All change again!

It never ceases to surprise me how different the days can be, one or two days down, then up again as if the previous ones never happened! I woke up feeling totally different today and full of optimism that things ARE moving forward, at snails pace, yes, but still moving forward. Luckily Pete seemed to wake up in the same frame of mind and we are back in sync again. Phew, thank goodness for that. Unfortunately, Suzanne was unable to make it today and had to cancel, but she is coming tomorrow instead. For the first time, I won't be here for his session but that is ok she said (I am off for another gossip over a cup of coffee with another one of the girls from work - not that I am one for gossip you understand!!!).
So, after she cancelled, I went to do some shopping and left Pete to do dishes, washing and drying clothes, and he also sorted the fridge. By lunchtime the sun had come out and it was a lovely day and quite warm in the sun. After lunch (and a phone call from a mate to up- date me on everything) we ventured out in the garden. I was handed the compost box and steered outside!! After emptying the compost onto the heap we went into the greenhouse - the first time he has been back into it. There is (or was) a horrible huge cactus in there that I was hoping was going to stay there, but no, it had to come inside for the winter! Then I had to get rid of peppers that had finished and eventually he was satisfied it was all sorted for the winter. So, a good job done.
Pete has spent a lot of time today practising his writing of the alphabet and tonight we tried numbers - I was surprised to find that, with the exception of a couple of them, he knew most of numbers 1 to 10, and then told him 11 and he was away with the rest. Good news. Not everything is gone!!
A friend has suggested we try playing old hits from our younger years, the sort we used to sing along to, and hopefully he may just say the odd word, this is definately worth a try and may be on the agenda for tomorrow! It won't be the Beatles as he used to be a fan of the bad boys - the Rolling Stones!! But there are a lot of records (cd's now) that we have that may work
Ella arrived tonight to tell us she has planted a tree today, and has a certificate to say so! It was an oak tree so hopefully will survive for many years and generations. Photo today of two crazy kids!!
