Why break the habit of a lifetime and blog when I should....so I say as I do each post. I am sorry for my terrible lack of posts.
Where to begin?!
I will start with the latest 'worry' that we have been having. Jack has been having a few strange little episodes for the last month I would say. Going back there has been times where I have mentioned to people that I haven't thought his eyes have looked quite right so actually this has probably been going on for a while longer. He is sometimes exceptionally hard to wake up in the morning. You have to physically lift him to rouse him and then it takes him ages to come round. The one particular morning I was due to visit my sister so had got him up to get everything ready before we dropped the other children at school, he just didn't look himself at all when he came round. Other than saying that I really don't know how to explain it. He didn't look like he was with us at all. I kept asking him to speak to me to make sure he was OK. We then started to walk to school and all of a sudden one of his nostrils started to bleed for no reason. It was very watery blood as well. I wiped it away and we carried on walking. Jack has a buggy board to stand on and though he does like it, he really does enjoy walking. I asked him if he wanted to get down and he said yes but when his feet hit the floor his legs wouldn't move. He spent the next hour very teary and then BAM he snapped out of it.
He has had a few more of these just lately. Not to that extreme but occasionally spending over an hour just whinging or having a burst of being naughty that doesn't quite seem normal really. He had an appointment with his paediatrician on Friday and they have referred him for an EEG done. We are just waiting on the appointment coming through for that now.
Since they are finding nothing physically wrong with his legs, I am starting to wonder whether maybe they are connected.
On to some good news. He is coming on so so well with his understanding of things. This will probably seem like such a small thing to people that have a child developing at an average speed but it made me almost cry when he sad it. He went to a birthday party on Sunday and he was given a piece of cake in his party bag. He was eating it when he got home and I asked him how it was. He replied with "nice". Like I say this is such a small thing normally but for him to say nice anyway is amazing but for him to be able to say it in the context it was needed and for him to be able to tell me that he is enjoying something is just the most rewarding feeling. I just cant explain how proud I am everyday of how well he is coming on.
I'm not sure whether I have mentioned anywhere in this blog that Jack made a very special friend at nursery, K-M, he absolutely adored her but she left. We have spoken of her everyday since then and he would show me his sad face. Through a mutual friend I have come into contact with her mum!! It absolutely made my day and certainly made Jacks when he received a video from her! It has to be the cutest thing that I have ever seen in my life. Both the video of her and Jacks reaction to it. He watches it over and over every single day and each day he says hi back to her and blows kisses. More importantly their love is to be fully rekindled as they have got a place at the same primary school!! Could true love blossom at such an early age??? Watch this space....;0)
