Maisie taking a wee rest from playing

It's all go at the moment with Maisie, you can't turn your back for one minute as you don't know where she'll be. Maisie is constantly on the move crawling from room to room to she what is available to destroy. Lucky she's so easy to find with her oxygen tube trailing behind her.

Maisie took the high road and ended up at Loch Lomond to visit Aunty Stella and Uncle Mike for lunch. Maisie as usual ate a lot and decided that while salad was not for her (Daddy's not keen on it either) she did like sweetcorn and raspberries.

full of energy Maisie decided to help Uncle Mike with his work

All Maisie's energy must come from the large amount of food she is eating. Maisie particularly likes all the dinners that Mummy is making with the excellent fresh produce she gets from the farm down the road  http://www.ardrossfarm.co.uk/  (Daddy has thoughts of maybe a little less food for Maisie would lead to a  a little more peace and quiet for him).

Maisie has many photographs taken and is so used to have her picture taken that she now happily poses and smiles for the camera - even when a picture is not being taken.

"what do you mean you're just looking at your phone Uncle Colin -
I'm smiling at you for a reason!" 

Maisie enjoys playing with other children and it is a huge benefit to her development even if she's not quite playing in the same way;

Maisie would rather eat than play games

Maisie had a meeting on Monday at the Child Development Centre with her support team to discuss her needs going forward. It was agreed that Maisie would benefit from more playtime with other children and as there are only a couple of other children in Maisie's group she has been moved up a group where there will be more children.

Maisie enjoys painting......herself! 

It would be wonderful if Maisie was able to go to a local nursery but as winter will soon be upon us there is a large risk to Maisie from infection. The Child Development Centre provides a safe environment.

Daddy and Maisie are very excited about attending the new class but the excitement for Maisie was followed by a little disappointment when she found out that she'll have to wait a fortnight until she can go as Daddy is away fishing with Grand Uncle Carl next week - poor Maisie.  Lucky Daddy!

Where's Maisie? 

There  she is! 

Maisie is looking forward to Thursday as Aunty Rhona is coming to visit  - Daddy's not going to risk upsetting Maisie by telling her that before picking up Aunty Rhona from the train station she has a visit to the Eye Doctor. It should be an interesting visit as the Eye Doctor sent Daddy a message to say that photo's of Maisie's eye's will be published in the British Medical Journal.

Once published Daddy will be able to share them on this blog.
