Well it was the big reunion on Monday of Jack and his K-M. I wasn't sure in the morning how much he understood of where we were going.
I was stood behind him when he saw her for the first time but he ran as fast as he could and sort of scooped her into his arms. It was one of the cutest things Ive ever seen in my life.
They spent the entire day playing together, most of the time on the bouncy castle. I have never seen a bond like it between 2 children of the ages they are and especially given their chromosome abnormalities. K-M has an equally unique abnormality, so this makes them a very special little 'couple'.
Whenever they walk past each other they stroke the others arm or touch their back and they really do seem that they fully understand each other. K-M seems to be able to understand what Jack needs and can speak for him at times. It really is quite an emotional and wonderful thing to sit and watch.
Jack also went to spend an hour at his new school yesterday. He was very shy a first but soon turned the charm on everyone that spoke to him. Each child from the unit is assigned a reception class that they will go to for any lessons or times that they feel they are able to. They told me yesterday that they have assigned Jack to K-M's reception class and her classroom support will be able to offer support to Jack too. They seem to realise that the bond they have is quite extraordinary and they will use it to settle them both into their new school.
I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures as much as I do. :)
