We had to return the trophy he won at the end of last term for "Child we're most proud of". Thomas was so distressed to be awarded this by the mayor that he lost the plot, wouldn't come out of his seat, crying etc, so the poor mayor had to wade through the children and present it to him practically laid on the floor with the photographer in tow!! ... It was a teary moment for us too .... but I was so pleased that he won the award. As that photograph won't really be one for the wall, and the memory of the event has now faded for Thomas, we were able to take one this morning with him holding the trophy proudly, before we returned it. As mentioned previously, Thomas cannot tolerate the school uniform so he wears his own clothes and sometimes the teachers there are able to change him into the school polo shirt. I just don't understand the whole autistic sensory issue - it's a minefield!
Jacob was eager to be at school early to complete his jobs and Charlotte went happily, looking forward to seeing the new friends she made yesterday.
