You're right, whew, what a xmas present for her. Glad she's taking it well

& hopefully her periods aren't going to be too difficult. I really feel for

women who get such bad periods with the severe cramping, headaches etc & I

hope none of our girls fall in that catagory.

You really lucked out. I'd love for Peri not to start her period until she's

14. I am dreading the day already, kind of feeling that she'll be an early

starter because she's tall (both my husband and I are tall), and even at 6,

she's got the start of a shapely figure. Oh well, I'll deal with it when it

gets here.

Hope Hannah is still doing well with it.

what a christmas present for hannah

I think its been coming for a couple of days, but this morning she got

her period. she is 14, so i guess i can be glad it waited this long and

not some crazy age like 10. We had talked to her about it, and at

school, her aid has helped talking and showing her what pads look like

etc.........she took it all remarkably well. I showed her how to do

everything, we went shopping. she later said she wanted to

change...........so, so far, so good. I now need to tell her that

sometimes she may get a tummy ache, and sometimes, she may need to go to

the bathroom, even if she doesn't feel like going to

check............school will be a big thing. I bought her a little bag,

and i said this is where we will keep some spares, and when she goes to

the toilet, at those times, she can take it with

her....phew..............i have been dreading this day for so

long.......but.....lets just see how we go. []

[Guest guest]

she is doing ok....just doesnt understand that its a private thing, i ask her at

times has she checked herself, and she would quite happily check right there and

then infront of everyone if i let her..........her poor brother will have no

worries knowing about the female body i am afraid...lol....i am sure he will be

asking questions soon.

School will be the test...............as long as they don't get too heavy will

be the thing. she has this habit of not bringing out her dirty clothes and

underwear too.........i found i don't know how many under her bed yesterday...i

did the big clean in there took nearly 2 hours, i had let it go. All the

pictures she draws, her kiddy books she reads were everywhere, so i attempted to

tidy, i threw so many papers out, the garbage is full...she got a little upset,

but not as bad as usual.........i usually wait till she is at school to do a big

clean, but this time i had lost my cool......i will go and check this

morning...i bet things are over the floor already, its like she loves

mess...........does anyone else have this with their daughters??

Dear Cheryl,

Yup, I believe the therapists call it executive function deficit!  It really is

a pain, especially when my 10 year old dd can't find something she desperately

wants and it is buried in the mess and she has a meltdown over it!

YES! Allie wants everything in her floor. I've tried to get lots of

bookcases so she can still see it all, but she still wants it in the

floor. That's one of my goals for 2009 is to work more on her

functional skills, such as cleaning her room, putting toys away,

hanging clothes, etc.

A dear friend called last night & told me about her husband taking

their son with autism to a Lowe's. Son disappeared for a second & dad

found him sitting on a display toilet pooping in it right in front of

everyone. Lol. The second I heard Lowe's & bathroom I knew what was

gonna be said next!

See thats just it...........they are so literal, is frightening. today, i had my

son, his friend, and hannah, other daughter was working at mcdonalds.......i

wanted to put something in the car and it was stinking hot, so i told them all

to go wait in the mall, go sit on a bench.........hannah saw this neat chair

that belonged to a furniture shop, she wanted to sit there, i saw what was about

to happen, i ran into the building and said..........NO, not there, over on the

bench, she looked at me and growled.....but knew she should do what i told her.

She gets very loud lately when she disagrees with me.............i tell her to

be quiet, and that makes her worse....oh well, people can look, i really don't

care.
