box!
G - wow J is such a ROCKTSTAR!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont think i could stay up that late!
Cally - hope you got a better nights sleep last night
We had j's party yesterday - was really succesful and loads of fun! we eneded uyp with about 28 or so kiddies and about the same adults... the boys had a blast (and then Noah went on to another party!!) - we were all knackered last night! then the boys were up all night with coughs and i thi9nk J was overstimulated! it was funny seeing him at the party, think he was a bit freaked out by everyone he knew being in one place!!
Had a bit of a mixed weekend though - one of my best friends lost her bub on saturday (at 34 weeks). i have been crying mopst of the weekend, its just awful. that is 2 people i know with this in the last 6 months (aside of course from the ppl on BB too). Its all so close to home and i am just devestated, and this being a v close friend makes it even harder. then another friend came over yest (who we havent seen for a while) and said his son has been diagnosed on the autism spectrum. its a weird variation where he developed really 'normally' - even advanced and then totally regressed. i havent seen him for about 6 months (the boy not the parents) and it was abig shock. he wasnt speaking, staring blankly at lights etc. i feel like a lucky lucky person (and i even felty lucky as i went from N to J and back again ALL NIGHT LONG).
