“Its like a little christmas miracle”

Not to sound too cheesy but that’s exactly how one of Jacks teachers described his sudden change in mood at school last week. He’s stopped crying when I drop him off and even takes his coat off and goes and sits himself down in group time. Apparently he’s joining in with things more, speaking to the other children and just generally a much happier little boy at nursery.

Whats bought about this sudden change? Well a week last friday ago he had the operation to fit bilateral grometts (In both ears in other words)

He went in at 7.30, went to theatre at 10.30, and by 11.30 was sat up in bed eating toast like he was starving! We were home by 2pm and you really wouldn’t have guessed he’d had anything done. He was a star all the way through. Really good. He just sat and watched them while they put the drips into his hands and never flinched apparently. All in all we’re really proud of him.

Since he’s had it done we’ve definately noticed a difference. He’s not saying “Sorry?” every time we say something to him because he’s not heard us. He also responds better to people and seems happier.

We’ll just have to see how much things improve for him, but like Someone else has said, so far its been like our own little christmas miracle!

a new phrase!!!

I think I’m going to have to watch what I say around Jack a lot more now.

We’re having a particularly stroppy morning today. He’s arguing with me and himself about wearing a nappy. (He wants one on and I’m saying no way.) Anyway, he’s just walked over, shut the lid on the potty, smacked the lid and shouted, “For god’s sake!!!”

How do you teach a child who’s speech therapy includes copying what mummy and daddy say, not to copy mummy and daddy? lol

Look at this stud!
