Where does Lachlan go?

Lachlan 's needs would be classified as high care. He  is high care because intellectually and physically he can't look after himself. However he is very much a part of everyday life and goes where we go. He participates in life. And actually having a non verbal child who never argues about eating his vegies or getting in the car or bedtime in lots of ways makes him both extremely lovable and easy to care for. Enjoy these photos.

It has been ages since I have updated Lachlan blog. He is still a happy little chap coming up to five now. As a family we have had a very busy 12 months with many changes. New house new jobs new schools. I was prompted to write so I could post this link. A Fellow mother with a little girl has written this and hopefully articles like this can help all parents with children facing life limiting conditions.

Things I like

Information on People first Language. A person with disabilities is foremost a person. They should always be described as a person with a condition not as the condition. For example Lachlan has trisomy18. We don't have trisomy children, we have children with a trisomy. Check out this helpful chart:

Playing

What I like to do and how I move

I love my hanging toys

I am lifting both my legs and bottom into the air when I lay(sometimes it is not good to be to close as I sometimes let one off in this position)

Spending more and more time on my tummy instead of just going for the roll (video about a minute long)
