Holy Moly. I feel like there should be some trumpets playing and a chorus of Hallelujah ringing out from our lounge.
Today Zack sat independently all on his own for a good couple of minutes.
I had him sat in between my legs, with him cross legged. He had his hand down steadying himself and then I just moved away thinking he'll just fall to the side. No. He stayed sat there. I tapped his hand (secret code to get him to lift his head up). Up came his head and still he sat. Eventually he tumbled over to the side but flippin heck that was amazing.
That's it now we shall be practicing more sitting. So round of applause for the Pants on reaching this huge, milestone.
In fact today he has been in a brilliant mood and found me to be hilarious. God knows why I was so funny today or why he was in such a good mood. Who cares, today was a very good day indeed.
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.
