One diagnosis down woo!!!!

well just had a meeting with the educational physiologist and he has confirmed what i already knew about my lovely boy he is DYSLEXIC!! i must confess i burst into tears, not because im sad just because i have one answer the guy is now referring us to the other team embers who need to see alex to tell us if he has asperges or not which i know he has. Mr critchlie raved about how nice alex is and how clever he is, he then asked me all the things alex does to make us think he has asperges, so i once again repeated the endless list of things he does, in between i felt i had to keep telling them how i dont mind alex is different and how much i love him and i just want to help him lol thats about the point the tears appeared again, mr critchlie is referring us onto another team hat deals with alex's behaviour and supports the family. Feel im just starting another path of this long journey xx

Quick no little kids what to do???

Omg!! Jays mum has just come and collected jay and the 3 little kids!!! YAY!!!!!

Ben has just made me a cup of tea and brought me a galaxy yummy, I had a list of things to do when the kids went, that included a sleep, bath, lunch, do nothing but here i find i have parked my arse to do nothing, dinner is on washing is done so frig it lol!!

Alex is going to the pictures tomorrow with the school then for the rest of the day has to wear slippers, then tuesday mad hair day, but wed he is getting assessed, the guy has seen him before, but he is the dude we need to do a referral for alex, so following the advice of a fab mummy im sending him wired to the hilt, late night early morning, a can of redbull a bag of sweets on the way to school, might even get the 2 eldest to do what they do best, annoy him lol
Sounds mean but i want the guy to see alex as we see him at home his day in school is very structured so alex very rarely has a meltdown or is naughty in school, lack of concentration yes!! so fingers crossed my plan will work.

Alex in his school panto

Well i would love to post a pic with this post but sadly we where not allowed to take pictures!! what a sad world we live in.

Well alex was an elf he laughed as he said he didnt need elf plastic ears as he has very pointed ears anyway lol
seeing his face beem when he saw me and his dad sitting in the audience mad the shite play worth sitting threw, he was so happy!! He chatted utter crap all the way home, then asked out of the blue why michael and ben have a different dad!!

It was hard when we did get him home because it was to late for him to have a film before bed so a mini meltdown was had.
He has a mad week next week in school monday pictures and wear slippers day, tuesday mad hair day wed own clothes day thursday dress up as a decoration!! oh and tuesday night he has his first school disco so i imagine we will get the backlash of his days being up the wall but we will muddle threw.

Assesment again!!!

Following my meeting with the SENCO teacher, who i must say was very nice, and didnt treat me like a demented mother who just wants extra attention for her son.
She has arranged for alex to be assessed by the old dude who assessed him last year, We thought it was ADHD last time he was looked at so this time I hope he goes at a different angle.
This is the dude who decides what route to take either pathways, were by i have to convince 3 suits alex has asperges, Or!! a referral to alder hey!! sheer joy!!!

My choice to leave work

Well the end of my mat leave has been fast approtching and i was faced with the decision of what to do.
I have after all got 5 kids, and the new world of alex to deal with, the biggest issue of his is routine!!

So I have decided that after many years of having a job its time to stay at home and raise the kids!
Im meant to return to work for 12 weeks then 4 weeks notice, but my fab bos has done it so i only actualy work 8 weeks, 26 shifts, my nerves have gone the loss of my monthly wage is going to be like a death in the family, but as many a person has told me you cut your cloth to size.... or something along those lines lol
