Massive box is finally on its way to you Cag. So sorry to have dragged my heels, I am terrible at posting stuff! I'd missed the day's collection so it will probably get to you Thursday or Friday.
I had an expensive mooch around Sainsbury's (not my usual territory) because I stocked up on some stuff that was on offer (light coconut milk, colour catcher sheets, random stuff like that). If it's stuff I always need and buy I think it's worth stocking up. The only frivolous spend was a gingerbread sheep for DS.
DD is really miserable with sore gums today and she is drooling like mad, poor thing. DS also had a massive meltdown after school because I picked him up in the car and we usually walk. I think the 'unfinished business' aspect really bothers him because he wants to walk back to school now in order to walk home. But it's a 45min round trip so I said no. Even the gingerbread sheep wasn't enough to distract him. At one point they were both screaming their heads off and I am afraid I just had to laugh. All calmed down at last, phew!
I am finally having some very late lunch.
Sunny that sounds very disruptive - is all the digging at least outside the house?
Also, I meant to say the other day (but didn't get round to posting promptly) that I agree that ASD is not necessarily a disability. It certainly is for my DS, as aside from anything else he does not have functional language skills, but I don't think it always is. In case you (or any others) are interested, there's a documentary on tonight at 9pm where Chris Packham, the naturalist from Springwatch, talks about his life with Aspergers. He had said that he does not think he would have been anywhere near as successful without it but acknowledges the impact it has had on personal relationships. He's a deep thinker, I think it will be worth a watch.
Cag what nice sporty parents!
