HALLELUJAH i have finally after almost 8 months of looking found a buggy (pushchair) for disabled children..It's not in the best of conditions as it's coming via Ebay but i don't bloody care as it only cost me £35 and i also got a padded seat cover for it too and the offer of a shopping basket as and when she gets one in. The woman (i presume it was a woman!!) was an absolute delight to deal with and very very helpful. It should be here tomorrow so finger's crossed.
Speech Therapy 2wk ago was a disaster as bloody usual, he didn't wanna know and wouldn't even go into the room. She made me laugh as he was playing with a wooden toy so after about 25mins she dragged it out of the waiting room into the Therapy room lol. Taylor wasn't impressed but it worked!!! She went into Nursery on Monday this week and he did everything she wanted him to do first time without any hassle at all. I tried it with him and he did it for me too and looked so proud of himself when he got them all right, so we rewarded him with balloon play which went down a treat. He has been doing it all week so it's looking hopeful that we've cracked it now (finger's crossed)
Taylor has started using his potty again, on and off. We had a 'dry' (no pun intended) spell where he stopped using potty and toilet at our house but went to the toilet all the time at my moms house. All he did here was wee on the floor (thank god for wood flooring) and waited until i put a pull up on him then he'd have a poo.
His speech is getting better and better everyday, even the kids are understanding him a lot more now and managing to have a full conversation too where both parties understand each other which is nice as he isn't being ignored as much now because they don't know what he's saying and getting him frustrated to the extent where he'd lash out at them!!
Only 2 more weeks left at Nursery then 2 weeks before he starts Primary School, I'm really excited but very anxious at the same time!! I just can't believe it's gone so quick and he's 4 year old, time really does fly by. Sometimes i wish we could keep them babies forever but i am so proud of him and i wouldn't change a single thing. I keep hearing and reading about all these crusaders fighting the big fight to find that 'miracle cure' and to be honest if they ever do find one i don't think I'd take it, as at the end of the day Taylor is who he is because of his ASD and without that he'd be a complete stranger and i wouldn't be the person i am today without it. As devastated as i was when i found out about this horrible thing taking over my child's life i have a lot to thank it for and i am so glad it found us!! xXx
