Well, we had his sports day
Everyone made a big fuss of him in his new chair, and he did the first race in it. All the parents were clapping and cheering him on, and the look on his face was something to behold, he was beaming so hard I thought his face would split ! Of course I blubbed my way through the whole race, I was so proud of him. Then he decided he wanted to do two races crawling, so they gave him a head start, and again everyone was cheering him on, which is when dh started sobbing . They even made a crawling race specially for him, and all the children crawled alongside . Final race was a relay, and they stuffed the beanbag in his trousers, which he thought was hilarious
Then the nursery served soft drinks and wine, we sat and had a picnic, where he crawled about talking to his mates, then he went for a whizz up and down the hill in his chair.
He pushed himself about in dd2 and ds1's playground while we were waiting to collect them, pretending to be a police car, shouting "emergency emergency" at the top of his voice. He has such joy in his face and heart when he is in the chair, I am sooo overwhelmed with love and pride for him
And thank you all for such an amazing response. You don't know how much it means to me. We don't have any family to tell really, and you have more than made up for that
