What progress looks like

As we approach the end of the official 'summer holiday' I am feeling unbelievably proud of my boys (and myself). It has, by our standards, been one of our most successful summers. Of course our measure of success is very different to many other families...

Twin 1 smiles and laughs now. He plays. He still watches Twin 2 to gauge safety, but is starting to do things independently at home.

Twin 2 has engaged (yes, engaged!!) with visiting professionals. He has been in and out of the campervan, and even accompanied us on a little drive.

As the autumn term approached we will be easing ourselves back into home learning, but it will look different this term. I hope to get the boys out in the van, exploring new places and learning through nature. It has been a long time coming, but I think we are nearly there...

This week's small wins

• Seeing the boys excited about something again

• Twin 1 has woken up at 2pm (rather than 3pm) rather last couple of days

• Twin 1 has started eating meat (again)

• Twin 2 has found his voice

• Mummy feels excited about the autumn term
