Trainspotting

Riley loves trains so when the model train show came to town, we took him twice and it was a mission getting him to leave each time. But don't fear Riley, we have dvd coverage for you as well!

And before you ask, NO, Jemma still does not choose to walk. She can walk a long way holding your hand, but confidence building can take time... just like a good wine.

Riley had an assessment last week and he is doing well. He has a high IQ and the most pleasing information is that his comprehension and auditory short term memory are average which is good for someone on the spectrum, so still onwards and upwards.

Jemma is learning to be a baby sister very well. She can now hit Riley and then ham up her reaction to being hit. We are sort of proud of her wily ways. And Riley being the typical Aspergers doesn't lie. "Did you hit Jemma?" "yes". Hopefully he will work out to tell us that she hits him back.

Yes, we have hair growth on Jemma as well. By Summer, we may even have to consider a haircut.... okay it is not even winter yet...but planning ahead.
