Liam's quite fantastic, actually. He's good-humoured and mellow in our not-so-quiet house. Nana's taken the 7yo, Lachlan, on the train into the museum today, so I've been able to clean the sink and scour the kitchen floor this morning.
My 2.5yo, Cameron, is suspected to have an autistic spectrum disorder - it's mild and subtle, not severe and obvious; so we're watching him carefully and trying to get him into an early intervention program to minimise the developmental delay. I had an awful experience at the hairdresser with him during the week where she pretty much said that he was getting away with a tantrum and said 'the nanny' has children like this and they just need boundaries set. I'd told her more than once what was going on with him. Anyways, I ended up leaving in tears, not going back there again. She didn't see that a stranger in his face with scissors might be making him slightly uncomfortable, particularly when he already has personal space issues.
It's not really a shock because I'd noticed his little oddities before, and as I said, it's mild - he'll grow to be as quirky as the rest of the population and probably have a relatively normal life and relationships (well, that's what I think at this very early stage!). We're going about getting the help and support that we need. We have to get a chromosonal blood test and hearing test done before our next paediatrician appointment in about 7 weeks.
So, hoping to get on the tready & bike sometime today to get some 'me' time, and put together our tax stuff for the accountant.
