Can’t tell me what is up with her… So I hand her a pen.
Beautiful meaningful and sustained eye contact over breakfast today. Precious moments…
Yeah, more, want that one, plait, will you, no, Daddy, Mummy.
I have just seen Angie’s school production and I have seen every child and young person and staff member take part joyful, happily, noisily and triumphantly in a spectacular show that put me through every emotion and pack of tissues!
A big thank you to those people who have so generously donated their time and expertise to the first “Miracles” album.
As Angie continues to write more and more our excitement grows with it. Communication has been good this week, with loads of eye contact and vocalising outside of son rise sessions used by Angie to keep up with the goings on on the house and to play a small part in our conversations.
Phew, sitting down for coffee with my mate, rather a rare occurrence these days. Normal life, some people know what that’s like, I stand on the periphery of what I believe to be normal life.
Things were a bit calmer this week. Phew. The back and front gates are now padlocked and we can allow dog and girl free access to the back garden again. They do seem to be getting on very well.
It’s been another busy week at the Ratcliffes with a few dramas! Babs has been at work all week, being a children’s home school hols are our busiest time!
April finds the Ratcliffe family fast approaching 30 Son rise hours a week having recently secured help at the weekend. Angie is really enjoying herself. the journey to this over the last couple of months has been beset with difficulties that we have had to take time to find ways through.
