I saw your comment about squishing your Billy to sleep over on HLW3B, the guest post by Caitlin (she's a friend of mine). I have NT kids but my daughter also responded to pressure. Until she was 3.5yrs, we would swaddle her like an infant, as tightly as possible. You could see her eyes droop instantly. i felt like an idiot too, but in the end, I was proud because I gave her what SHE needed, everyone else be damned. So you're not the only kooky one ;)<br />Cheers,<br />Jodi<br />(Canada)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18041944854829359731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963954635935513841.post-4711844919063521082011-02-11T11:19:33.169-08:002011-02-11T11:19:33.169-08:00Valerie,

Your writing is so great, I felt like I could take a chocolate bunny down from the shelf!<br /><br />I love the how you say Billy is in a constant adrenaline bath, I never thought of it that way (and am not nearly original enough to coin a zinger like that) but I recognize that in Maya too. <br /><br />And aren't teachers like Julie wonderful? They are the most precious of gems, those who lovingly and patiently guide our children and try to get in their heads but also recognize that each is unique. We need more teachers like that!<br /><br />I am addicted to your blog and also to celebrity gossip too (so we have much in common). My fave gossip site is www.laineygossip.com, in my view far and above any other gossip site.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923923651866941447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963954635935513841.post-3421831084733387872011-02-11T08:43:54.529-08:002011-02-11T08:43:54.529-08:00Valerie, you explain everything so vividly it is i...Valerie, you explain everything so vividly it is if I am there!! Your sense of humour is extremely refreshing and I always look forward to your next post!<br /><br />As for the attachment - how WONDERFUL, I love it :D<br /><br />PS: laughed when I saw that you had used the word 'bugger' :)Bright Side of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025195022971411268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963954635935513841.post-43736254378470423132011-02-11T04:20:41.827-08:002011-02-11T04:20:41.827-08:00There's still some pure gold left in the teach...There's still some pure gold left in the teaching game.

I can't help but wonder with reference to the above comment from DQ whether anyone is collecting the to-the-point and pithy comments their children are saying... there's a book in the making there!Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12450223668689277835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963954635935513841.post-77579296450402163082011-02-11T02:31:59.216-08:002011-02-11T02:31:59.216-08:00As always, your writing is perfection.

Only this morning he thanked me for "helping me remember my voice" when he had to answer a question from his dad about yogurt.<br />(I did an exaggerated nodding of my head to prompt him.)<br /><br />Julie sounds wonderful. Preschool sounds like it was several circles of hell, I am so glad Billy has gotten so much healthier.<br /><br />Home is sanctuary - home is where the lego is. :)DQhttp://www.ishouldhavecalledhimcalvin.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
