Four and a half

So lets start of with the stats. Eoin is 53lbs and 47.5 inches (or 3 feet 11.5 inches). Yes he is huge. This is the average height of a seven - eight year old!!! Eoin is still on target to be 6ft 6 by the age of 18.

Eoin continues to be a child with so much love and is very quick to show you his love though he has decided that he is allergic to kisses.

Gross motor skills are amazing. Cycling, swimming, soccer, running, monkey bars etc are things that he can do with much ease. We are however seeing a problem with fine motor skills and some sensory issues.

We are planning on seeking some input on the sensory issues. Eoin will say things like I can't sleep unless your legs are on top of  mine, he has become scared of loud noises, he has started to squeal again and be very physical (which given his size and strength can be very scary).

We are hoping a relaxed summer without any cancer treatments for me and a whole month of vacation for Andy will provide us the family time we need to be together and help Eoin with some of these issues.

Worms!

On a recent visit to the forest  Eoin was fascinated by a huge worm. He wanted it to come home with him to play in his garden but we persuaded him that it was better for the worm to stay inthe forest and so Eoin dug a little hole for his new friend and off the worm went.
