| Don't worry if he's not too attached to particular things, you might actually consider yourself lucky - sometimes I feel like I spend half my life looking for the one particular HotWheels car that DS is currently attached to. :wink: He often won't go to bed or leave the house until he has the one c... |

| Sounds like you really need to address his sensory issues so his isn't on edge all the time. I really thought the techniques in the Explosive Child would work better with kids that are slightly older. I couldn't see implementing them with my kiddo at 4. I would recommend the Out of Synch Child (aut... |

| wow, Grace, didn't realize you were expecting and any day now too! Man, you have your hands full! Well, I am so glad that he likes being in the cloth underpants.

| No worries about scented stuff or laundry detergents here - we went detergent-free over a year ago for the clothes/laundry for EVERYONE in the family, in an effort to help his eczema. :D We mainly use pure soap for household cleaning too (just bleach for the toilets) but we went majorly natural over... |

It turned out they had an opening for this morning, so that was encouraging. However, the visit was less than encouraging. As soon as I saw the doctor we got... |
