Welcome

. . . in all seriousness, thanks for stopping by! This blog will no doubt evolve over time, and will include all sorts of content. My aim is to let you know what we're doing as a family, how I'm coping as the mum of a child with Cerebral Palsy, and a variety of other things too.

If you are the parent of a special needs child, I pray that you will find encouragement, hope and support within these posts. I'd like to get to know your story too, so be sure to leave a comment.

I hope you'll come back soon.

We're in!!!!

It has been an agonising month of waiting to find out if Isaac has been accepted into the Champion Centre.  The first meeting of the early intervention co-ordinators was cancelled, then the next meeting wasn't held due to school holidays.  Finally they had the meeting yesterday.  The result?  Yes, he's been accepted.  Isaac will now get regular physio therapy, Early Intervention, speech language therapy, music/computer therapy and some occupational therapy through the champion centre.

This is such a great opportunity for Isaac.  We've been waiting for over two years for this.  Now that he is that little bit older, I've started noticing more things that "aren't quite right", so have been advocating to get him transferred to there.  Bring on the next stage in Isaac's journey.  Can you tell how excited I am?  This is a really BIG DEAL.  He has an assessment next week and starts the following week.  Now all I have to do is rearrange my work schedule to fit it in.

Something else that I'm going to try, is a regular Wordless Wednesday post.  I've seen this on quite a few other blogs.  Often I struggle for inspiration when taking photos, and don't take nearly as many as I should. But I'm thinking I've got a clever way to "cheat".  I'm going to use the #photoadayMay challenge list. 

This will of course end up being another moving, evolving project but I'm hoping that I will be able to commit to it.  There are quite a few people out there in the blogisphere who are using instagram for their photos, but I prefer to only publish certain photos.  You will most likely end up seeing the photos either individually or as a collage.  But then who knows just how creative I may get.

Don't you hate it when you're writing, and your mind suddenly goes blank, and you have no idea of what you were going to write next, even though it should have just flowed and followed on from what was previously written.  That has just happened.  Arrrrgh!

I thought of this on Wednesday, so I'm actually going to begin next week, and am using the last few days of April's challenge list to get started.  I'm not going to post every day.  There's way too much going on in our lives to be able to do that, and if I was to do it monthly, it wouldn't be often enough and I'd lose interest and probably wouldn't accountable to do it regularly.  You like my thinking?  Not too much to be a burden, not too little to get forgotten.

Hasn't the way we communicate and share our lives with loved ones changed so much, particularly over the last decade?  Hmmm, I can see another post coming from this, LOL.
