A possible sleep solution?

Monday morning was met with a very tired Boy Wonder who had finally fallen to sleeping the early hours with a tonne of books on his bed! I woke him and bleary eyed he got up and shuffled into the shower where he fell back to sleep, curled into a ball.

Once awake and dried and dressed we came downstairs for breakfast. Cat Girl was also feeling a little grumpy but they both started to come round at the mention of pancakes for breakfast. The window cleaner was here this morning so caused some excitement as they chased him round the house, window to window! Boy Wonder was also very excited about taking the footballs to school.

We arrived at school and spoke to the teacher about bringing in the balls when I dropped the children off. Boy Wonder then went into class happily knowing that this had been sorted. Cat Girl skipped into her classroom, a lot happier than she was earlier.

I made a potentially very exciting purchase today! A weighted blanket for Boy Wonder. The Occupational Therapist had sent through the guidance and where I could get one from. There are so many things to consider with the weighted blanket that I didn't want to just wing it. Anyway watch this space to see how we get on! We are hoping that it will help to get him to sleep, replacing firm hold technique which is quite invasive for a growing boy.

Boy Wonder had football after school and won Man of the Match for excellent defending. He was very pleased. Cat Girl went to after school club and later went swimming. She is coming on well.

Boy Wonder's second football training is now moving to a Thursday so another discussion needs to be had about his after school routine. Was hoping that everything was settled now!

This evening they both settled down to watch Minecraft and then did some reading before going to sleep. Cat Girl fell to sleep quickly, Boy Wonder is still reading.
