its true, i have had a zillion people say that, and its so annoying! i mean, last time i checked, hearing loss doesnt kill your fine motor skills or your capacity to learn at a normal rate..i wonder about most people and the things they say..its pretty amazing.

i should but even my own family..my sister, who has a down syndrome child who runs circles around frank, declared that the reason hes so delayed is because he cant hear..and i hear that constantly..its stupid, really.

it was the lady who was driving by. but you know what? i am sooo tired of thinking frankie is delayed because of his hearing loss..it makes me wonder if people think deaf people are learning disabled just from that, or what? i am tired of having to explain that having hearing loss wont make you...

speak of the devil...child welfare showed up last night, i about died..obviously, everything was ok but really? what a waste of resources.

he is a lot of fun! hes a lot of work, but hes such a sweetie too. i just wish i could understand why hes doing the things he is doing. i know one thing, this forum has helped me beyond measure..when i first started posting here, we were at the very start of finding out all these things about...

wow, really?? so you know what i am talking about then!! i was starting to think i was alone! the whole thing is just so baffling..the not eating, not talking, making very odd noises, obsessed with lights and tapping stuff..and now hes taken to hitting himself and pulling his hair even more...

yep, thats it exactly! that and i would rather cut my arm off than lug his chubby butt around all day.

my kids are very successful in their quest to embarrass me as much as possible. haha!

its ok, because my son adrian, when he was younger..totally took the neighbors dog out of its yard, and tried to sell it at the convenience store up the road. with a sign and everything..naturally, the neighbors saw this.

when my son alex ran over himself several years ago, he got a wheelchair until his pelvis healed...and they never came to get it..he used that thing for races down the hill, to carry stuff, etc. that poor thing was finally stolen by some rival neighbor kids. :lol: (he knocked our car out of...

oh no, babywearing is great..im not talking about that. im talking about people who practically force their kids to do it when they can actively protest against it.

hey ill just tell the dr that im being "green" and all.

i could just chunk him in a duffel bag and cut some air holes for him! :laugh2: they give them out free at the bank i think.... :hmm:

oh no, because for one, he would fall right out of one of those, and also...he wouldnt need it. he just need something to hold him up and out of the way and that will lie flat. i am hoping he outgrows this and he will, hes only a year and a half so im pretty optimistic.

his hearing aids and occupational therapy took a month to get approved, and he really does need those things, im not wasting time on getting things he really doesnt need to have.

not only that, its weird to want to force an older child to be carried like that..it reminds me of that lady who breastfed her daughters until they were 8 and 9 years old.. :shock:

i know an absolute shitload. :roll: seriously, i do. what on earth does that have to do with anything? im sorry that i am not a baby wearing fanatic. i have managed to raise 7 kids so far though that are on the right track, and havent impregnated anything or gotten themselves addicted to...

we are trying to get him the special tomato eio stroller..its cute and functional. i just dont think a kid should get medical equipment they dont need..i mean, its almost obnoxious. i would never cart my kid around in a wheelchair, especially to our therapy center, and then just let him bound...

exactly! he just needs a little extra restraint because he enjoys flopping around with abandon, and well, thats not too good when you are rounding a corner.

he just fell asleep after an afternoon of chasing the dog through the living room, and running all over the place with his toys. he totally doesnt need a wheel chair. he needs something to keep him safe and contained when we go places. if he were crippled, of course i would get him what he...
