MSE Parents Club Part 9

No, Monday I will phone ALU school and local school will phone in the afternoon (EP is going out in the morning and will take Christopher file) and arrange a day to go visit. Dh and I had a BIG talk about it, he's fining it hard to have to suddenly 'deal' with Christopher being different and has been worrying about things like parties with all disabled kids and stuff, but is coming round to the idea. He's been sheltered from it all for 4 years cos I've done everything like this so far. But he is getting there.

MFD, whippy ice cream - listeria and just cos it's gross? :cool: It's on par with cream from a can *vomit* Oh thank god you agree about chocolate fountains! My MIL said I was 'particular' when I refused a strawberry that had been dunked in one after seeing somone else stick a marshmallow in, bite it and stick it back in fingers and all! *double vomit* yeah, and not even go into the whole 'melted chocolate pouring through the air' thing!

LOL at your MIL saying you were 'particular'!! My MIL (who I get on with really well, Krystal will attest to this if she ever comes back!!) was probably saying something similar (or worse) about me as she walked away with her whippy ice cream last night!!

But as I say, I am victorian mum!! I am just lucky that hubby and PW are the same as me! DSS sat away from us last night but he knew that he had to have a starter and a main before he went near the pudding and he knew to ask before he went for a second pudding :rolleyes: I am very lucky that he is a good boy.


Do you have a feeling about schools?

MFD - just the normal ones. to be honest, i didn't know there were LSLS ones as i hate them and just pick up the normal ones for our niece. i think she only had about 3 spoons of them.

she has come on well with her sippy cup. maybe a bit late, but she really prefers a normal cup, but wanted to get her to take to the sippy cup as it's easy to take out.

she has the vtech walk and a wooden block one from ELC. gosh, she is tearing around with them now. although, she does like to stand in front of them to go back to where she came from

Okay, stupid question.. I get that mint and lavender are natural etc so you can have "extracts of.." but how do you get extracts of marshmallow? Aren't marshmallows just manufactured sweets?

:rotfl: (sorry)
Althaea is a genus of 6-12 species of perennial herbs, including the marshmallow plant whence the fluffy sweet confection got its name, native to Europe and western Asia. They are found on the banks of rivers and in salt marshes, preferring moist, sandy soils. The stems grow to 1-2 m tall, and flower in mid summer. The leaves are palmately lobed with 3-7 lobes. Althaea species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Bucculatrix quadrigemina.

I think its harder for men to come to terms with though. Not in a bad way, but mums tend do deal with ''issues'' better than dads. I guess he always just assumes everything would be OK in the end ..

Chris keeps telling me there is nothing wrong with Dylan, he is just a bit slower developing, but I am not so convinced ... he is definately still in the denial stage ..

MM, will send the other two then Faires say Dylan is a sweetie pie and has earned them for all his hard work.

I agree about denial stage, we see it and deal with it every day, plus women can look toward the future easier than men.

Speaking of, I've still got that DLA form to do *sigh*

MFD, I think I am veering more toward ALN (I keep muddling up me letters, but you know what I mean) school rather than local, at least for 1-2 years. My thinking is that if he gets a place (not as easy as getting a place at regular mainstream) and its not right for him, we can move him up here. Still, we will have a look at both and wait for teh meeting and speak to everyone about it and then decide.
