Wayhey, it’s only been a week and I’m posting!!! Go me!!!
Forgot to mention in last post that we were supposed to be doing Catapult Craft at Riverside on the 31st May, but it got cancelled! However, as Callum had his mate Callum D over anyway we decided to still go there for a play and a wander. It was a lovely day and the boys had fun exploring.
Callum D stayed overnight (my Cs first sleepover) and they had the whole following day to play on the Wii, the computer and upstairs with the cars and tanks.

We also had dentist that week too and we both passed with flying colours; neither of us needed anything done again!
This week has flown by and I’m having to check my diary to see what we’ve been doing. Weather changed too, so have been ‘forced’ more indoors, so still have loads of plants to get into the garden including Callum’s strawberries which are fruiting (and very yummy they are too).
Monday we had one of my friends over who I haven’t seen for ages, so Callum just concentrated on his Maths and his English sheets that he has to do daily (only thing I force him to do) and then he was back on computer playing his latest obsession Roblox. Don’t mind him playing as he has to type things into it and so has to ask for spellings. I always make him spell it first and then correct anything that he’s got wrong which is becoming less and less nowadays! Finally think we are getting somewhere with Literacy, him reading every night helps enormously.
Tuesday we went off to Splashes Leisure pool in the afternoon to meet up with another friend we haven’t seen for ages. That was lovely as the boys being both over 8 could go in the pool by themselves while we could sit by the side and drink tea!!! Callum had a great time. What made it even better was that the centre actually put on the wave machine and all the fountains plus had the slide open, so there was lots to entertain them both and the Russian student that was with them. 3 hours later they looked like prunes and we were tea drunk! The only downside is that it is so hot in there; I always end up with a headache.
Wednesday we had a private trampolining lesson in the morning which Callum worked really really hard at! He’s now easily flipping himself over by himself, but just hasn’t managed to get to feet. However, the combi moves are coming along really well. Only another 3 lessons to go before James goes off to Australia, so I’m really hoping that he can get something else ticked off if not achieve one of the badges.
We spent the afternoon getting all the projects together and looking for the work that needs to go in them. Unfortunately it looks like we’ve lost some!! Aaaargh!! However, I know that we may have some on the old computer not printed off, so am hoping that it’ll be on the dongle we have and we can upload it and print it off.

Callum's new peg man - this one has arms!!!Thursday we completed all the odd bits of paper that we found on Wednesday. Inputting the questionnaire results, answering question sheets and completing quiz papers. We are now officially up to date with projects, but still have loads more to do. Running out of time, so will have to complete what we can and finish the rest off another time.
The evening was MAGIC at Monkey Bizz. Haven’t been for months so was nice to go along and let the boys let off a bit of steam. The two Callums had a great time charging about and I sat and read, until I got ‘booked’ to give a home education talk at one of the coffee mornings in September. Eek, must prepare, must prepare!
And so to today: spent the afternoon at Riverside, in the rain dodging showers, with a lady I’ve never met before, Donna, and her Asperger son Elliot. The boys appeared to get along fantastic and had the play area virtually to themselves the whole time we were there due to the weather. We, of course, sat and drank tea and put the world to rights – haha.
This weekend is Callum’s birthday!
