So we are now not using the cream the Dr. gave us, we switched back to Eumocream and her eczema went from really red and hot back to a bit red in a few hours.
She is teething and has got one of the first molars on the left side. So that brings us to 7 teeth.

Doctors with Lani
Took Lani to the doctors on Thursday. We got a referral for her eyes...just need to make an appointment. And we got cream for her eczema patches, we have to put it on twice a day atleast, except we have done it for one day and the patches are redder than before.
Also we got a letter to take Kayne for his Hib booster - Yikes! Not relishing this idea....

Walking and Parent-teacher meeting.
Lani is walking really well now, she carries things with her and is generally growing at a rate that shocks me. She now gets her shoes from the front door as she understands that means she can go outside - but has learnt the art of tantrums when we say we aren't going out. She can say about 23 words now - i'm not sure if other people would understand them but they are words!
I've been trying to remember Kayne at this age but i can't. That makes me sad; the thought that when they grow you lose their former selves but i suppose new people grow in thier place and with them grow new challenges and delights.
It's half term, Kayne is alot easier to deal with this week, not so difficult, or so easily 'set-off'. It's horrible to see him when he gets upset. It's not just crying...he looks like he is falling apart at that moment - like someone has taken the foor from underneath him. His face shows sheer disbelief. His fingers go into his mouth -which is his sign of anxiousness- and he emits a awful noise. He just stands stock still and freezes.
We had parents evening the other day. Mrs M didn't say anything really that good about him, which was annoying... maybe she figured that if she said he was doing well in something i'd want to know what they were going to do next?
.....Anyway She said:
She was worried about his -fine motor control- mainly because he refuses to colour in,
That he will not do some of his teacher led activities.... This confuses me..
I always thought of Kayne as someone who conforms, he will 99% of the time obey what we tell him and don't have many problems. I do notice he manages to talk around other people - My parents, Mark's parents other people we have contact with. He is so able linguistly that it's easy to be won over by his reasons and explianations if you aren't one step ahead all the time. It's so easy to switch off to the endless talking and then say yes to something you haven't been paying attention too.

Nearly there
Well Lani is almost completey walking...she will walk between furniture and stands up and walk to things now. She is also a complete pain and is getting into everything!! She is so different to Kayne it's unreal. She weighs 24lbs now; Kayne is about 28lb!!
Kayne has been awful after nursery for the last month or so. Absolutely awful about eating, whingy moaning, won't do anything for himself, will not/ can not chose something to play by himself - it has to all be directed by me, would not listen.
He hasn't been the past 3 days and he has been fantastic - i do not know what is going on. I thought he may be bored but they seem to be dealing with him approapriately, so mum suggested that maybe he was 'overstimulated'. Which made me think about the 'over-excitabilities' (OE) i had read about. Being a member of NAGC meant i could look at the factsheets for the OE's and i found that he fits in with the Knowledge OE (and possibly others).
There are books on gifted children and what they are like but not how to deal with them. It's like having a map and not being able to read it...It's so hard to get any help... And you can't shout 'I think my child is gifted, what do i do?' well, not without 10 people laughing, or jeering, or putting you down for pushing them too much. i didn't ask for him to be this way, actually sometimes i wish he was 'normal' so the development trackers on the internet actually fitted him, and the 'age-appropriate' toys actually held his interest.
