ARGH... we thought we had it, we really did... But despite being involved in the planning and prep, despite having it said to him over and over... because the Birthday Treasure Hunt was held on Caitlin's birthday weekend, Logan has gotten it into his head that it was her party and he's not allowed one. … Continue reading Confusion: Logan and birthdays

Triggers: small and misread
Caitlin was at craft club at our Gym. She fell over, and bumped her head. They checked her over and saw she was ok, physcially, but they aren't aware of the mental implications. Caitlin withdraws in times of anxious-ness, so instead of crying and showing she's hurt or worried, instead of saying she needed to … Continue reading Triggers: small and misread
Gate crashing!
Nanna and Grandad had booked a caravan just outside of Saundersfoot, well, I say "booked a caravan" I actually mean, arranged to stay in a friend's caravan. I will not link the place here, because frankly it was horrific; it was a wet week, but it was less damp outside of the caravan. Anyhow, we … Continue reading Gate crashing!
Review: Blue Lagoon Waterpark Wales
Being a swimming pool, I can't really do much in the way of photography here... and being a very wet day, most photographs were akin to the featured image here, for the "outside" picture. But I can certainly let my words build the imagery, and the web page for the pool has 360 views anyhow. … Continue reading Review: Blue Lagoon Waterpark Wales
Review: The Dinosaur Park
Whilst gate crashing Nanna and Grandad's holiday in Saundersfoot, we visited the Dinsosaur Park, near Tenby. It was on a main route and easy to get to by car, although the sat nav indicated I should enter through a field rather than the actual entrance, which crept up on me on a fast road, so … Continue reading Review: The Dinosaur Park
A day trip to London
Sometimes, I wake up with this urge... I'm not sure if anyone else gets it, I'd be interested to know if people do to be honest. But basically, it's like an itch, I can't physically scratch it I can only relieve it by succombing to its desire; the desire to escape and explore. I woke … Continue reading A day trip to London
Review: The Tate
After arriving into London by train, we took the tube to Blackfriars. It's a 5 minute walk to the Millenium Bridge to the Tate, which in my opinion added to the excitement and magic of the trip. We initially got a bit confused between the two towers and where to take the lift from for … Continue reading Review: The Tate
Seasons Greetings
Dearest friends, family and followers... On the surface it appears I have abandoned this idea of blogging, but let me assure you, in the background many things have been happening. Right now I have 15+ posts pending pictures/proof reading and so forth. You see, the final quarter of the year is a very stressful and … Continue reading Seasons Greetings
Hoop Jumping: Endurance and pitfalls
Things have been intense here, hence silence… but it’s because of an appointment that was sprung on us. One we have been waiting for, but was arranged quite last minute. So we left our house at 7:30 in the morning to go to a private clinic (90 minutes away from our house) for a … Continue reading Hoop Jumping: Endurance and pitfalls
Settling Developments part 2
Continuation of part 1 For Logan, things have been slightly more complicated, he was 6 by the time he came to live with us. By this time, he had been through so much with birth family, foster family, school and various professionals that he had learned that adults aren’t trustworthy. That’s how his brain has … Continue reading Settling Developments part 2
