Update on Scarring

We had an appointment with the OT team at Middlemore today and they are very impressed with how well Zack's scar is doing. It feels soft and not so dry to touch and it doesn't seem to be raised at all now. We have another appointment in two months just to check up on it. We still need to watch it and go back to see them if it becomes raised at any stage. For now, we just have to keep positive about it. They said that when we talk about it (within Zack's hearing) we should talk about it in a positive light and we people ask about it we should tell them with positive words as they will be the words he uses to talk about it. He seems pretty confident with it anyway, happy to show it to people and point it out. He seems more of a show off about the bite on the other hand that he got from Jack though, even though you can only JUST see the scar which I am sure will disappear in a few weeks.

After our appointment we went to the book store to buy a new bedtime book for Zack "The little Yellow digger goes to the Zoo". In the book shop, he noticed some chocolate bars (right at his height) and grabbed 5 of them saying "chocolate chocolate chocolate" he was sooooo excited. It took me a while to pry them from his talons, but I did it! What a tantrum he threw, lying on the floor arms and legs going (ha ha ha ha) it lasted about 30 seconds before he completely forgotten about it but right then I thought to myself....my baby is slowly reaching the "terrible twos". Oooh the fun I have to look forward to. And those poor chocolate bars, if it weren't for the cadbury wrapper you wouldn't have known what they were, I considered purchasing them due to the state that they were in but then I figured...if they leave them at that height, that's obviously what they are expecting to happen so its their own fault (Paaaah ha ha ha). Ok I feel a little bad, but I really dont need to force chocolate bars on myself at the moment!

Tomorrow night we are hoping to go to the Lantern Festival at Albert Park, although the weather isn't looking to crash hot *fingers crossed*.

Back later

Jannine, I have finally had time to sit down and read your blog. It is fab, I have really enjoyed reading it. I will definitely be a regular now. Zack is so cute. Ella really enjoyed having him at her party. Well done with the potty training. Ella is also fully trained now. It does make things easier. Hope to catch up soon. Megan
