It's a boy!!!!

Yesterday I was at the doc to make the 19th week US....and yes, Szabi'll have a little brother :)))))))) He showed his willy (am I saying it right?) very well to us :D

This week was really cold and rainy, so I went to a playing-house with Szabi and a 2 other little one (and with her mums, of course). The kids really enjoyed the tons of toys and I really enjoyed that I could sit down and relax... Szabi found the duplo and lego-tables, so I had nothing to do...








After we got home and my brother came to visit us with his family (just as every friday and saturday... :))))) Szabi is in love with their bigger daughter, Dori (12) and they played a really big, there was no problem with bed-time...ha-ha






A few weeks ago Szabi's nanny in the daycare decided to put Szabi on big-kid menu (ages 2,5 and up). Well, I really didn't want to beleive, but Szabi is doing well, he eats almost alone (except soup), and loves it! Fortunately he likes the daycare-menu..... sometimes I think he loves it better than my cooking..... He started to eat pears, and he is crazy about mandarine and orange. I don't know how many mandarins he would able to eat, but I am afraid to give him more than 5 whole fruit :P

I bought a potty with music (it plays the "if you happy ...clap your hands.....sorry, I don't know the english version), maybe he'll have more motivation to get potty-trained.... there is no results yet....

I looked at Avery's blog and I have a comment: I really don't know that testing our children in such an early age is good for us. I mean that while a child is not talking well, she/he is far behind the peers.... That's why a lot of parent got bad news at testing. All of us know that our kids are behind the typical/normal...etc....(everybody use the phrase what want), and I think all of us do the best we can. Sometimes better sometimes worse.
Szabi is not talking yet. If I am standing on my head, he isn't..... He will..... I hope soon..... but if I'd carry him to Dr. Mervis or Dr. Morris, they would find him far behind than other ws kids, I am 100% in this. But he is doing really well, only not talking and not potty trained. He is very non-verbal, he understands really many things and complete tasks (pull down socks, pull up trousers, wash your hands, bring here, give away, point sg. out etc...), but I don't need a comparison to somebody else, because it'd frighten me. Sometimes I am afraid of readig the blogs and the listserve, because I truly don't understand with ws-things and other parents fears or advices..... who knows what Szabi (or Clare, Avery, Erik, Brady and all the other kids) is going to do in a year or in 5 (10-20-50) years? For example I don't know yet what a lot of parent mean under anxiety. How can be a 1 or 2 year old child could be able for anxiety? I hope I only misunderstand the meaning of the word. And meltdowns.... it's ok for a meltdown in age 4 or up, but sooner???? Every healthy kid have tantrums, meltdowns, laughing-crying-laughing-crying periods, but should we label our kids with such ugly words as anxiety, meltdown and so on?
I really don't know what to think. Maybe I am lucky, because I am a lazier mum, try not to worry too much, and try to handle Szabi as a totally normal kid? maybe I am unlucky that I don't worr too much and don't work much more with Szabi? Am I gulity that I just want to play with my son and not to develop him under playing?

Sorry for the long comment, I had to write it down. I hope somebody understand it, and the others don't get sore :)

Love, Kati

YAY!!! congratulations on your baby boy!
Kati, I am not sore about what you wrote.
If you don't know what we mean when we say anxiety, then Szabi probably doesn't have the bad anxiety yet. Maybe he never will.
(i hope)
It is very real, and it really is anxiety.
It's horrible to have to watch your child try and deal with it.
Not every child with WS has it. Hopefully Szabi is one of the lucky ones.
You are right to take one day at a time. Don't feel bad about not worrying. None of us should have to.
Enjoy your boys!
Szabi is getting so big! and very handsome too.
Love, heather

Yeah on your little boy! :)

Kati, I TOTALLY agree with your post and I am really glad you wrote it. We all worry so much, but in reality we don't know what's going to happen. We can only do our best to help our kids right now. I skim the listserv because some of the posts are so off the wall I can't comprehend. ALl our kids have their strengths and weaknesses - we just have to be there to help when they need it. :):):)

Yes, it is a willy. Lol. Yes, testing them this young is stupid, I don't know why we do it! I mean I want to know in some sense, but I don't think it is going to change much. The benefit I do see in it is that it will help me focus on helping her over the next year. I don't always worry this much, it comes and goes. Yay Szabi! He sounds like he is doing super!!
XOXO

I am officially making "willy" the word of the day. It feels fun and naughty to say, and I need that today.

It sounds like Szabi is doing great! So are you!

Nicole said...

WHOO-HOO!! A baby boy, congratulations!! Szabi will be a great big brother. You are totally right not to worry, though it is easier said than done, at least for me. I go through spurts of worry, worry, worry and then "Okay, no big deal". We just all have to do the best we can. It's sounds like you guys are doing great!

Congrats on the baby boy! Having a little brother is going to be terrific for Szabi!
