This week our word of the week is form as I have had to fill in a very important form this week.
With Ethan’s fifth birthday looming it’s time for the DLA to review Ethan’s progress. This means we get sent a form with over 40 questions to answer. Questions that ask us to describe the worst side of our son. It isn’t a place to celebrate any good progress that Ethan has made.
It is a very draining task. Because of this, it is something that needs to be picked up and put down. So this week any spare moment I have had has involved filling in this dreaded form. It still isn’t complete and will take some time yet!
It hasn’t been all about form filling thankfully. On Monday we ventured back towards London and visited a friend who I haven’t seen for more years than I care to remember. We had a great catch up and she got to have cuddles with Little E. I really hope we don’t leave so long between our next visit. Little E also experienced the Dartford Toll for the first time. She got to go over the bridge on the way there. And through the dark tunnel on the way back.
We also had some family fun. We took Ethan to Tenpin Bowling yesterday. He had seen it on Mr. Tumble and we have been wondering if he would like it for a birthday get-together. He really enjoyed it and he kept us on our toes including nearly running down one of the other lanes!
A very mixed week of emotions this week, I wonder what next week will bring!
That form sounds very daunting and draining. I think I’d pick it up and out it down like that, too, too much for all in one sitting. Glad you had fun elsewhere, though, and you’ve reminded me to try bowling with my two again, thanks x Thanks for sharing with #WotW
It really is. I really hope when they reply we don’t have to fill it in again for a few more years x
It sounds like a lovely week apart from the horrible form! Good luck with it x
Thank you, the form is a bit of a nightmare x
Fab, glad you had fun with bowling! I know the pain of the forms… it will be worth it though xx
I hope so, I have seen lots of people having trouble with their awards. I will be counting down the days until we get an answer x
Ugh I hate that form. I find it best to fill it in a little at a time too other wise you go bog eyed with it. Concentrating on the “worst” bits of our kids is never nice.
Good that he enjoyed the bowling! My son loves it 😀
It is horrible, if I was a drinker a bottle of wine would have been opened ;0) x
