And so, the wide-eyed newbies headed for school, and that was just myself and Loup.... Even a massive downpour didn't curb any enthusiasm although it did make it somewhat damper ! Sam went to Aireview (first day at "big school"), Maya was in Year 5 and Ev was moving up to Hothfield. So all new, all nervous, and we were even on time... Along with a new school, a new building, new routine, came new faces - in the form of new Head Teacher, new Teacher and new Teaching Assistants.... Very pleased to report that so far we are all coping and Ev has already proved to be a charmer.
More on these new adventures later, but now a quick update of the school holiday's activity. It's a very difficult balancing act - you want to let the kids have the rest and fun that they deserve but there are still stretches, exercises, walking practice and PT to fit in. I think we did ok in the end. We even managed to get a few days away. We had a few days in Tenby, Wales and absolutely loved the beach and St Catherine's Island - followed by a couple of days at Legoland and then some "chillaxing" (not my word).
In terms of actual progress, here are a couple of videos of Evan doing some independent walking. In the first one, set at the clinic, he does a great spot of "correcting" - which is stopping himself from falling. In the second, he is shown walking to the car. We have spent time trying to get him to walk "in the wild" - and this is really coming on. We just need to do lots more of it. Lots, lots more...
...and with that, the 6 weeks were done. Well, back to it...
