So after last weeks manic ruddy Monday, I decided that today couldn’t possibly be any worse. I mean, it just couldn’t, could it! Thats right positive mental attitude all the way today, baby!!
Anyway, during Charlie and Lola I told Burton that we needed to get his socks, shoes and coat on as it was almost time to set off for Ladybirds.
“Me not like ladybirds Mummy. Me not want to go. Me stay here with you and baby Jenson”
Hmmm thought I.
“Don’t be silly, of course you like Ladybirds. You always end up having a lovely time don’t you?”
He shakes his head
I start to put his socks on.
He pulls his foot away
“Come on we have to go soon”. I try again
“Me not want to go.”
Then tears.
Anyway, Daddy decided to take Burton this morning – a last minute decision but despite me being a bit put out and upset initially, I realised that maybe it would be a good thing. He was crying when he left and daddy said that he cried when he was left there, but as he left the Gruffalo was being read out which made him smile as Burton LOVES all things Gruffalo related at the moment.
When I went to collect him I had a wonderful hug and some kisses and he was happy. The staff said that this week he had settled down quickly and didn’t cry again all morning. They say that they see a marked improvement in him each week, so that brilliant news. He also went outside today which is the best news because he loves playing outside normally, and they have great facilities at Ladybirds in their outside area.
His report from today reads as follows:
Burton settled within a few minutes today as soon as he joined the children to listen to the Gruffalo.
He has had lots of fun playing outside today – he went on the see-saw and climbed on the pirate ship.
Burton also enjoyed playing with the parachute with his friends – bouncing the ball and running under it.
He even tried some thai green chicken curry at lunchtime!!
He was very happy to be going home but he was also saying how much he likes ladybirds!! Fickle boy!

| excited to be going home and “me like ladybirds” |
Daddy decided to get some proof that he does actually like ladybirds to play back to him next Monday morning him he starts to get upset and tell us he doesn’t like it, and here it is (he is putting on the silly voice, he doesn’t normally speak in this way!)
