Looking forward to summer holidays !

Well mornings in our house are always like treading on eggshells !!
Desperately hoping the boys dont kick off against each other for anything otherwise its game over.

Very very tired now as end of term, lots of things going on. Despite going to bed at 8 and getting up at 8 they are still very tired. 

Ben this morning tried on about 8 polo shirts and couldnt wear any of them. Seems to have become sensitive to the material so I had to dash off to supermarket this morning in the hope they would have some school shirts - thankfully they did.  After finding a vest in the bottom of a wardrobe (because he didnt want his belly showing through the shirt) we finally got to school.  The things we have to do !!

Had their new school induction day yesterday mixed feelings from both of them I think. As with all the kids at the moment sad about leaving primary but quite excited at the prospect of big school. For the boys though its twice as difficult as they have their tourettes to manage and they have none of their friends from primary going to the new school.  I really feel for them but we are convinced its the right school for them.

Joe is so worried that he will lose all his current friends and that they wont want to see him any more. He cried twice while he was there yesterday - poor kid. 
Not only does the tourettes affect them directly with the physical side of it, but indirectly too, having to go to a different school, having a specialist talk to the whole of year 7 about their condition which they understand is necessary but it cant be nice knowing someone is telling a whole load of people about your problems, problems you just wish would go away !

To top it all Bens best friend is moving to Australia in the summer, a very emotional time for us all I think :(

Joe asked this morning if his friends could sleep over on the last day of the term in the big tent in the garden. Lets hope the weather is good so they can do that. Would be a nice end to the term, and remind him that his friends live close by and providing he works hard, he will keep those friends.
