At school!! It's written in the home/school contact book. It says 'everyone was so excited!' (He is in mainstream reception.. has cp)

He has taken steps at home (little wobbly toddles!) but not six before!!!

YOU guys make my day when you go on like this.. But it has to be said.. he is a little star! I was saying to DH the other night, he is best described as a little bundle of love! That's pretty much all he does, (albeit whilst climbing/falling/accidentally breaking everything)..love everyone! I love the way the other kids are with him in his class! When he has been to one of his medical appointments (pretty much weekly) and I take him back to school and push him into the class, one of the other kids will sat 'Alex is back!' and WHOOOSH! loads of them are all over him! He loves it!

Yes we are very lucky in that respect I know (Davros).. as social interation is his one strong point...despite not doing an awful lot of actual talking!
