This morning while checking my emails
Kathy rang to see if I wanted to go to the park with her and take Leo
since he isn't allowed at day care until after his appointment this
morning although to be honest I do not see what a difference a few
hours will make............
Anyway both me and Leo went to the park
with Kathy and Sydney and I Leo had a wonderful time he climbed up to
the top of the very big slide and then was to scared to come down so
Kathy had to climb up and come down with him............which she
said was funny as he kept hitting his face on the side of the slide
on the way down as he would only go down while sitting on Kathy's
lap............
After the park we came home and met his
mum then off to the doctors appointment we go, the doctor we saw was
really nice and he said that he felt that Leo was pretty much a
normal 3yr old but he did refer us over to Kaleidoscope which is an
organisation that links clinical services for children, who live in
the Hunter and New England region. After the appointment we went to
the day care and told them what was said and they said he can return
tomorrow and we will just have to take it day by day.
At the doctors he was really well
behavioured but when we left he wasn't at first he refused to leave
the surgery and Jes was please please Leo come here and the doctor
told her she should not be asking him in that way she has to speak
firmly to him and tell what he has to do and not plead with
him..............no shock there for me but maybe hearing it from
someone other then me may make a difference.
While me and him were walking back to
the car he was fine till we get to the car and then he just took off
on me he ran across the road but did stop and check for cars, he then
ran down the driveway of the police station I am trying to rush after
him and I am calling for him to stop and of course he took no notice
then his mum turned up and we are both looking and calling him but we
couldn't see him and he didn't answer while I continued to look
around the police parking lot his mum ran down the other driveway
next door. We ended up having 3 police officers help look for him and
found him hiding behind a large ute, one of the officers went to get
him out and he tried to climb on top of the ute and he told him that
he can't do that. Then he asked Leo why he ran away and hid from
nanny and mummy and that did he (Leo) understand how scared mummy was
because she couldn't find him...............Leo just said he is a big
boy and can look after himself...........it was cute and if I wasn't
so upset I would have laughed at the way he was talking..............
I started writing this 5 hours ago and
I am only now just finishing it and getting a chance to post it...
I must admit that little Leo looks really cute in those photos. I agree with the Dr that we shouldn't be pleading with them at that age, but it is difficult. Let's hope that he will be okay back at day care. My little grandson is fine until he gets tired, and then he always has a mad five minutes and won't put his shoes on and runs away when we go to put him in the car. (This is at my house, so he can only run around the garden, but it's hard for his mum when she has the little girl, aged 22 months).
ReplyDeletevery cute but my mama would have tanned my hide! lol
ReplyDeleteWe were actually talking about this at work in that schools/daycares over react or take no notice of the children but the problem is that they are bored or the instructions aren't clear in what is expected of them (like telling to tidy up and complaining that they won't do it but what exactly have you asked them to tidy up!). Still with the referral your daughter might get some help in how to deal with Leo.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big girl, but I can't take care of myself.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Leo is sweet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a place to run for him, the best place of all really - the police station :) glad he was found ok.
Thisisme........Yes he is so cute and he loves having his photo taken nearly as much as he loves to take photos of whatever he can........We have also noticed that the more tired Leo is the more likely he is to play up.
ReplyDeleteTim......I smacked his fingers the other day at the day care when he was touching everything he could get his hands on and then wondered if someone would say anything as there are so many people who go on about never ever smacking a child but I do feel it is ok to smack their fingers if they are touching stuff the are not allowed to......
Bubbles.......You know we have not had a phone call from the day car today and the new director isn't their today......really we have only had phone calls about him since this new woman took over and I have wondered if she is over reacting a bit.....
Lola.....I know a lot of big girls who need help taking care of themselves me included.......lol
Whiteangel.....I thought the same thing at least the cops were close and handy to help look for him......
ReplyDeleteYou guys have your hands full. I hope it's just a phase that ends quickly. So glad to be done with raising kids! I got exhausted just reading about running around to find him. Scary stuff.
ReplyDeletewow you do have your hands full and good thing Leo went towards the police station and not else where...hugs
ReplyDeleteHi Barb & Becca.......I was surprised that he stopped and looked both ways before running across the road.......lol
