THat isn’t the way it’s been described by the nanny. But that’s the thing. I really don’t know. I know how my kid acts around other kids that she plays with. I don’t think my daughter’s missed out on exposure with other kids. Even when she was in the hospital, she spent several hours a day in the playroom with other kids. What she hasn’t had is time with other kids when I’m not around to supervise.
 
On the other hand, in the not too distant future, she will have to learn to deal with unreasonable kids in a school environment where I have very little control. She can’t throw them out. And I don’t think she’s uncomfortable all day. She tells me that she likes the other girl and she wants her to keep coming over. I told her that she won’t want to come over anymore if she keeps hitting her and she was concerned. She does like having someone to play Candyland with.
 
That’s very good and very promising that she enjoys the other little girl’s company.

There’s a lot to learn about social interaction when you’re that age, and they sometimes need a lot of nudging in the right direction.

(We had a great playdate yesterday, but the two 4-year-old girls were both take-charge types, and it was a bit of a challenge to work with that. They like each other a lot, but they both have big ideas about what they’re going to do.)
 
Apparently they had a great day today. The nanny said they were outside from 9AM until 1:30. They even ate their lunch outside at the picnic table. I love fall! I’m glad they’re getting to play outside so much!
 
When still don’t know if or when on the surgery. The doc wanted to wait to see if my girl has any sensation. She’s been doing really well with her potty training. She tells us that poop is coming probably two thirds of the time, although we don’t always get to the potty in time. Still, that’s a very good sign. I predict the doc will want to do the redo on her anaplasty. If he does, he will decide in surgery if she need to have to colostomy. I’m really hoping she doesn’t. As far as I can tell, the biggest risk to her is from the reversal of the colostomy. Healthwise, her current condition is great. Though she doesn’t have full continence, she also doesn’t have major constipation, and we are able to keep her clean through the use of laxatives. I’m fine with waiting further on the surgery, if the doc wants to.
