Eli has learnt some new tricks. A few days ago he suddenly started blowing, going pfft, pfft, and now he can make a sound with a recorder. He can feel his birthday coming and on is getting ready to blow out the candles. Eli is entirely different to Grace in this sense due to her oral dyspraxia. Grace was only blowing things when she was about 2, and it was a major achievement when she did blow out her candles at her second birthday party (using a straw for assistance).

His other new trick was to sign “all done” at lunch today.

Grace had a baking need today, so it was banana muffins first thing in the morning followed by ginger biscuits in the afternoon.
