my first week as on octopus

Deqlan's delighted to be back at school and this year as on Octopus!

We are blessed to still have Ayline as his teacher as she is now taking the grade R group!

The first day of school started off with a happy dance and laugh at the gate when seeing Ayline and Ash and then he was off not to worried if mama stayed or left :)

things are stepped up a notch in the octopus class and you need many more hands, i mean tentacles for all the new and exciting tasks! the most exciting being, letterland, right about deqies street :) he loved playing with the porgamme last year, which is based on the alphabet. this year its learning with letterland and focusing on each letter in different ways. learning the sound, how to write the letter in sand and eith pencils and looking for the letter in each others names for example.

deqlans frustration levels started peaking towards the end of last week and got so frustrated at one point he head but ayline and bit another learner :(

we did look at the thought of candida flaring again but it just didnt seem consistent enough for me to say candida was the culprit. nanna also pointed it it could be a sensory issue, as he is also trying to chew on everything he can get in his mouth again

ayline had a breakthrough today, realising what was urking our beautiful boy. he didnt want to focus and finish the task for the morning, so she did it with him when all the kids were finished and guess what- he did it perfectly. the hustle and the bustle of having so many kids around him, making a noise is just to overwhelming and he cant say " stop this is to much" or " to "loud" so it comes out in other ways. she is going to try and do group work with a quieter group tomorow to see if it helps our deqie. he would thrive doing lessons on his own, but thats not always what its going to be like in the real world- so we got to try and help him and modify his environment when we can, to help him continue to learn, which he loves doing!

deqlans sentences are more beautiful and lengthy then ever before- even complicated long requests or stories are so beautifully told- some times words not exactly in the right order but we know exactly what he is talking about - such a blessing

some older friends have left little leaps to start grade 1 at other schools and some new beautiful faces and personalities! including 2 girls :) they are so lovely ;)

heres hoping each day improves for our beautiful boy

sleep tight god bless sweet dreams thanks for your continued prayers for thursdays resultsn thank you lord

love the higgins fam

be still and know that i am god

lord jesus, i trust in you

Logo guru

Our big guy continues to love all things logo and all things slogan! To add a twsit to this flavour of the moment, perhaps flavour of the months to come, he loves to talk about the shops at specific centres. He will ask me to " talking about the shops at centrion mall please Mama" or " talking about the restaurants at ecoboulevard" he is loving looking at their websites and seeing the logos and specials to :)
Another fun webiste to surf is the ster kinekor movie website - deqlan loves watching the trailors and we've had some awesome ones at the moment to enjoy- puss in boots, happy feet 2, alvin and the chipmunks, dolphin tale!
We were delighted to be able to take Deqlan with his Dada on Sunday to watch Puss in boots! Deqlan loved it and we only needed to have 1 break - quick walk around the devd shop and back to the movie :) he was a real chatter box and even stood up infront of the screen saying " hello everybody" "dada eating popcorn, delicious" we had to ask him to talk softer a few times , it was wonderful!
We have really had lovely school holidays and had many adventures to spur, the garden of lights, the smurfs, the movies, the shops,ten pin bowling and hopefully we can fit a gautrain and another spur trip in to :) deqlan goes back to little leaps on monday, I know that he is going to be so happy to be back with his amazing ayline and his buddies and the school routine:)
We have had a few moments of frustration which we could definitely link
To candida or tiredness or food- we have stopped the peanut butter again we think it could be a factor in his frustration levels so becoming more careful with his diet again
We will be going for Deqlans yearly tests this Friday- blood and urine collection and ultrasound. We will see Dr De Jager for the NED results on 26Jan we trust Lord! Please continue the prayers for Deqlans ultrasound to be perfectly normal and clear, for his blood and urine markers to be totally normal and for him to remain NED forever and always Thank You Lord!
Have a great week thank you for all your love and support and prayers for our beautiful Deqlan we appreciate them so much!
God bless all our love
