The one disadvantage to D having her weekly flute lesson on a Saturday is that her weekend is shorter and, when her anxieties start about the return to school on a Monday, it gets even shorter. Poor D, when she gets anxious over school, there’s nothing I can sure to re-assure her, skipping up and […]
Blimey, where did the year go? It’s absolutely flown by and there’s been much to learn from as we head into 2019. I’ve been decidedly quieter on all things social-media this year – more of that later – but, in a way, that’s a positive, because I can look back now and share. This year […]
I know I haven’t blogged much about school life for D and T recently but something said at D’s parents evening at her SN school last week has stuck with me. Our girl is doing okay, more than okay at the moment, she’s started a GCSE course (we are so proud) in a subject which […]
If you’ve been a regular reader of my blogs, you’ll be aware that we look forward to the annual show that Circus Starr brings to town. Circus Starr are a not-for-profit organisation, relying on local donations from the towns that they visit so that they can put on a fantastically, inclusive show for disabled and disadvantaged children […]
It’s been a day of smiles today. Smiles for D as she headed back to school into a class with her teachers from last year and knowing who her classmates will be – which is so important when it comes to preparing her for the new school year. Smiles as she and T headed […]
It’s been a bit of a busy week for D, two hospital trips for me have impacted on the after school routines for her and the activities at school really step up a gear after the May half term, what with Proms week, Sports Day and end of term activities rapidly looming. In addition to […]
Our D was 14 yesterday, can you believe it?! It was a day in which plans which had been made were changed and, although the morning had started early and angst-filled, ended happily, thanks in part to this little Koala (or Violet as D has named her): We had planned to go to the […]
It’s been a long week for D, she’s normally extremely tired by Friday but today she was even more so. She was in tears as she left for school and according to her Home-school diary got very upset at school, with more tears at home. She doesn’t like to say “no” to joining in with […]
D loves to draw, it – along with looking at countless similar pictures of My Little Pony or Minecraft on google – is one of her self-calming tools. She’s always drawn and every birthday/Christmas/other occasion card she writes is accompanied by a drawing, some of which are incredibly detailed. Drawing brings her happiness but, this […]
