A few days ago, Gilligan and I went to the park to play with our new Christmas presents.
He has recently learnt to ride a trike, so I was excited to find a large one at the shops. Like a lot of children with autism, Gilligan doesn't have great balance. He's brilliant on his feet - an expert climber and jumper, but not so good on a bike. So learning to pedal was a huge achievement for him.
As for me? My Christmas present to myself, courtesy of a voucher my lovely siblings gave me in honour of the rubbish year I've had, was a bright red (yes, the colour is important) Olympus Pen Camera.
Sadly, I have no idea how to use it.
Over the course of the last few months while The Skipper has been so ill, it's been a huge regret that I hardly ever take photos. So, my only New Year's Resolution is this.
I will take more photos.
And I might even learn how to use my sexy new camera!

He is doing great! And what a cute bike. I adore that last photo of him.
