This isn't my blog, it's Zack's. Zack arrived here seven weeks early, he had no heartbeat and wasn't breathing. He suffered catastrophic damage to his brain, he has cerebral palsy, problems with his hearing, vision and feeding. Our lives are both challenging and extraordinary. He is a gift. I hope that for whatever reason you find yourself reading this blog it can go some way to help those in the same situation and some way to remove the cloak that covers parenting a child with disabilities.

He now knows the word clap
Zack's got a new game. Clapping. Well, getting me to clap for him.
It started as a slight distraction whilst he was sat in his sunbeam chair. I clapped in front of him and all of sudden he lifted his arms up really straight so he could feel by hands between his and then when I clapped his arms moved two.
This resulted in a very excited smile and tongue stick out combination, along with nearly lifting himself out of the chair.
He now knows the word clap and if I put my hand out flat and clap once or twice he puts his hand in ready for furious clapping.
He's still not bored of it. Funny how he can pick things up very quickly. Think I might see what else I can teach him whilst he is sat in his chair.
