The school run a holiday club for three weeks of the summer holidays, which we try and book him into for one day a week, as it is run by the people he knows from the school so they find suitable activities for him. He really loves that.xLynsey Summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026494707946270279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285764348871241345.post-3354728387455967172013-02-04T16:06:21.653+00:002013-02-04T16:06:21.653+00:00Yes the warmer weather can not come soon enough, w...Yes the warmer weather can not come soon enough, we should have plenty to keep him out and about this year :-)xLynsey Summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026494707946270279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285764348871241345.post-28810453559599114282013-02-03T16:44:11.723+00:002013-02-03T16:44:11.723+00:00What a blow when you were denied the extra support...What a blow when you were denied the extra support.... but now so wonderful that you have the bike accessories and you can get about the zoo!

The bit about the bicycle bought a tear to my eye. Am so happy for him that he'll have his bike. Here's to a great spring and summer for you all - lots to look forward to. xxxPlumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038269271986456067noreply@blogger.com
