I know 2020 was a miserable year in so many ways but I thought perhaps we could cheer ourselves up with a thread about our children's achievements in 2020.
Tsunami
- gave me a hug of his own volition (previously would only either back into me or approach from behind to rest his head on me)
- learned to sleep through the night
- has managed to increase his time in school and coped with it
- learned how to be angry (just for a few seconds and very toddler like but he has allowed it to show)
- was invited to play as a member of a 4 strong team in one of his favourite sports - and was able to tell me things that would help him cope with it
Hurricane
- has managed a volunteering role as part of his Duke of Edinburgh award (and enjoyed it so much he wants to carry on)
- has been able to manage his anxiety at being out of my sight for 10 minutes at a time while in a familiar place
- been voted onto the school council (his one wish on his EHCP review last year)
- made mince pies of his own volition for a school friend of his and asked me to deliver them
- competed at County level in his favourite sport in front of a large crowd in an unfamiliar place
(Leo - am in remission and hopefully will need no further treatments. This one is an achievement for all of us; it has been very hard for Tsunami and Hurricane to manage but they have done so and I am proud of how much they have helped me when I wasn't able to do much myself.)
Come on, tell us yours ...
