Has just received another award at school...this time for writing a story that was properly structured and punctuated...first time he's managed it! Hurray!
I was invited into school this morning to read it by the Head Honcho, Mrs Dixon. It's all about Thomas The Tank Engine...I'm sure he'd have written about Hammy if he'd had the chance but the topic was given to the children by the Teacher.
So that's another treat Aidan gains this weekend...I've booked him a quad biking lesson as a surprise as he got a quad bike for Christmas and hasn't been on it yet, and that will take place on Sunday 25 February. Then when he's got the hang of it he can join the Kids Club and ride out on a purpose-built track with supervision.
Aidan wants to join a dancing class and his old teacher has suggested that he attends the after-school dancing club for a couple of sessions to see how he gets on. Then hopefully he will attend a local dancing school run by the daughter of one of his Helpers at school. He already knows her as she has connections with the school through sessions that she takes there so that is useful as he has difficulty settling with strangers.
It's great having some activities in the pipeline as Aidan can be quite lazy at times and much prefers being in my company so this will all help to get him used to being away from me all the time.
And of course now that Hammy is with us he's got another interest and I do find that he is spending more time with Hammy than with me so it's all good!
So once again Aidan has made me a very proud mum and I'm pleased that he's making good progress at school.
It's school holidays here next week and Aidan has chosen to attend his after-school club all week so that he can participate in the various activities and trips that have been arranged for the children, which means that he'll be mixing rather than spending all week hanging round my knees! All good for developing his social and communication skills of course.
Well I'd best go now and get back to domesticity...Friday is housework day for me
