Hi all!
It's been a while since i've been on so thought i'd pop in and give you a quick update on Brodie and the boys.
I can't believe Brodie's first year at school is soon gonna be over, it's really flying by! He's getting on really well although he's still only going mornings at the moment as getting the funding for his statement is turning out to be a bit of a nightmare I'm hoping he'll be going full time by Easter. He seems to like counting but is not a bit interested in drawing or writing and apparently likes being the leader in class! He's also really getting the hang of reading and can read the words, Mummy, Daddy, Brodie, Ethan, eating , sleeping, reading and drinking! ;D
He's just got his first pair of glasses which we picked up on friday and i think they been on for a total of about 10 minutes since we got them! lol I would try and put a piccie of him wearing them on here but he doesn't keep them on long enough! Never mind the optician said not to force it as the perscription is so slight at the moment anyway.
Potty training has gone out the window for the time being, he started off doing so well and i thought he'd almost cracked it but it's like we've taken about 10 steps backwards at the moment. Hopefully we'll give it a really good try once the nice weathers here and it doesn't matter so much about having tons of wet clothes!
As for Corbie and Lucas they're growing up really quickly - can't believe they'll be two soon! Brodie is teaching them all his bad habits and like typical boys they're always fighting or chasing each other. Lucas is at a bit of a disadvantage at the moment though as at 20 months he still isn't walking! If he doesn't get his act together in the next couple of weeks Brodie will have walked at an earlier age than him - and they say children with ds are slow to reach their milestones! lol!
Anyway hope all your kids are doing well, i'm gonna go and try and catch up on some of the other posts now and see what they've been up to!
Take care x x
