Portage

Along with physio Sonny receives a service called Portage. This is where a lovely lady comes mostly once a week to help stimulate him with different toys to aid his progress. These photos are from last week.
It's quite amusing, Sonny loves Derryl, this lady but Jan the physio, he cries if he looks at her. he knows who she is and knows she is going tog ive him a workout! Derryl is more fun and doesn't push him as hard. Sylvie loves to join in too.



Well, I'm not seeing much of the big kids this holiday. They seem to have their own social lives. Ruby came down the stairs in tights, shorts, handbag and put her long boots on to go and play outside the other day. She didn't look co-oridinated at all. My god, there were some very young girls in Spar yesterday in what I would call 'fuck me' boots that I couldn't even walk in!! They must have been around Ruby's age. It was a bit gross actually. Ruby has an incline about fashion, as seen from her attempt with the shorts/tights/long boots combo but her tights were woolly schoolones, her shorts from the summer and her boots are Clarks. Battered old, LOW heeled suede not mock-croc stilletto! I watched her leave the house and felt myself age about 20 years. My mum must have watched me in the same way with my 70s wedges, stripey tights and velvet blazers. But saying all this, I was about 14. Ruby isn't 8 yet. What the hell have I got in store with 2 girls??? Especially MY daughters. Shit.

I actually used the words 'You are NOT going out dressed like that!' today. She was in vest, summer hot pants and flip flops. She humphed a bit but I gave her my 'evil Mum eyes' as her friend Mia was here and I was loath to use the 'STOP SHOWING OFF' line. I have used it before now but I remember my mother using using it and how humilating it felt.
When I am very firm and give her the 'look' she knows not to mess with Mumma. We have a sticker chart for how good she is every day. LOL. HER idea!! She's actually been marvelous for the whole half term so way to go Roo.

She stayed at her mate's last night so I let Tom sleep in with me. He is so bony!!! We had the best chat that ended in him proclaiming that 'he would NEVER understand women!!'' Little git, haha.

Sonny has been the happiest little chappy for days. Long may it continue.
Sospot is a little bugger. Even when she's naughty she cracks me up though which ends in her getting the giggles. Such a funny little girl. Sly but in the sweetest possible way :0)
