All is well and happy in the Long household. On Wednesday Jason had 3 spoons of yogurt fed all by himself and some cheese off a sandwich. Such good progress considering he was happy to feed himself with his little friends at school. Huge steps forward for him.
Then Wednesday afternoon he had his second swimming lesson with Aunty Mandy. He absolutely LOVES swimming. This time mommy was smart enough to dress him in the car before we arrived at the pool. Aunty Mandy wasn't in her costume yet (we were a bit early) so he VERY patiently had to wait on the step shaking with excitement!! He is definitely a water baby just like his daddy. I am SO proud of him and love taking him swimming because he loves it so much - a real natural in the pool.

We missed OT on Monday but speech went really well. Jason LOVES therapy which makes therapy that much easier to go to. Always races in the room full of excitement!!
I have had school on my mind a lot this week. Next year I am going to keep him at the little school he is at. He turns 5 next year and really doing so well where he is. Jeanette and Carol really put the extra time and effort with Jason and they are absolutely fantastic with him. After next year we will have to make some decisions on where to go. I know he won't be able to go to a main stream school. He just would not cope but who knows, a lot can happen in a year. I actually got a call today from the little school I had put his name down and sadly I had to say "nope take us off the list". I would love him to go to a "normal" school but that's just not possible. So we going to have to look at our options. The closest "special needs" school is 45 mins away from where we live but there has been some talk of a special needs school in the area. That would be fantastic because I really don't know what we would do having to drive 45 mins there and 45 mins back if I have to go to work. That's like 3 hours of driving if I continue working close to home, never mind the cost of petrol etc. Oh well we have some time to make decisions and a lot can happen in a year.
Polygam I have moved it to 4 weeks this one and next because we will be away for 2 weeks over December. Otherwise Jason has been well besides the gagging and vomiting. I think a lot of it has to do with the car and him over heating as well.
Tonight after a really busy day Jason was lying down playing his guitar. Jamming and all of a sudden silence! When I looked he had fallen asleep in the middle of playing a tune LOL.
