Another great watch... love these shows the ABC is putting on. 

Our miss 5 got the Academic Excellence Award last night at her schools award night. Mainstream school, no special support apart from her wonderful teacher.:-)

Sadly, the school has had a huge increase in numbers for prep next year, no combined prep/year 1) so she will have to progress to a new teacher and grade 1.

that is fantastic... I am sure with the great start she has had it will make the next year so much easier.. 

Thanks meep too, we are quietly confident, lol.

This is a bit f light humour but some things are so true.

This is a Facebook link.. Patchoo kindly sent me the link and it honestly made me cry... 

It also made me think about how this kid maybe should have been allowed to play a lot earlier as he obviously has the talent. 

Our kids should no longer be left on the sideline of life..

Don't know if anyone is interested in this article about Fragile X/Autism research.

Hi there, I haven't been on here for a very long time and it's good to see a few familiar names.

Cheers for now

Got my sons school report last week... 

lots of C's... a D or two and an E... he got the E for Agriculture... He didn't even hand in his assignment, He told me he didn't want to be a farmer so why do the work.. How can I argue with that.
