What a difference sleep makes!

I just wanted to write a quick update as William has been a joy to be around the past few days!  Ive never known him so happy and relaxed and just generally in a good mood!  He's been sleeping really well the past 4 nights or so, and that has obviously made a massive difference (to us both!) 

Today when I collected him from nursery he was laying on his tummy over a bean bag with no over extension and was just relaxed and happy.  Even when he smiled he managed to stay relaxed whereas smiling is usually something that triggers off his muscles and makes him arch backwards!  The girls at the nursery said that he has been really good the past few sessions and has really enjoyed himself!

His new favourite things are 2 balloons that are at my Nan's house left over from my Auntie Rhondas 50th (sorry had to drop that in there so she feels old when she reads this!)  the balloons are a bit deflated now so they're just about his eye level when he's laying on the floor and he loves them!  He's been batting them and if they;re put into his hands he grips onto them and waves them about all over the place!  They really make him smile!  We're still staying at my Mums flat while the extensions being done so he's spent a lot of time with my Nan playing with the balloons this week!



We went along to a multi-sensory play session at East preston children and family centre at the weekend and it was really good - it was just for families with children who have additional needs. Kev came too and it was just lovely to spend a few hours playing with William in an environment where everything was suitable for him and we didnt have anything else to do other than entertain him!  They've organised a few for the next couple of months so we'll definately go along to them.
