DLA Granted and Notice Served

Had a few corking bruises, but nothing serious, only one trip to the hospital last Tuesday to check a bad bruise on Elliot's knee, no treatment needed, but it was good to get it looked at as with Haemo you never know (to quote Elliot's Gran "always air on the side of caution")

Tantrums are coming, Elliot is also discovering the awesome power of throwing himself backwards when he is not getting what he wants, I just tell him no, let him cry it out on his own and when he stops (which is quite quickly) I give him all my attention and try to explain to him what's not acceptable. Again we have been pretty busy, Elliot has been learning lots he is so close to walking and talking and he is learning where all his body parts are.He Loves music and dancing and having a good strum on a guitar or hitting a drum which was very apparent on Sunday when we went to see my mum with the band 'The Continentals' at Northgate festival. 

Notice Served and DLA + CA = No money stress

I handed in my notice at the craft barn, 4th August was when it all finished. So now I just devote my time to caring for Elliot, This has all worked out quite well because Elliot was granted Disability Living Allowance and I was granted Careers Allowance so I can still afford to have my car for taking Elliot out and about (great for the many hospital trips).
