Ok so this is a post I had to take time to think about before posting. Be warned it is not pretty.
So potty training came to a screeching halt at the end of last week. Why? Not becuase he was not physically ready for it. But becuase his anxiety over using the potty and toilet were coming out in physical symptoms. He was back to having night terrors and IBS. Suddenly we went back to the nappies and all was back to normal almost instantly. So we will wait a while and try again.
Now most of you know already I have a craft business. So to help Thomas out with Therapy items I have created the Puzzling range. A range of items using puzzle piece fabric from bags to key chains to T-shirts for adults and children.
Well after our weekend out it became apparent about what was needed sooner rather than later. It is a specialty item called a Maclaren Major Elite. A special stroller designer for older and taller children with special needs who can't walk all day (or in our case melts down in public and either trows himself on the ground or does a runner.). They don't come cheaply and even the hood is an optional extra!! Yes just about every thing that would come with a regular stroller is an optional extra, like the basket, the hood the foot warmer and rain cover ect. WOW just wow.
So with a hood, basket, lateral supports, rain cover and the stroller the grand total is = $970!! There is a wow for you.
The stroller we brought for our Sydney trip earlier this year is now too small for him. As he is nearly 100 cms tall his feet drag on the ground or he rests them on the wheels. It can be fun times going out.
So this is what we are working towards. Yes it is a big ticket item. But a needed one. So this is what Fluffy Changes and Raising Thomas's Puzzling new range is working towards for now.
