Officially the day he can jump onto the sofa

Support needs discussed

at the social work meeting
lots to over-think!

Second social work meeting, they acknowledge they can't progress overnight respite as quickly as they (we) would like.  So they want to put PA support in for the summer.  We have tried this before and got nowhere.  I asked school to send around another email asking for interest and the good news is that someone, who works with him already, would like to do it.  As it's only one person it's only support to help me out on trips and around the house but she's lovely and Ben already likes her, so it could really enhance our summer.  Plus, if we find a second person they could go out without me and that would be amazing!
So it was a win today.
Also.. the dog realised he has long legs and can easily jump onto the sofa.  I'm slightly worried the kitchen table and worktops are next :-D
