Is it just me or does anybody else think paying £30.00 for kids shoes is a lot of money. I wont even pay that much for myself.
Recently Matthew was seen by a physiotherapist for an assessment into whether or not he had dyspraxia. He hasn't, but he is very flat footed and has very low muscle tone, which is why he finds balancing and large motor things hard. As a result of this assessment, he was measured for shoe inserts and has recently got them. His current shoes were too uncomfortable with them in, so off we went last night to Clarks to get some new ones. You can tell they're expensive, as there are no prices on the shoes. He was measured and fitted. He has the inserts in and says there very comfy so I don't mind paying for them really, its just a lot of money for shoes that will be ruined in a few weeks.
Whilst out I bought Heather a doctors set, she loves it and has been playing doctors ever since. Her doll baby Bella has been having lots of needles in her bum. The rest of us have had our fair share of things prodding and poking us.
I have been trying to find activities for Matthew after school but it's not been easy. On Wednesdays he stays bedind in school for cookery and gardening club and he really enjoys it. We tried Karate but Matthew didnt like it so now on Monday night he goes to his first Beavers session and so far is really looking forward to it. Lets hope he stays.
