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)

Family Holiday

Last Month we had the opportunity to have a family holiday for three weeks. We were granted a week away in Forster NSW at Ronald McDonald holiday accommodation. The accommodation is provided at no cost to families that live with a child with a life limiting condition. We appreciated this opportunity so much and decided since the trip to Forster would be a round drive of 1600kms that we would add an extra 2 weeks on and an extra 3400kms so we could see friends family and snow.
Our concerns were that Lachlan may get sick or not handle the amount of driving. However he did brilliantly and we once again realise you must take all opportunities when they are there.
Hope you enjoy the photos
