Hi, Jean. Welcome to our group. Thank you for your willingness to

share information. Kim has done a great job, so it will be nice to

have " mum " to add to everything.

Hi Jean

Thank you so much for joining this group. We need some " senior " moms to bug

for advice. I was wondering if Kim had any problems socially when she was

growing up. I know girls who are " small " are not seen as different as boys

who are small, but did she have any problems with teasing or bullying and if

so, as her mom, how did you handle that?

Again, thanks for joining us. I am sure you will have some fantastic

experiences to share with us!!

Hi Debbie,

How are you all?

You were asking about Kim's social situation as she grew up. Well, sometimes

she was " chosen " to be the baby when needed for a game but most of the time Kim

was in charge! At playschool (kindergarten) the assistants said that some days

Kim would expect everyone to fetch and carry for her and on other days if anyone

did something like pick her up Kim would put her hands on her hips and say " I

CAN do it myself! " Kim has always been independent and just thinking about some

of the things she got up to with her brother (4 years older than Kim) makes me

glad I didn't know of them at the time.

Like climbing on roof tops with her own small sun lounger! Or when she set off

down the street wearing a pair of adult size 4 UK roller boots when her feet

were only a baby size 5 UK! We still wonder how she picked up her feet..... and

more, more, more.

I never used feeding teams (I wasn't offered them) and it used to take me 45

minutes to feed Kim only 30mls milk. What a nightmare! For Kim especially as if

I gave her even a few drops more than she wanted - back it all came. Then came

the fun part. Solids. No assistance from anyone and it was a real struggle as

Kim, like lots of others, had no appetite. It took soooo long to get her to eat

anything at all and again if I managed to get her to eat " one spoon more " yes

you've guessed, back it all came. Kim hated any lumps at all and would roll the

food around until all the liquid was gone and ejected the lumps. Later still,

she managed to keep the lumps - in her mouth around her teeth until the next

meal time. (are you still awake?)

I'm such a chatterbox so I'll quit while I think I'm ahead.

Bye for now
