Catherine Lacey: BoyStory

How far you'll go

My mind is buzzing from a full morning's IEP, Individual Education Plan, for Reuben and about 100 pages of information on his development, goals and eligible services. Callum is suffering a bit from constipation so the left shot is him having a tummy massage and leg lifts and the right him stretching high for a book. How far will those feet take you Callum, to what great heights, Reuben?

It's interesting to look down at your own feet at times and think about how far they've taken you, and what they've carried: as a birth mother, 20, 30, 40 extra pounds?

PS A couple of hot baths this afternoon have made a big difference to Callum. He's an extraordinarily healthy boy otherwise and other than 2 colds in 18m this has been his only challenge. That, and having Reuben sit on his head ;-)
