A Day of Breakthrough

Posted by mumfirst, 17/11/2007, 12:04 PM

Today has been a glorious day so far. Byron played brilliantly at soccer this morning. By that I mean he participated. He participated for the whole hour only popping off to get some water. He looked liked he had a great time out there. We thought last week would end much the same as it had the previous weeks. He refused to go on for the first half of soccer until this lovely chap played some ball activities with him on the sideline, eventually coaxing him out to participate with the other kids wherein he scored a goal – a mini breakthrough.

It seems that same chap was coaching the littlies this week due to the normal coach being away. I’m not sure if Byron just felt more comfortable with the coach of the week but whatever it was, I'm just so happy he gave it a go. Fingers crossed he has adopted more of a 'can do' attitude to soccer.

In other splendid news...THE LOT HAS BEEN ‘CUT’!!!!!!!!!!

It was the most magical thing to see (especially in pouring rain). As I drove there today I thought for sure nothing would be different. I was so over the moon to see something had been done. I am so relieved things are finally starting albeit at a snail's pace. Can you believe it is raining again here today? I just can’t get over this weather. I wonder if we will have some plumbing next Saturday...hmmmm.
