Wow - has it really been a month since I last posted??

Not much has really changed...

Back at work and loving it.  Having a good effect on a child with a speech delay, and as a result his development in general is affected, but he talks to me more than anyone...  I take him from mum screaming every morning, but he calms within minutes, and then plays happily with me.  It's often repetitive play - a result of his speech and language delay, and Friday he even fell asleep on me towards the end of the session.  I stayed at work then until he woke for his lunch, as I didn't want him getting distressed if he couldn't find me when he woke.

Today was a day out with friends at a local wildlife park.  It was nice, as Clairabelle was able to surface for a while as we bought food to feed the animals.  She giggled at Si when he told her she could buy a bag of animal food.

I've been on Slimming World for a couple of weeks, and have lost 7 1/2 lb.  Today we went to ASK with Paul and Amanda after the wildlife park, so it was 3 courses including pudding...  oh well, back on the diet straight after!

Titch is a bit lost right now.  She came out at counselling last week and spoke to Oya for most of the session.  She's so sad.  She's lost and hurting.  She doesn't know whether to believe me or  grandad about the truth regarding the abuse.  I've been trying to get through to her gently that it was wrong, but it seems to have hit her all of a sudden and she's petrified.

I've joined an online playground group for littles, and that's been fun...  but I can't talk about triggering stuff there, so we've asked to join a group for older littles.  We'll see what happens.
