When did we last have our boiler checked?

Nope that wasn't a question from hubby to myself, or vica versa. It was infact the topic of conversation initiated by G during Sunday lunch this weekend!
I'm sure sometimes that she is four going on forty....

She also declared during one of our numerous car journeys that when people fall out they should just say sorry at exactly the same time and go back to being friends.
When did she get so grown up? So wise? So anxious about the state of our boiler!!
When she needs or wants something, such as a new car seat, she asks if we'll have enough money left over from daddy's wages. Even offering to use her own money. When did she become so thoughtful?

Often we forget that our mini babes are like sponges, they soak up everything around them. The good, the bad, and the rest.

I THINK I'D RATHER STAY AT HOME WITH YOU AND H TODAY....
Oh babe, school doesn't work like that, you can't just pick and choose!
Four weeks in and she's loving school. But she's shattered. She's caught every germ going, doesn't have the greatest attendance rate already and has even had a brief stint in hospital. It sure is knocking the stuffing out of her.

CONFERENCE TIME!!
It's nearly upon us, the annual visit to the best gig in town-the annual Turner Syndrome Support Society conference. I know I say it every year, but it's the one place I (as a TS mum) feel truly at home. We are looking forward to an action packed couple of days, though perhaps not so much looking forward to hours and hours on the M6 with a young baby.

APPOINTMENT UPDATE
So the eagerly awaited endocrine appointment to asses the impact of her growth hormone was, wait for it, cancelled. Hmm. Can't be helped I guess! Now to chase up a replacement appointment.

Physiotherapy was more successful-firstly it wasn't  cancelled, and secondly she doesn't need physio!! Her initial assessment led to some rather surprising results: no balance or coordination issues, good muscle tone, surprising physical strength and good body control. Who'd have thought? She's the clumsiest child going!

Tomorrow sees G attend an hour long occupational therapy assessment. A number of issues to be explored include:
Taste and texture, sensitivity to noise, sensitity to clothing and labels, fine motor skills, mini obsessions, need for routine.... the list is endless, and may amount to something, or nothing.

As always we are so blessed with the care we get from the NHS. Recently I saw a US Turner syndrome post regarding the cost of growth hormone in the US... nearly 26,000 dollars for ten months worth of hormone. MAN ALIVE how lucky we are to get the ESSENTIALS for our girls on the NHS. 

And on that note it's time for me and H to run-G's harvest festival service commences in 30 minutes and I'm a total stress head when it comes to school mum related activities (primarily getting there on time and parking!).
