The Chronicles of Elin (Part Three)

Elin is continuing to have an amazing Summer holiday and has even seen the sun a little! A bit more of a low-key week really but still pretty busy and lots of fun. Keep it to yourself, but Elin has been on a DATE!!!!
Yes, she had a hot date at the Zoo with her boyfriend from school, Llew!!!  Since Llew had his cousin staying with him and we had Elin's nephew young Arthur staying with us, we thought a group day out might be just the ticket. Llew's Mummy and Daddy also take advantage of having yearly zoo membership so I'm sure there will be plenty of dates in the future! We had a wonderful day despite pretty torrential rain. Elin was BRILLIANT in her chair and we were so proud of her. Our fingers were wrinkly when we got home, like when you've been in the bath! 
 Elin loved the smell of the Monkey's this time!! 
Good looking on the boat ride!! Well done, Elin!

So even though we got soaked at the zoo, there have been some sunny days for Elin too! She has been chilling in the garden, visiting Ty Mawr Country Park and having a go on the park in the village which has disabled access :-) 
Elin loves being out in our beautiful garden (thanks Daddy Drake!) and I love it when she loves it because I get to read a book in the sunshine :-) 
You might have noticed a distinct lack of Caitlin lately! That's because she has had more holidays than Judith Chalmers this Summer! Elin has missed her loads and this was the day they were reunited after two weeks. Absolutely gorgeous!!! 


As well as all of this fun, Elin has been given an amazing new SEN toy by someone who didn't want it anymore. It's a special soundboard and plays various different sounds (hundreds in fact) when you press the buttons. We are still getting to grips with it, it can also record voice messages to play via the buttons, but so far Elin loves it! I'm glad someone was kind enough to give it to us because at almost £800 we never would have been able to afford it (I won't start!!) 

Elin has also been demonstrating some excellent standing this holiday. Well done, Elin!!! Hope all you lovely blog readers are having as good a holiday as Elin is. We've just ordered a new bag for school- is it that time already??? 
xxxxxxxx
