Sorry for the delay in posting, life has well and truly gotten in the way lately! ❤️

But I couldn't let this little achievement go unshared! 🥹💜

Our Logan came home with his Seren yr Wythnos (Star of the Week) certificate! 🌟

Awarded for his fantastic work with the pre-Brailler and for being independent! 🥰

For some, these might seem like little things, but for Logan, they're huge milestones, and we couldn't be prouder of him!

Watching him grow in confidence, learn new skills and become more independent is everything we've ever wished for. 💜

Keep shining, Logan! You're doing amazingly, and we are so, so proud of you! 🌟💜

Where have the last 8 years gone? 🥹💙 It honestly feels like only yesterday.
Eight years ago today, you made me a mummy for the very first time. I can still remember just gazing at my beautiful blue-eyed baby boy for hours, watching your every little movement, studying every tiny expression and feeling a kind of love, joy and happiness I had never known before.

And now look at you… 8 years old! 🎈🎂

Logan, you are without a doubt the most inspirational young man I have ever met. You have been through more in your eight years than most people will face in a lifetime, yet you continue to take on the world with that gorgeous smile and incredible personality.

You make me proud every single day. You brighten every room you walk into, you make people smile, and you touch the hearts of everyone lucky enough to know you. 💙

Being your mummy is one of the greatest privileges of my life. If I could go back to that day eight years ago and whisper something to the new mummy staring down at her baby boy, I'd tell her, "You have absolutely no idea just how incredible this little boy is going to be." 🥹

Happy 8th Birthday, my beautiful Logan. 🎂💙

Keep being exactly who you are, because you really are something very special.
I love you more than words could ever say. Always and forever. 💙♾️

After Mummy’s fail this morning and getting my days mixed up, meaning we missed hydrotherapy 🙈🤦‍♀️… Logan still had a brilliant day! 💙

Today he’s been busy making his own pizza 🍕 and even practising his independence skills by using a safe knife to cut some of the ingredients himself. 🔪👏

He looks so focused and proud of what he’s doing. I absolutely love seeing him getting stuck into activities like this and learning new skills along the way. 💙🥰
Well done, Logan! ⭐️

Logan has spent his afternoon having a full-on conversation with ChatGPT… or “Mickey”, as he’s decided to rename him 😂🤦‍♀️

They’ve covered absolutely EVERYTHING — batteries, printers, why people have different skin tones, the dodgy Wi-Fi signal, astronauts, grey hair, and the fact that Logan is apparently “the boss of the whole house” 😂

Then, because clearly they hadn’t achieved enough, Logan decided to write his own tactile Braille book with ChatGPT, complete with a little grey cricket and his own tactile handprint! 🥹📚🌈

I honestly love listening to him chat away. The patience of AI combined with Logan’s endless questions is quite the partnership. 😂❤️

And just like that… ChatGPT is no longer ChatGPT.

His name is Mickey. 😂❤️

💜 Logan’s First Week at Ysgol Y Deri 💜

Well… first 2 days technically 😂, but what an amazing two days they’ve been!
After all the planning, worrying and wondering how Logan would cope with such a huge change, I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better start. 🥹

The photos coming through have been so reassuring — seeing him exploring his new classroom, getting stuck into activities, using his cane around his new environment, choosing his own lunch at the hatch, enjoying time outside and even getting some rebound in! 💜

Then his teacher sent me this:

“Honestly now, he has settled in so so well, he’s so confident around the classroom, speaking to people and he has just blown me away with how he’s come straight in and it’s like he’s always been with us!” 💜

After nearly five years at his previous school, surrounded by people who knew him incredibly well, moving Logan somewhere completely new was never a decision we took lightly.

Yet just two days in, he’s already exploring, making connections, getting involved and finding his place.

I expected to feel emotional sending him through those doors, but seeing these photos and hearing how confidently he's taken everything in his stride has made me so excited for what this next chapter might bring.

It’s very early days and I'm sure there will be bumps along the way, but for his first two days…

Our boy absolutely smashed it. 💜🌈

Here’s to your new adventure, Logan. 🥹

💜 First Day at Ysgol Y Deri 💜

And just like that… Logan's first day at Ysgol Y Deri ! 🥹💜

This morning he was happy, excited and completely ready to go.

I offered to walk him in, but apparently that was absolutely NOT happening 😂 He point blank refused — he wanted to go in on his own.

His new teacher came out to meet him at the car and that was it… off he went, hand in hand with her, chatting away like he'd just been reunited with a long-lost friend. 😂🥰

I genuinely expected this morning to be emotional.

After everything that went into getting Logan to this point, leaving the school and people he'd known for years and starting somewhere completely new, I thought I'd feel that familiar knot in my stomach as I watched him disappear through those doors.

But I didn't.

My stomach wasn't in knots.

I wasn't frightened.
I wasn't anxious about leaving him.

Instead, my heart just felt full of happiness and excitement for him. ❤️

And I think that feeling says so much.

For once, watching him go didn't feel scary. It felt right.

He's beginning a whole new chapter somewhere designed to understand and support children like Logan, and this morning he couldn't have looked more ready for it.
Seeing that huge smile in his new uniform says it all. 💜

Go and have the BEST first day, Logan.

New school. New adventures. New people to charm.

Same incredible Logan. 🥰💜

I can't wait to hear all about it when you come home.

❤️ Our first Mummy & Daughter Day ❤️

This weekend was the first proper Mummy and daughter day for me and Lilly… and I think it was much needed for both of us. 🥰

When you have four children all needing and competing for your time and attention 24/7, finding genuine one-to-one time with each of them can feel almost impossible.

Lilly is such a kind, caring and nurturing little girl. ❤️

She takes on a lot as a young carer — not because it is pushed on her, and certainly not because it is expected of her. It is simply in her nature to want to help, to nurture and to make things better for the people she loves.

I’m incredibly grateful for the way she has adapted and learned how to engage and play with Logan. So much of it she has worked out herself through trial and error, watching, listening and learning.

She’s even beginning to recognise those little cues that tell her when enough is enough and when it might be time to give Logan some space before things become overwhelming and an impulsive reaction happens.

Other times, despite having the very best intentions, she can find herself right in the firing line simply because she was trying to help. 💔

And as proud as I am of how understanding she has become, I never want her to feel that she has to constantly change herself, quieten herself or suppress her own natural behaviour to avoid triggering unwanted behaviours.

She deserves to just be Lilly too. ❤️

And today, that’s exactly what she got to do.

No sharing Mummy.
No adapting herself around anyone else.
No worrying about what anybody else needed.

Just Lilly being Lilly… and having me completely to herself. 🥰

We took a drive down to Cardiff Bay, went on some funfair rides, walked hand in hand with huge smiles on our faces, danced like nobody was watching, got absolutely caught in the pouring rain 🌧️😂 and finished our day flying across the water together on a speedy boat ride! 🚤

Nothing extravagant. Nothing complicated.

Just time.

And sometimes, especially in a busy family like ours, time and undivided attention are probably the most precious things you can give.

Today was for you, Lilly. ❤️

And judging by those smiles… I think Mummy & Daughter Days definitely need to become a regular thing. 🥰❤️

Logan's Soports Day 2026

incredibly proud of Logan at sports day today! 🏃‍♂️💨
Seeing that determination (and that massive smile) on the track was the absolute best.

​Such a brilliant day. 🌞
Logan gave it 100% for his big final races of the year! 🏆
Getting a bit emotional seeing how much he's grown since his very first one here.

It’s been a tough few days!

On Sunday, Logan became very upset out of the blue. As he cuddled into me, he said something that shattered my heart into a million pieces:

“Mum, I don’t want to be blind anymore. When will it get better so I can see like you?”

Hearing your child name the loss that you silently grieve each and every day is one of the deepest pains there is.

I celebrate every little win, every milestone and achievement, while quietly battling anger at the unfairness — alongside a constant feeling of helplessness and grief. Living in two worlds at once is something I never imagined, yet here we are.

I told him:
“Your eyes and brain work differently to mine, and that’s okay. You are an amazing superhero who can do things others can’t. You see the world in ways we never will — using your hands, your ears, your clever brain, and your pure heart.
You are a true miracle, and even though I can’t change what’s happened or fix it, I will always help you, protect you, and love you more than words can say.”

I am forever proud to be your Mummy — and prouder still to call you my son 💙

So proud of Logan 💛
This week he started reading some CVC words in braille, and the school kindly took some photos of him which they shared with me. I’m so happy to share them with you all.

We truly have all of you to thank. Every bit of support, encouragement, and kindness has helped him reach this moment. I will be forever grateful to each and every one of you who made it possible for him to have not just one, but two rounds of intensive therapy. It has made such a huge difference to him.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🌟
