Or ABR machine is sent away for repair

Oatie's ABR machine is away for repair, it has since really well, we have had it for years without fault.   Let's hope it comes back soon :) sledge hockey starts up again tomorrow :)

Ski day was a success

There was a school ski day and we skied as a family as Oatie couldn't ski with the school because the mountain doesn't have lessons catered for people with disabilities.

We had a really good day

Fluffy stuff

Today someone parked in the disabled parking spot,  no blue or red badge....  I agree that disability can be invisible...  However....  At least display the badge, or write a note...  Broken leg...

I agree first come first served...  But please just be genuine...

Hoping to ski on Saturday

Oatie is learning about the ear at the moment at school and sound waves... 

The kids gave me this mug and I absolutely love it

Went skiing this sat

We went skiing this sat and Oatie learned to steer himself a little on the less steep bits.   Oaties dad skis with him and I ski with our youngest.

The weather hasn't been too bad for wheelchairs at present.   We have had snow but it's been dry and manageable :)

What is the CP and what isn't

Sometimes Oaties behaviour, I can't tell what is the CP and what is not... Like his anger...  Is he just a hot head?  Or can he not help it?   When it comes to thinking for himself...  Some days he does it and Some days he doesn't...  Even with 3 other siblings older and younger to compare to...  I can't tell.   I do know he is exceptionally intelligent...  His relaxed/at home conversations still isn't spontaneous like my other 3.   He will ask for drinks etc...  Or if he wants to do something specific...  Sometimes he will tell me about this day on his own....  It's really quite sporadic...

Really a new year already?

Time and years seem to zip on by...  Our youngest started skating lessons this year...  And Oatie is just doing sledge for skating, we still skate as a family most Sundays..

Washing machine is in

Yay we have our new washing machine, so happy is here!
