Fab Progress :-)

Despite all his difficulties Little Prince continues to try so hard to be like his friends, and is making fantastic progress :-) This might seem like a little thing to most of you, but it is a great leap for Little Prince and needs celebrating :-)

He can now zip up his coat all by himself - and will demonstrate with great flourish given any opportunity :-) I am so proud of my special little boy, who has tried so hard and been so determined to be able to achieve this :-)

Hi Jules,
I read about you and your lovely Amy-Li on Shawn's blog :-) Thanks for the "hooray" Little Prince totally deserves it :-) He has severe dyspraxia and its taken a lot for him to be able to do his own zips and he is so proud of himself :-)
Love

Lovely post to read! Zipping is big!!!!!!

Our Q will not let us TOUCH his jacket now that he knows how to zip. It took him awhile as his small motor skills are not easily mastered.

Hooray for little prince!

Hi Kristine,
Thank you so much :-) Little Prince has severe dyspraxia so its taken a huge amount of effort for him to manage this, and I'm bursting with pride :-) Can you tell lol.
Loved the latest picture of your Q, he is a lovely little boy :-) Glad your job situation worked out too, what a worry for you in this financial climate! Hope your adoption application gets back on track smoothly too.
Love
Janet

A huge ovation for Little Prince! No success is small...they're all HUGE accomplishments that build into bigger accomplishments as we get older! Your story reminds me of the day I learned to tie my own shoes...I did it over and over and over again And had to show anyone and everyone that would pay attention. :) Sweet success! Happy to see things are going great in Janet's world! It's your turn.

Love,

Hi Lisa,
Thank you :-) It sounds like you first tying your shoe laces and Little Prince managing to zip his coat up made you both very proud of yourselvs :-)

Well done LP!!! Hope your papers get sent by the end of the week J, keep us posted! No progress with our case - spoke to Darlington twice in the past week and they promised to sort it out, it doesn't sound like ours are in the queue though.

Hi WL,
So sorry to hear there's been no progress with your papers! How are you managing?? We've still had no word from DCSF and I'm beginning to lose hope that it will be this week :-( Another weekend in limbo :-(
