A quick update on Pritchin

These were taken today. Oh dear is that really how awful I look ,still managing to avoid lice though .

We have cracked it !

Pritchin couldn't have been on his feet quicker today and the mouth was open straight away.

Not sure how Elizabeth , the Matron feels about me having done this , but she actually came up to me and gave me a ball of the food to give him which I was surprised and relieved about . I am sure she must get a bit fed up at times with all us volunteers with our bright ideas coming in and changing the routine though maybe after this she will see us as less of a threat and more of a help.

He ate the lot quickly so I thought it best  for Elizabeth to feed him so I left the room as after all I am not around all the time.Thankfully she gave him a small amount that he could manage. I think from now on I will hover around but leave Elizabeth to do the job .

This was biscuit time. He actually can't manage to bite it yet but he tried . I will continue to break off wee bits and scrunch them up until he can cope with the lumps .

I have a jigsaw app on my I pad which I have been teaching the children to use . Taking turns is a major issue for these children but even they understand the theat of it being put away so try very hard to control themselves .

The wee girl on the right has only stubs for fingers and found it incredibly difficult to tap the screen but with some help and perseverance the wee soul can just about do it . The smile on her face when she looks up at me speaks volumes and makes all this worthwhile.
