    I have heard of dyspraxia, although I do not know much about it. Is it due to her age that they are now looking at possible causes of her not sleeping?

    .


    She has only been confirmed at the age of 13 as dyslexic. I and the HOY think there may be a crossover with dyspraxia as a lot of her behavior fits with it but she doesn't have the lack of fine motor skills that most people think of dyspraxia as being.
    The not sleeping is not been actively looked into because there really is nothing they can do about it. She can still be awake at 3am and get up for school at 7, other days she can stay in bed til noon.
    Her brain is just wired slighty differently to a normal persons. She can be really loud and can come over as rude to people that don't know her as she has a tendancy to butt in to conversations, I sometimes feel guilty for getting annoyed with her because shes not doing it deliberately but it can be frustrating!

    Eek I wish I was as skinny as some of you. I did lose 7 stone a couple of years ago and then put it all back on. I lost 2 stone while pregnant and have put alot of that back on.

    Daniel is off for a settling in session with the CM tomorrow, I don't like it as it means me going back to work is ever closer.


    Going back to work sucks! I'm so dreading May. My work were really bad when I was pregnant and I'm sure the Area Manager is out to get me :o I'm already really worried about going back and leaving baby. I'm not really away from him much and I don't think he'll like me being away.

    Oooppss, sorry for being a bit selfish there!
    Are you back PT or FT?

    it will take 60mins and will involve observation of the child in play and interaction and discussions with the carers
    What the hell can they observe a 6 month old for that will take an hour ???

    sounds as though you have had some battles.

    must to challenging at times though, and as you say you get annoyed but feel guilty, although i can understand how you would.

    thanks for sharing that with us x

    Tiz OK be selfish all you want ;)

    Going back 4 days a week (off on a tuesday, random day to have off but all I was allowed) we'll see how it goes but I get very stressed at work because my team is full of numptys, I normally bite my tongue, just not sure I'll be able to anymore. I am hoping to get pregnant with baby Roberts no 2 so if all goes to plan I won't be there for too long.

    MM and Annie it's crap I just wanna stay home forever, if we could live on DHs salary alone I'd jump at the chance and DH was genuinely gutted when we worked out whether I could or not and it just wouldn't happen.

    OMG, I'm 7st 12lb and almost 26! :eek:

    (yeah yeah, and stupidly underweight, I know :o)
    How tall are you elle? I think you've said before
    I'm not gonna share on weight or baby teeth coz you'll all prob hate me :oI'm happy with both at the mo:cool:

    Its weird this came up because today i was trying to remember why you've been told to fatten Rhys up, is it 'just' because he doesn't conform to those pretty lines on the chart?
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
