Today, Pádraig dropped the ball, literally.

We used to but now do it far too seldom: check out and work with Pádraig’s hand movements.  So Pat came up with this brilliant exercise, which let’s Pádraig hold a ball until she asked him to drop it. What I’m taking away from this is that ‘dropping the ball’ is not half as bad as the experts are sometimes trying to tell you.

Pádraig was great today. There is no doubt in my mind that soon, he’ll be able to say things we’ll understand. He can say  a very clear ‘aaaaa”, when we ask him to say it.

We’re in Tating tonight because we’ll be visiting a place about an hour’s drive away from here, were people with injuries like Padraig’s live, and receive support and therapy.

Tonight, I’m still tired – too tired to write anything more consistent or coherent. So – good night to you, I’ll talk to you a little longer tomorrow evening!
