ShaggysBeard Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 £1 a tooth. Was 50p for me. Follows the inflating price of a panini sticker pack. Which is what my eldest uses his tooth fairy money on, as did I. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Clyde Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 My mate ended up giving his son a tenner for his first tooth, purely because he didn't have any change.Obviously leading his son to expect this much every time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Just been at the Sick Kids with my youngest. We noticed two weekends ago that she had a hair wrapped tightly around the middle toe of her left foot that was cutting into it and stopping the blood flow. Took her to A&E and they thought that they had managed to cut it and get it all out. Sent us home telling us to keep an eye on it and bring her back if we had any concerns. Didn't think it was healing as well as it should and took her back to A&E at the weekend there and they made an appointment to come in to their Plastic Surgery Trauma team (no idea). They had a look at it and discovered that the hair was still in there and have managed to dig it out now. Felt like a monster whilst I'm trying to pin my 1 year old to the trolley whilst this poor lassie is going at her toe with an incredibly sharp looking pair of scissors. Hopefully that's it sorted now, but they've said that if it's cut in deeply enough, it might have damaged the tendons meaning she may have trouble fully flexing her toe as she grows up, but that it's not something that will bother her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 My eldest has been getting assessed since age 3 for autism spectrum related disorders. He's super clever, laser focussed and has a lexicon that would embarass even me. They're now leaning towards a diagnosis of Asperger's / ADHD, which feels like the right fit for him as he gets fixated by topics that interest him, can be socially awkward (less so much "awkward", more over excited and intense in social situations) and can become hyper / emotional at a moment's notice as well as the aforementioned intelligence. He also can have sensory processing issues, like getting overloaded by loud noises or getting flustered and emotional if an item of clothing (for example) doesn't "feel" right to him. He's 7 now and his fine motor skills are behind his peers, but his language and numeracy skills are miles ahead, to the point he can be disruptive in class as he gets bored in lessons, plus he struggles to concentrate unless it's a topic he's interested in, then he's so engrossed he struggles to do anything other than that. Still some way to go before a final confirmed diagnosis, but I don't envisage Asperger's holding him back in life as he's very charming and witty as well as smart as a whip, so hopefully the hyper / emotional edges will round off with time and make him that bit happier overall. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 On regards to the sensory/fine motor, has an occupational therapist assessed him for dyspraxia? Often comes in hand with others mentioned but less diagnosed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a look at the NHS info on dyspraxia, I'm not mega concerned as though he can be a bit clumsy and isn't great at things like cutlery and shoelaces, he's perfectly good on roller skates and scooters and with a pen or pencil. I'll definitely keep an eye though and raise it at the next consultation. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of them can do shoelaces and both write badly. Son has verbal dyspraxia too and some auditory processing issues, has ear defenders too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I secretly love it when the eldest gives me attitude. Obviously I have to tell her off but the second she looks away I end up smiling 9/10. Love when she stands up for herself even if she's being disobedient [emoji38] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 1st year completed. Slightly worried that Steve Clarke will regret not having called him up yet. The big positive is that he doesn’t have a Slavic name, so should bypass the Swiss scouting system. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
