Being happy doesnt mean that everything is perfect.

It means that you have decided to look beyond the imperfections...

Busy, hectic week... some bad days some good


This week has been hectic, running around for alot of appointments for Ellie.
Amongst all this we had a bad few days with Ellie not drinking. This is still going, but we have an appointment withthe paediatrician this afternoon so I am hoping he has some answers. Fingers Crossed!!

A positive thing this week was Luke, Ellie and I went to check out a special development school, that has an early education program. In english it is a school for kids with additional needs and delayed development.

They have a early education program that takes kids from 2 years and 8 months. I was really really impressed with all that I saw, they classes are small (2 - 8 kids) the rooms are beautifull, they have a secure outdoor deck for kids to play on.

The school also has their own physio, speech therapist, OT, psychologist, sensory therapist etc and all of these are involved in developing your child to ther best of their abilitys. They work alot on making the child as independant as possible in a safe environment.... and work very closely with the parents on setting goals based on what the parents want and also where the teacher feels the child is at

Can you tell that I LOVED it...

This is still a while off, but I want to make sure we are totally happy with where we send Ellie.
We are going to check out another special development school next month, and then will make a decision about which waiting list to put Ellie on

Here are some new pics of our princess... Enjoy!!!
