family update

Comment Published at 06:4906:491 comments1 comments9 Visits9 VisitsReport

 hi all 

things are going really well here  

Raymond is doing really well in school he has made some little friends YAY .

i am very proud of how he is doing , recently he got a a certificate for being the best behaved child in his classroom .

he is doing really well with his sign language and is now signing when he wants food and drinks ,

he also signs his sister and brothers names  . and recently has been signing MUMMY I LOVE YOU  omg the words i have been waiting to hear  still one day at a time and we will get there in the end .  he is now 5 and is turning 6 in april next year  he is in kindy at his special school and doing amazingly well 

 Connor  is now 4 years old and doing really well at preschool  he did his gymnastics competion he didnt win but he got a certificate for it and he was extremely proud of himself and so was i as of all the training and effort he put into his training . he has choosen to stop dancing for now and has learnt to ride a bike with training wheels but is now asking daddy to take them off .as he feels he is a big boy now 

Patrick  is 2 and since his ear operation his hearing and speech has improved sooooo much , he too loves gymnastics  and loves the big trampoline  . he adores preschool and he still is extremely cheeky he plays with connor heaps and both him and connor try and get raymond involved in many things they do to show him their world to and vice versa 

jades now 14 months and is now learning to walk she now grabs onto furniture and pulls herself up and also can walk with both hands held and even sometimes lets go of one of our hands and walks so now when we go our there is no pram she even holds onto her brothers hands and walks along with them  it is so adorable to see 

 she is also talking now she can now say two word sentences and if you ask her a question she will now answer either yes or no and she  knows what you are asking and replying with the answer that would go with it 

like if u ask do u want more , if she does she will answer yes and if she doesnt she will say no 

she is also now in daycare so now i have one in big school , 2 in preschool and one in daycare so now when they are now all at school i dont know what to do with myself lol

update on my family , sorry its been a while singed i blogged last

Comment Published at 23:2323:233 comments3 comments25 Visits25 VisitsReport

 hi all 

sorry its been so long since my last blog

i have some good news , raymond has started school YAY. he is getting along so well with all his classmates and special needs teacher  and  has also started doing sign language  its amazing . im sooooooooooooo proud of him , he has been showing great eye contact and loves playing with his brothers and sister . he still has his days but they are getting less and less of where he wont show eye contact . we take it one day at a time  

also connor  has been going to preschool lately and making lots and lots of friends  he is so smart i mean i find myself sometimes feeling like im chatting to another adult (i mean by how well he can speak) he  is also doing dancing and he loves it so much and i took them to gymnastics to see how hey would go and they adore it soooooooooooo much . connor will be entering into next terms gymnastics competion where he can win medals so i have my fingeres crossed as he has been training . even when he is playing you can see him learning his routines for gym . its so cute  he makes me very proud 

patrick also goes to preschool with connor and as soon as we turn up he goes hypo he loves it . recently patrick had to have an operation as he had a ear infection that lead to a burst ear drum (perfurated eardrum)  during the surgury they took out his adnoids and put in grommets too . since having that operation his speech has started to return and better . patrick loves helping raymond with his  homework and so i give the kids a piece of paper each and they try and copy raymond with the drawing . i sometimes sit there and watch them enjoying that time together as it really warms my heart that they have found a great way to open raymond up to their world too 

jade has gotten so big . she is now crawling , pulling herself up on things and she has begun speaking YAY well atm its still (mum mum and dad dad  but she ahs now actually been saying ray, con, pat and she calls herself jay as she hasnt quite got her d's yet lol 

so  all is well and things are going along slowly but surely

my babygirl was in hospital last night

Comment Published at 05:5505:5512 comments12 comments51 Visits51 VisitsReport

she began projectile  vomiting at 9am and  and then getting really sleepy after every vomit so we ended up taking her to our nearest hospital and  where she began throwing up every single breastfeed  what scared me during the day is her tempreture hit 38.5 at one point and my boys have had a febrile convulsions at 39 degrees and i was so worried i was gonna see another one of my babies fitting again   later during the day while at the hospital we found out jade had caught  viral gastroenteritis  and  at about 11pm last night we were finally discharged from hospital after she started being able to hold down her breastfeeds and that i have found out i have  also picked it up too  which is not so fun so grandma is having some fun with the boys so it is less likely for them to catch it (fingers crossed)

i hope she feels a bit better very soon she is resting at the moment and holding down feeds so that is a great sign atm
