James' letter has come through the door today ... from his assesment.. we knew what it would say but when you read that someone else has written... ' he is less socailly interctive' ' much worse then when I last saw him' it make s me cry... we live with him but when we are taken out of our comfort zones it always leaps out at you whats happening.....
Iguess very much the same as James. whilst we're here at home we are all content... when we d something differnt it's hard work and sometimes awful.. and maybe even sometimes impossible.
saying that we went to the seaside.... it was freezing cold but thought it would be a nice change and not many people about..... fun was had by all i think even harry who was made to sit in the pushchair the entire time... i knew too much sand would be eaten otherwise!! lol

James seemed content to stand at look at the sea for long periods of time but arent we all...... te only difference.. when the sea came up to his toes and beyond he didnt run out the way.. in fact just walked further into it... so with 8 very wet feet ( james' Tom's Jack's & Oliver's) we headed to some shops...... XXXXX 'STOP... not that shop' we shouted as we headed inside and jaes started to protest...... 'too much colour' too crowded'... so quickly we have learnt with shops are 'ok' to go into and others that are a complete no no.

i like to think of it a as a way of james trying to make me spend no money.. these full bright, cluttered shops are full of crap I dont need anyway! LOL so in essence I thank you James!

It's New Years Eve........ Harry's first birthday tomorrow , to which we wil have a little cake I cant beleive how much has happend in the last year..... and poor little Harry sometimes gets almost forgotten about.. James is constant appoinments and the ways in which we have changed our lives has a huge impact on him.  So this year when we Start Team James, Harry will be able to have much more interaction with other children that will surround him.....

I thank each and every one of you that has supported us this year, in what looking back has been scary, fun, tearful, some wonderful times with the fete and some terrible low times with some friends.

Here's to a better year.. a positive year, a HAPPY NEW YEAR

Much love to all xxxx ♥
