When it comes to going anywhere with Dylan, we like to be prepared, be it a last minute trip or one which is planned months in advance. We come up with a plan of action so that Dylan will have…
So technically it was not his first day ever at school, that first day was a couple of years ago back when we lived in England, and he had moved up from the nursery to reception class at the local SEN…
DID YOU HEAR THAT? HE’S GOING TO SCHOOL! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY! This is even more exciting than the fact we’re going to Disney World! To catch you up on what has happened since I posted ‘He’s Not Getting The Education He Deserves‘…
