The three of us went to Wellington Country Park.

It was cold but dry. Nathan loves the train ride, and he got his (first) present from Santa's grotto.

We went to the Thatchers pub with some friends, after a long break. It was most enjoyable, although somewhat chaotic.

Granny came today. It was her birthday yesterday so we made a card and blew up a few balloons. Nathan was very excited to show her what we'd done.

Preschool this morning. Nathan got right to it without even needing a kiss and a hug goodbye.

Then a little nap after lunch and a trip to the swimming pool with a friend.

Nathan had a go re-lacing his shoelaces. See the result.

We popped in to see the psychiatrist. Her recommendation was
"At meals when Nathan is with one of you, offer him a tiny portion of what you are having - either on the same plate or separetely.
Praise him for having (not necessarily eating) the same food as you"
She was also happy with Nathan's general progress.

Then onto Hickory Dickory Dock for the last half hour. Afterwards we went into Maidenhead for some lunch. We gave Nathan a plate of salad and he ate some of it. Mostly celery and lettuce, but he was interested in the rest of it, which is a good sign.

Tue 27th November
Day 1175
3Y 2M 20D

Preschool again today. Nathan was determined he wouldn't cry and he didn't, in fact he enjoyed it!

Later we went to Whoosh. Nathan can now climb over pretty much every obstacle and he's very proud of it.

At Whoosh Nathan was heard to say "You have, he has". Just declining his verbs.
