Sunday lunch and a breakthrough!

We had a lovely hang around at home, dig the garden, bake cakes, hang out washing, build Lego and do some watercolour painting kind of day.

Just lovely.

Friends came by in the afternoon for cake (date slices, yum! warm from the oven, double yum!) and Frank learnt to shell peas.

We had an amazing chunk of Stilton with our lunch and I treated us all to some organic grapes to go with it all (and nearly had to sell a kidney to afford them!).

One of our many dinosaurs joined us at the table.

My boy loves eating peas, raw, that he has shelled himself. He has been really into this recently and will eat loads of them. I encourage this as he avoids green things other than peas and celery at the moment.

Then after this stonking lunch we had a hypo of 3.1 a couple of hours later.
But in an amazing breakthrough Frank actually told us.
He said "My tummy feels funny, I think you need to test me".
Major cuddles and Brownie points for that one.
I was so proud of him.
Some juice and a date slice and he was good to go.

And so are we, battling each low and dealing with each high and trying to be good parents.
Trying to make our boy proud to be diabetic and to stand among so many amazing children and their families.
