Thanks for the ideas.View Thread




Luckily we installed a drip watering system so watering has been easy, I wouldn't have been able to keep up otherwise.View Thread

My husband thinks she has ADD or ADHD and expressed to me that he wants to get her tested. I don't. I think it is too soon to really know and I would hate for her to be misdiagnosed. I know there has been a discussion on ADD recently but I wanted to know some opinions. Wait until after her first yr of school ? (coming in August) I really really believe school will mature her a bit and settle her down. To me she is just a ball of energy who has been spoiled with attention her whole life being the only kid. The not listening to me is very frustrating, but don't most kids have a problem listening to their parents? I think my husband is over reacting.View Thread

My grandma will tell me each day if there was a problem and most days, there is not and the report is - Emma was very good today. When she sees my daughter act out in front of us its always "She only acts like this around you !" She is not lax with discpline either and has always kept her on a routine, school work, walk, play time, nap time, reading time etc. Its just that its always been just Emma and my grandma at home alone so I think her social skills are lacking.
My DH has always said he believes HE has ADD. He just self diagnoses himself, he has never been diagnosed. He and my daughter are very similar as they are both talkative and outgoing so I think that is why he thinks this.
He has agreed to give her until the kindergarten year is over. I feel tension between us brewing though, as I know HE has already diagnosed her and I sure hope he doesn't start nit picking at her behavior!View Thread
