WE CAN!!!

I began writing this blog for several reasons...
One of them was pure inspiration brought on by MS Stacey Vee (and her Lionhearts), another
was to hold some kind of record keeping of some of the stuff we get excited about or challenged on...another was I wanted a record for my boy, for my girl...to one day experience what I felt and how I dealt with things at times, the good, the bad and the precious and the not so precious.

Its been tough at times, very crazy schedules, working full time and having two babies in school, and life....
And I haven't quite got to the quota of blog posts I would've liked...but here I am...here WE are...on
the cusp of an ADVENTURE.

We have begun "home schooling" for our Horsie...yes WE CAN...

We did this set up in the December/January Holidays...as you can see...we are truely blessed because a few alterations here and there, a few additions, and some serious thought...went into making this space for our boy as calm, clear and educational as possible along with a conversion of his room into a therapy room kitted out with OT equipment... ready for some great leaps of focus and motor co-ordination. We got help from the Blue Suede Heaven Elvis supporters Club and 702...and this went a long way to ensuring Horsie got all he needs to move forward - to experience the skills he needs to survive in this world. Thats all a mother ever wants is to know...when I am NOT here...he can take care of himself...thats all I want...that is the peace I long for in my heart...and all this...takes me one step further to that dream...that peace.

The garden is now seriously overly CHILD friendly...but we wouldn't have it any other way. Ms Ladybug even wants to be "schooled" at home at times. She still loves her school of course...you cant fault her...it really didn't turn out too badly...even if its in our lounge...

Its alarmingly LOUD...but here is the sheer gorgeous amazing truth...that we may have made a good decision...

Our Horsie seems relaxed, focused....and LOOK...he stacked, stacking cups all on his own in his new classroom.

We are super proud...and really cant wait for more to happen...for more super hero behaviour from our boy..

He is indeed challenging AUTISM...
