Why does she keep stating she made it with no recipe like it’s some massive achievement. They are salads. Pasta salad and salad salad. Two things known to be thrown together with anything in your kitchen. But please, share in Substack instead of saying made a salad tonight with these things and list them.
My 3 year old is set to start Prek 3 in the fall. She's never been to daycare, she's been at home with us since we have flexible WFH schedules. She's socialized, she has activities and play dates. Lately, being three, she's had some more meltdowns at the playdates or you know, over a song not starting at the very beginning like she wants it to.
My main worry is she doesn't pay attention and often seems farther behind in communication than some of her peers. She knows how to count to 30, a thousand songs, memorizes her favorite books and has Finding Nemo and other shows she's watched down (without even watching them a ton). She recites songs and dialogue from them, especially when she can see her reflection.
But she doesn't answer 'what your favorite color' or when anyone asks her how she is (could be shyness but she won't do it with us either). I see other kids younger than her doing this and speaking better than she can. She communicates with us and other adults she knows okay but not a full conversation. I may ask her doctor to get her evaluated with a speech therapist just to be sure but she has 1000 words she knows and speaks in sentences, just not as well as other kids her age.
Is Prek going to help her or make this worse? I'm so anxious she's going to be miserable, though she loves to play and learn, and that I did something wrong somewhere. She was advanced verbally last year and now I hear these other 3-4 year olds talking like adults and I'm like Well, wtf.
There really is a Reddit for everything. I took a calcium test today due to genetic high cholesterol (that score was great) but my scan showed a moderate-large hiatus hernia. I was almost relieved because it explains why I've been having pain and difficulty eating, horrible heartburn and chest tightness when eating. I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist per my GP in August but now seeing this, I'm wondering what my cardiologist will suggest (waiting to hear from here when I found this subReddit)
Anyone have a similar experience? I am already on omeprazole which sort of helps but not with the chest tightness when I eat. I've tried to eat smaller, frequent meals which also helps some. I haven't changed my diet a ton but it is healthy, pretty Mediterranean, lots of lean protein and veggies.
Looking to hear some experiences because part of me is thrilled I know what it is and want to get rid of it ASAP lol
