You'll be pleased to hear that this year we didn't accidently maim DS this year while trying to stop him doing something dangerous as we did last year, and while the GPs tried their best with a car door and a momentary lapse of concentration, the A&E file has stayed small.
DS has pleasingly moved on from stroking people and diggers to licking doorhandles and sleeping under the bed. His memory is coming on leaps and bounds and he can now recite the whole of Megamind and delights in doing so to whoever he meets wherever they happen to be at the time.
His foray into tooth-woodcarving is coming on nicely and he has made some beautiful marks on his bed and has customised the full dining set now. We did have to talk to him when he customised the full set of wooden spoons out of the kitchen drawer, but when he has the creative bit between his teeth, what can we do?
While talking of creativity his masterpiece "Half eaten packet of plasticine", thought to be lost, was found down the back of the wardrobe and has now been saved for prosperity and the next trip to see the paediatrician who I am sure will be delighted. DS has also been working on his collection this year and the installation artwork "Pile of Sticks in various stages of decomposition" is the true highlight of the garden, while "Rocks" graces his bedroom with mastery. Its hard to decide which I appreciate more!
Athletically, DS has been coming on leaps and bounds and he can now bounce for many hours on the trampoline whilst singing his own composition "gnnerr gnneer, gnneer" a tonal masterpiece worthy of his open air performances. His sprinting off into the distance is inspirational and we can often be found legging it after him singing our own composition, "Stop, stop, stop come back"
So all in all a good year, I'm sure you'll agree.
Yours,
