My boy

Marley was really sweet today.

He gave his brothers a good morning hug.

Tonight at dinner when Harper bit his tongue he wrapped his arms around him and said ' oh honey!!'

He made dinner tonight. Almost completely by himself. When I said I was making pizza he said 'I can make dinner mum,I can do it by myself'

He went to the kitchen where I had got everything out for dinner and with help to open packets he spread the sauce on the bases, followed by salami ( a lot on one pizza) then he grated cheese and topped. He sort of threw them in the oven scared he'd get hurt.

When they were ready we discussed how many slices we would each like. We added it up, then I drew on our fridge 3 circles. Through teaching him halves and quarters we figured out how to cut the pizzas to get the right amount of slices.

After cutting them he served them up and took the plates to the table. He was very proud of himself as were we.

After talking about our day he went off to get pjs on and get into bed to build Lego.

I went to see him at lunch today where he held my hand, walked around with me a bit and kept waving as I left once he found his friend.

There was apparently an incident yesterday where he was calling a boy names at lunch, teasing him. The mother of the boy wrote a note to the teacher. Marley said he didn't call him names but called to him to run that he was his friend. Mars teacher and the boys teacher aren't bothered by it or doing anything about it because no one was there to see it but they know for sure that Marley doesn't have the ability to be intentionally malicious, his social skills are so behind they know for sure he couldn't and wouldn't purposely upset him.

So they said he could have copied a boy or just been saying funny things like he does to his friend in class and it just upset the boy, they don't know. When I went to see him today he was playing with the boy who I know once mar pointed him out is a bit of trouble maker. They'll keep an eye out but I know its not in mars nature to do that sort of thing. His teacher was extremely supportive and was taking his side.

She gets him and the school knows his capabilities so it was reassuring to me that he was being supported. They weren't going to make him apologise just a wee chat about talking nicely. I didn't want to come down on him for something he might not have done or done without knowing.


He said wistfully this morning as we walked with an umbrella that ' I don't want to fly away because I want to stay with my family. I don't want my family to leave me' I think he was worried he'd get blown into the sky!

So its been a very thoughtful, helpful , loving day for my beautiful boy.

Apologies its been a while we've had A LOT on and blipping has just not even come into my headspace. Will try be more on to it.
