Hello again. A few busy days since my last blog. I have been busy preparing for what needs doing at the allotment, well mainly reading, reading and more reading but think i have it sorted in my head now. Went to the garden centre the other day and bought some seeds, carrots, cauliflower, lettuce, pak choi, and other things i can,t remember right now, need to sort them out now see what i still have from last year and what is still usable. i have decided on raised beds i think all in all they will be easier to manage and easier to keep the kids off as they can then see where they are not supposed to walk. Will hopefully get there tomorrow weather permitting.
Piers had his hospital appointment the other day, they felt they couldn,t diagnose ADHD yet as he is too young but if he was 6 or 7 they would be putting him on medication. they want to see us again in 1 year and do the whole assessment again. Very frustrating as he needs the support now really and people on board who know how to manage him. I am unsure regarding medication but will keep an open mind. I am worried something really bad will happen before he gets a diagnosis as he has no awareness of danger, the other day whilst walking to school he ran off ahead we were running late and the lollipop lady had gone so he just crossed the busy main road on his own, thankfully someone intercepted him at the other side but he didn,t understand what he had done wrong. Will need to write a social story i think explaining what could happen.
That night we were at a birthday party Piers and Lydia loved it but it was all abit much for Marcus who became very anxious and started to get stressed, when he gets stressed he becomes loud and aggressive and the other parents were all looking thankfully they all know he has autism but I got a few strange looks. After the party it was parents evening both teachers pleased with Piers and Lydia, Lydia is a quiet but academically doing well and has friends so that was a relief, Piers is making good steady progress now he has his statement of special educational needs. I gave them each a small reward for doing well. Piers has a girlfriend who he will be marrying they start young these days, god help us when he is a teenager.
I have just come back from the hairdressers my purple hair extensions have gone and i am now very blond will try to post some photos later. I like it but i know I will get bored all one colour and in 6 weeks will probably have some more extensions in. DH says i am too old but i don,t care.
Must go house looks like a bombs hit it we have no food in and Lydia has got Milly round for tea tonight need to come up with a plan quick.
