[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 151475, member: 1991"] G'day people. No chance to greet you individually today, I'm feeling very weird and I think it's a reaction to one of those effervescent vitamin preparations, so I'm about to put myself to bed. We bought a baby budgie today to keep Daisy company - Daisy is a blue budgie who has been alone since her partner died last winter, just after we got home from New Zealand. This one looks just like our previous one. Tomorrow we begin the slow process of letting them get to know one another, safely. difficult child 3 is finally getting his speech pathology assessment - she dropped in this afternoon and did about an hour, is doing the rest tomorrow morning. Already she has found some interesting gaps. His vocabulary is good, but he has trouble connecting words and ideas. We were talking about it today when I was telling him about the tests to come - I said that it's probably because he uses a different part of his brain for language to other people, and this means that other bits of language function are also maybe in different places. It's like a computer with pieces of the same files stored in odd nooks and crannies on the hard drive; it functions better after it's been de-fragged. The trouble is, I'm not sure how you de-frag a person's brain. Have a good day, everyone. I'm heading for bed. Marg [/QUOTE]
