Just realised I haven't posted in nearly 3 weeks. Isaac's school entry review went ok. One of those meetings where we all agree nothing has changed so we carry on as we are and review again next year. Malachi was very good although he was eyeing up the headmaster's fruit bowl and saying "nana" every so often. Apparantly Jeremiah has been telling Isaac's teachers how to look after Isaac when he thinks they are doing it wrong. I think this is sweet but I appreciate it must be driving Isaac's teachers crazy.
Children in need day came around again and we went to ASDA after school as usual so that Jeremiah could hug the man dressed up in a pudsey suit. Isaac wasn't too keen though which led to the following conversation:
Isaac: I could be on children in need
Jeremiah: No you couldn't
Isaac: Yes I could, I've got a wheelchair
Jeremiah: Yes, but you're scared of Pudsey
I think Jeremiah had a point!
Yesterday Isaac, Malachi and I had our flu jabs. Isaac went first as usual. It was the usual trauma of me picking him up and the nurse jabbing him ASAP. Not very dignified but better than being in hospital with flu (again). Oddly enough it was Malachi who calmed him down by not making a sound when he had his done, taking us all by surprise and stopping Isaac in his tracks. Then I had mine and off we went to buy cake as is tradition after an appointment where needles are involved.

Update on us
Thought I'd better do an update post as a lot has happened in the last few weeks. On 11th May I got a phone call from exeter mobility centre asking me why we hadn't come to Isaac's appointment. Somehow the letter had got lost in the post, argh. On 12th May we had my birthday celebrations, going to a new park, cocktails in the garden and out for dinner. Then we all came down with the hideous tummy bug that was going round the school so I spent my 30th birthday cleaning up puke.
Last week was the week of appointments. On Monday we went to the GP who referred Isaac to the orthapeadic surgeon to try and sort out what shoes he can wear for PE. Then we went to orthotics at the hospital where they said that Isaac's feet haven't grown so he doesn't need new piedro boots. On tuesday Isaac did preschool in the morning while Malachi and I did breastfeeding group. The health visitor had a good moan at me for postponing Isaac and Malachi's immunisations for later in the week. In the afternoon we went to school to meet the occupational therapist, her student, the lady from the PIMS team and the school senco. The occupational therapist was lovely and actually asked Isaac what he wanted which was nice. She went round measuring everything and has ordered steps, grab rails and a toilet seat.
On Wednesday morning Isaac had his school induction meeting. We heard the same speech from the head and the teacher that we heard when Jeremiah started and we were shown a short video of what I thought would be the current reception class but turned out to be Jeremiah's year group. On Wednesday afternoon Isaac slept for 3 hours, absolutely shattered. On thursday Isaac was meant to be at preschool but at 11:30 they phoned me up and asked me to collect him as he had fallen asleep. So glad I postponed the immunisations. On Friday we had a letter from exter mobility centre and Isaac's new appointment is on 11th June. Isaac and I have already picked the wheelchair we would like. I really hope they agree and I'm worried they will offer us a special needs buggy or nothing at all. Isaac hates being "babied" because of his disabilities so he won't be happy if he has to go to school in a buggy. If we get nothing I won't be able to leave the house once he grows out of the buggy we have.
This week is half term. A chance to recharge our batteries and get some housework done before another busy week next week.
