It was good Girlie. He was allowed to choose a friend to sit with and they were put on the special needs table, which was a bit odd, but it didn't seem to phase him. I imagine his friend was probably a bit 
.
The boy who usually dominates ds said loudly in the queue "Good, I'm glad you're not going home for lunch. I hope it stays this way forever. I didn't like you going home." and now ds and I are quite confused.
I imagine there will be ups and downs, but he can at least tell me what they are now. In reception he didn't have enough language to tell me what was happening, which made everything much harder.
The canteen lady rang me the same day with lots of ideas for how to accommodate his diet stuff, and saying not to worry about involving the council people at this stage, so it's great that he can just have a go, without me having fill in a million forms and get it all set in stone.
It was great having longer to think in the day time. I think if we could carry on like this then that would be good. Must just keep my eye on the ball and make sure the broadened diet isn't sending his behaviour off the rails and meaning he has to mask more in class, which would be hard for him.
