    He still gets body parts confused.
    I hope he is averages at least.
    I know I can't compare to DS6 but w/o any other kids to compare I hope he is at least average for his age??

    Gosh, I am glad we had our kids in the order we did - I can't imagine trying to compare ds8 - very bright, mg, with dd2 - might be sooper dooper smart... I would have thought, oh of course he's developmentally delayed!! smile

    Oh, no, at least I don't think so. I meant I would have thought - ds when he was 3 does not compare as well with dd now, who is almost 3...she is very very verbal and all over the place with her bossiness.

    Actually! maybe I should use 'cognitively delayed', neither of them are, but to be more precise. Turns out ds is probably 2e, with some social delays and some processing speed issue, but we are still working out the details on that...but I never really thought that seriously about him. These are very mild issues in the grand scheme of things and some of it is just gtness.
