Have a new one starting today. He is almost 2 and I wondered during the interview if he had a developmental delay, there is definitely some speech delays. He seems to be adjusting really well for never being in daycare. He seems to connect well with my 14 mos old, not so much the 3 year olds. It has become clear however that everything is done for him at home. When it came to getting dressed he just stood there waiting for me to do it for him and eating was a challenge as well. I just left the food in front of him and some stuff made it in his mouth. I offered to help him (won't be a regular thing just wanted a sense if he "could" feed himself or if he just wasn't eating because it's a new place, different food etc plus it was a tricky food, chilli) but he refused. He sleeps in a big bed at home so I tried a cot, it was a no go so I put him in a PNP and he cried for 15 mins then went to sleep, pretty good. I think mom is going to need a lot of support as he hasn't been napping at home and won't go to bed until 9:30 pm! He is quickly learning the expectations here (played with his food/dumping it, took another kid's food so lunch was over for him).

Maybe it's just because I have girls or maybe because he has been coddled but he just seems really behind in a lot of ways. I guess I'll see as time goes by.

Spoke too soon. As I was typing this he started crying/screaming. Like really screaming! Turns out he wasn't asleep, just had stopped crying. I feel so bad for the 3 y o down there trying to nap. Just layed him down again and he is now doing a high pitched scream. Pretty horrible.
