Curran had another blowout pullup at daycare today so they typically try to clean him up in the bathroom, but this required um, more cleaning. :shock: So, they took him downstairs to the wee toddler area and lifted him up onto the table to change his pullup and he FREAKED! They could not believe how much he freaked. They were still reeling from it when I went to pick him up.

Uh, I guess I should have told them about these sensory issues. :oops: I assumed that they would change him as we do, pull the pullup off and wipe (or shower.. ick), so I did not tell them he would freak on a table. He has been like this since he was a baby, never liking to be changed anywhere other than on the floor. Lifting him up and putting him on a changetable meant hyperventilation for him.

While we were on the topic, I told them he does not ride on shoulders like every other kid in the world, do not flip him upside down, and do not challenge his equilibrium as he will FREAK. I think they believe me now.

OMGosh, Leigh! Poor Curran! Don't sensory issues on top of everything else just suck? :? I hope they won't try anything like that again.

Don't they, though! I called daycare today to see how he is doing and they told me much better. I apologized again for not mentioning the height and changetable issue and she said no problem... they have a support system there. :lol: It was pretty bad, I guess. :shock: They were thinking that he was being ripped apart limb by limb and they were going to have to bill me for window replacement from the screaming. She said they do not pick up the kids and spin them around anyway, so we should be good now. I was wracking my brain trying to think of anything else I had missed to tell them as it really sets him back. Thankfully they are really very good and like him despite all the issues that crop up.

I never really made a big deal out of the sensory issues because he has enough with the poop and reflux, so I do not want them to think I was adding things, you know? Sometimes it is just so overwhelming and I wonder what on earth they think of it all. Now they know for sure although I do remember filling out the information form for height, noises, etc. when he first started there.

Poor Curran! I'm glad the workers at the daycare are supportive and understanding of this. Wish I could say that about the teachers and principal at his school! :(

I'm so glad that Curran has such a wonderful daycare. They seem responsive to everything you ask...unlike that d*mn substitute teacher...

Hoo-boy!:shock: Bet that was a day they'll remember.

Hunter was like that. No sensory issues that I know of... but the kid was NOT ok with being up high to be changed. I tried a picnic table... no go. I tried those baby changers in the restrooms... baaaaad. Even my bed sometimes was not a good choice. It was the floor alone. Some kids just don't like that.

(Go figure... he was my climber, too!)
