Well today I have done something possibly very crazy, but it is something amazing at the same time!!!

I have signed up to walk the Great Wall of China for Alder Hey!!! 😮😮😮

It will mean leaving my family for 9 days, and the walk is for 5 days, but I am really very excited!! 

I don't really expect people to understand why I'm doing this! Leaving my family for a day is hard enough, but leaving them for 9 days will be very tough! Much more tougher than walking the wall of China and tougher than walking the 2000 steps up the heavenly ladder!! 

I imagine there is some concern over daddy having to run the household for 9 days too, but I honestly think he will be fine! I will fill the freezer up with ready meals and the kids will be at school for most of the time so he will only really have Aydan! 

If Aydan isn't very well then of course I won't do it! My family do come before a walk any day!

But you know when something just calls out to you and you think that you really have to do it?!

There I was stood in the Alder hey corridor eating a pasty and looking at the poster like I had won the lottery! I mean let's face it! How often do opportunities like this come up?!

The aim is to raise a minimum of £3000 for them! I'm pretty certain I can do it! I've raised nearly £1.5k for the Ronald McDonald house, so I'm sure I can do this!! 

If anyone is reading this and happens to really want to sponsor me and help other children in the future then please do so by clicking on this link! :0)

Here is some pics of what I will be doing! 

And just throwing this in too because Karl pilkington responded to me and that is totally awesome!! :0)

And then there's this too!

Aydan got to try a special walker out today! 

This is the kidwalk walker!

I did really like it, but Aydan just didn't seem interested in doing any walking in it, and ended up crying in frustration, so we took him out of it and we literally fell asleep straight away! Plus the wanted £1.5k for it, and as he is now cruising we don't want to spend that much money on something he might never use!

Today we were at Alder Hey because Aydan was having some nerves testing done in his eyes!!!!

I've never seen this before so I was very curious, but it wasn't as bad as I was imagining!!!

He did very well, and I was so glad to have daddy with me because he didn't want to put his head in the light box!! Can't say I blame him!!!

This is him with his electrodes on :0)

We don't know what the results of this are and have to wait for them to come through, so I will let you all know as soon as I know something! :0)

The same day Aydan went to his child development session. He had normally 3 or 4 people there assessing him by playing with him and doing various activities with him! I can't remember what they all do, but one is a speech therapist and I think one is a play specialist!

These are the people who will be helping to get him in to nursery/school eventually. 

This is a picture from his CDS, but not his session.
