well yeah, and i dont want him to expect me to carry him all the time..i have seen people carrying school kids in a pack and that is a bit much to me. maybe if i had 1 kid it would be different but im always surrounded by them it seems!

oh no. frankie can walk but he cant walk very far, and he is unable to follow directions or have any idea of where he wants to go..its definitely better for him to be in a stroller. that and he cant drink his bottle sitting up and has to be flat.

its what i am hoping! he only got up once last night and it was heaven..except i have been "programmed" to wake up all night long, so i would wake up anyways..but that was ok as i could just go back to sleep. and as for easier said than done, its more like having the desire to lug around a...

well, maybe your dad enjoyed hauling a kid around on his back. i would not. :hmm:

nope, to raise the head and foot..the top rail you just unclasp and fold down..its really nice and convenient.

aww that is sad! no, frankie LOVES attention from anyone, and lots of hugs. his bed is pretty large, its a twin size, but with the frame and all..i love the wireless remote it came with, that is really nice!!!

nope, hes never obsessed over anything and he makes really good eye contact with us, luckily!

:D

he does it whenever i go to get him out of bed..or whenever. it drives me crazy because you never know when hes going to do it. he can do it all he wants in this bed though, i am so glad that he has one now!

oh i could...but i think even if i were, lugging around a heavy kid wouldnt work for me. even more so if he were 11 :D :D

oh no..frank is 30 pounds now, and there is no way i could haul him around..im too fat and out of shape!

frank loves massage..after his bath i get out his baby magic stuff and give him a good rubdown..he is such a cuddle bug anyways, he just loves it.

of course, and i already do that..but..it was the cheapy free plastic newborn baby hair brush that they give away at the hospital..and they wanted 5 bucks for it! :D im noticing that if you slap the word therapy before any product, you can expect an automatic markup. i saw some "therapy blocks"...

well, all of my kids underwent a really big learning stage as toddlers, and i think frankie will too. he IS learning, but its very slow. today for instance, he "waved" at me. he wasnt trying to wave or anything but he made his hand wave, if that makes sense. hes learning to do different things...

if he wasnt able to walk, it wouldnt be an issue, and i can totally understand. not even the neurologist knew what to think of the flinging himself backwards thing, he got to see him in action. he actually headbutted his therapist with the back of his head doing that the other day..i about died...

because when seated, he leans all the way to the right, and he also has a nasty habit of flinging himself backwards and forwards, with no thought to his own safety..so unnerving. the one i am trying to get looks like a stroller..the one his insurance might pay for looks like a wheelchair, which...

isnt that cat stevens??? come on, everyone likes him, right?

the bed is awesome! the owner of sleepsafe bed donated it to him! we have a program that helps pay for stuff like that..but the waiting list is 9-15 years! worse comes to worse, i will juggle some bills, its only 450, thank god! our insurance is dragging its feet big time on doing anything it seems!

i dont think any of them have any more ideas than i do. in fact, his regular dr even said so. there arent any teaching hospitals other than the one he got his feeding tube from, and they dont specialize in anything. i just dont know.. but..he got his special bed tonight!!! it is huge, because...

exactly why i am being hesitant..but no, he said autism, now his developmental dr said the ppd-nos AND classic autism but again, shes selling autism books on the side. i just dont know..on one hand, he does have a lot of signs, but on the other hand, he doesnt. hes not really in his own world...
