The Life of Max: Jan 2013

It's bee an embarrassingly long time since I updated Max's blog. We moved house at the end of last year and since then I've taken a lot of photos but not got around to putting them on the computer till now! Our new house is just wonderful and Max loves being here, as do the cats and us grown-ups for that matter! We are a bit further from family and friends but not so far as to not still be friendly and miss out on the social gatherings :)

Max has been storming through his new challenges at his new nursery and with his homeschooling and Callum and I are SO proud of him and his progress. He is still a happy, loving, funny boy and thank God - still very healthy. Hooray!

Over these next few blogs you'll see a lot of Max's drawing and writing skills which we've been working particularly hard at to go alongside his reading so that hopefully one day soon he will be able to communicate with written language alongside his speech, which is still a struggle for him. On that front though, he has continued to get better with talking and using his PECs and is more confident to use them with unfamiliar adults now.

At Max's new nursery he has a wonderful new teaching assistant (TA) who he really loves and works very well with.

A new development for us is that we have decided to add a new member to the family - a finnish lapphund puppy! :) Please look up this breed if you are unfamiliar - they are incredible! We are on a waiting list for a puppy hopefully this Autumn or Winter depending on when the pair mate successfully. More updates to follow on that note!

Here's me and my sweet kitteh girl, Damson

Some of the many new PECs I've made for Max over the last few months.We're not quite at telling time yet but I want him to be familiar with how these look before we use them for real.
