Starman

Following the fencing thing I talked to Tom about how his meningitis had made it a little harder for him to learn physical things and why he probably got more tired more quickly than his friends.

He seemed to absorb this. We've been waiting to see what happens next... and be in a good position to support him as he works out what it means.

At this point his mates get in to parkour of course. Jumping onto walls, bouncing around like loons.

It's no fun to hear your son call himself a 'loser'.

He's not.

He's the Starman
