Guest guest Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 Great to see you back Sue! Sounds like your family is growing up so fast! Hanna is doing great. She's 27 months now, and we're potty training. She's doing awesome. Stay in touch! ) Kendra Nice to be back Beck, Kendra, Debbie, Marci and all:Hi everyone!!It is nice to be back and reading about our plagio babies. We are all doing great here, busy, just like everyone else in this group. I have several "causes/passions" like this one that I like to stay involved in (twins club, a preemies/NICU support group, my church, PTO, our Young Republician's Club) and it gets overwhelming. I have found that I need to take a break from one or two things so that I stay fresh and find the time to actually do the things I committ to!!The kids are great... is 6, in kindergarden and just lost her first tooth. Kayle is 3 1/2, FINALLY potty trained and loving preschool two mornings a week. Jacskon and are 2 1/2, growing perfectly (they were 29 week preemies) and have actually tested as ready for preschool in the fall. I am not sure if they are self disciplined enough to listen for 2 1/2 hours, but their Early Intervention team seems to think so. We'll see. We still do speach therapy through EI - mostly trying to clear up the twin babble. The EI staff has been so great to us.Again, the moms and dads here should be proud of the sound suggetions and advice given to new parents. So many resources are not known, and we all clearly remember how confusing and emotionally tring it was at the beginning of our journey with plagio/brachio/cranio.I may not post as often as I want to because the advice is so clearly and QUICKLY given by others. It really is awesome. It is so nice to hear of everyone's successes. Even the vents are great to read because we realize we are not alone in the battle for our children!!I will never regreat seaking out the best treatment possible for ...and being strong enough to get through all of it, from decision making, to casting, to actually putting the thing on his head, to smiling through the stares, to the thrill of graduation. We moms are a tough group, and having this group to lean on and learn from makes it all so much easier.I have found a locaiton that does the Starband here in Cleveland, so now we actually have three options for treatment: a locally made helmet from the Cleveland Clinic, the DOC band from CT and the Starband from Orthhodic ____ (I forget). I called the Starband place and they have done four babies in the last year. They sound ok, but a bit unexperienced yet.Love ya all, sorry so long (one of my greatest flaws!)Have a great Valentines Day!!!Sue LuckClevelandmom to , Kayle, (DOC band grad) and For more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 Kendra: I wish you all the best with potty training. Each child is so different. was fairly easy to train and Kayle was a nightmare. We spent over a year and I think I tried every sticker chart/encouragement session/game/just wait until she is ready (no kid ever goes to kindergarten in diapers, you know - I am so sick of hearing that one!!) option known to man!!! That child is just plain self directed. How are things progressing for Hanna? On another topic, sorry for the ignorance about Canada, but will Hanna go to preschool at age three? Just wondering. Locally, preschools require the kids to be pottytrained, and most 3 year olds start preschool (usually 2-3 days a week, a few hours a day). Just wondering how education starts in Canada.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 Sue: I wish you all the best with potty training. Each child is so different Lucky for me, Hanna has been a breeze (knocking on wood!!). She has been dry for a week now, and we only started a week + 2 days ago! She stays dry thru naps, and has made it thru a few nights dry! I'm very proud of her! ) but will Hanna go to preschool at age three? Yes! I think she's ready to go. School starts in Sept, but she wont start until Nov, because her birthday is at the end of Oct. Oh well, as long as she gets to go. Don't worry about not knowing how it works here. I wasn't sure myself because it seems to vary so much from city to city, or pre-school to pre-school!! We will also have a new edition next August, so Hanna going to school will give the new one and I a little bit of one on one together.
