Despondency

I really don't know what is going to be the best for us a normal créche (sorry if I use this word, but I don't know what is the difference between créche, preschool, kindergarten etc., because here there is an institute for children age 6mos-3 yrs and kindergarten 3-6 yrs). Specialists say that Szabi has to go to a normal community, but if I see it well the head of the normal créche doesn't really want it, but the integrated créche's head really wants Szabi (I know it is all about the money unfortunately...). So we are hanging between this 2 créche.... well, I really don't know...(Note: Integration doesn't work as well here as in the USA!)
But the good news is I found a really good babysitter for Szabi, she worked at the integrated créche but he started a new university that's why she got the push... She is a teacher for nontypical children, she is 28 yrs old, but her husband has a really good job so the babysittering is just a hobby for her beside studying and she really wanted to work with a nontypical child. We agreed that she will carry him to PT and OT, then back to the créche and if Szabi is ill she is at home with him!!! Hurray!!!!!! I don't dare to beleive that I have such a luck!!!
Szabi's strike on food is still on.... tomorrow I want to weight him at the doc, because I think he lost weight... he eats only heavy foods for adults (but he eats only a little portion...), spaghetti bolognese, pizza, bread, cookies, no veggies except pumpkin and courgette and no fruits!!!! I can't stuff him as a goose!!!!!
His favourite nonfood is kuki which is extrudated corn with oil and salt, it has got a funny name with 2 meanings: 1. corny 2. weenie, so it's so funny when I ask in a supermarket where can I find the weenie :DDDDD
Here is Szabi with his favourite weenie :)
And I nearly forgot about Cheerios :))))))
Did you know that Cheerios is more delicious from a potty?
And he is acting like a little soldier :
Bye for now, I hope everyone has a nice week!!!
Ps.: Congratulations to Daven and his mom for the hardworking and the result!!!! :))))))

That is great that you found such an excellent babysitter, I am jealous! Maybe Szabi is tired of Hungarian food and just wants fries and a cheeseburger from McDonalds?(: Hang in there, Kati.
XOXO

He doesn't use that potty, does he??? :)

School is tricky - but the "normal" one may be good for him, you'll just have to keep an eye out to make sure he still gets what he needs. In the "non-typical" school you may have kids with more severe disabilities that Szabi may try to emulate. Sorry if that sounds harsh - but especially if the integrated school is not up to par. Hopefully you will have a good feeling abou whichever works best for Szabi.

Great about the babysitter! What a relief - :)

At least they use the potty for SOMETHING! I haven't even bought one yet. :)

A girl in our parent group told us that Hungary has some of the best methods for physical therapy in the world but that they are much more strict than we are used to over here. I was so happy you shared what you did about Szabi's therapy! I thought I would tell you about that so you could feel even more confident about the care you are getting.

Thanks for the congratulations! Daven is making progress...SLOW, but progress never the less. That is great news about the babysitter. That is a huge task no matter where you are...so hold on to her.

Loved the new pictures of Szabi. He is just so precious!
