Very Small Feet

It’s hard when you do the school pick up, kids want to tell stuff to their parents. Well most of them do... Our Egg is just happy to see us and we don’t know what he was going until the school report comes in...  he is doesn’t talk. He says things only when he wants to...  So when he started to come in to kiss his baby bother good night he started to say “Vav you” our hearts were so full... my eyes well up just thinking of it.  It is incredible that he chose to say love you to his brother and now to us when we kiss. We are so lucky to have this wonderful loving boy.  He is always looking very concerned when his baby bro starts to cry. And is very penitent waiting till we need to stop faffing with pram and such...  Obviously it is hard now knowing what’s up with Big all the time. It’s a guessing, educated guess, game all the time. Definitely not a dull moment!  But I am sure glad holidays are over and school is back in full swing (well with Covid restriction...

He is too little, too not talking and finds it hard around other children... or so I thought! It has been just few weeks in big school and he already has a best friend Amelia. We didn't know her before. When she was ill he missed her and when she did return after two days he run up to give her a hug and knocked and him self down.  He also has other friends and interacts brilliantly with them. Other kind find his speech therapy interesting and help him with these.   All ready for elements in daddy’s hat  He loves the after-school club he goes to, I mean I would as well, it's just bunch of kids all ages from school playing together and Egg been always curious about big kids. The gentleman in change of the club says its very interesting to see how big kids take care of the little ones ...

If you are reading me or know me then you might know that Eggy boy isn’t talking yet. Here is a privious post about it. And these are thing we feel and know about this...  But now the ball is finally rolling and we finally got appointments and tests... and positive and yet not so positive people around.  I just want to share this in case some one else is going through that and you tell you that you are not alone! In December we finally saw the paediatrician who listened gave positive feed back and got us to do blood tests... and kindly chased up the speech therapy appointment. Even if the therapist said that we are “top of the waiting list” the coincidence is well ... there is no such thing...  The blood tests were really horrid to do. I do not believe we have a medical issue, but it would be eliminated or not. But at least there will be a definite answer. Do you remember last time you had your blood taken from the vein? Did it hurt? Were you annoyed and...
