Martha Enjoys her Harvest Festival
Martha recently took part in her school Harvest Festival by helping sing "Dingle Dangle Scarecrow" dressed as a farmer.
As you can see from the picture and note that the school sent home, Martha did some excellent standing, something that she wouldn't have been able to do a few months ago. Martha is getting stronger and has recently shown (in her walker for support) that she wants to move around independently. Excellent progress Martha....well done...!!!
