Its been a few weeks but Amy & Kirsty are back with a roundup from the half term break.

Kirsty has been flying solo whilst the hubby has been away and talks about the benefits that has actually had on Max and his routine in many ways.

Alex has been attempting to discuss his emotions and ask for more things this half term. But with the start of communication has been the outbursts of frustration which have been challenging for Amy.

And of course it wouldn't be a school holiday without another balloon incident.
