Charlie, our Christmas baby

This is Charlie, aged 3 years and 2 months. He was born on December 25th 2008, the best gift you could ever ask for. Charlie has been diagnosed with PDD and has a clinical age of 18 months.

Charlie is such a beautiful little boy. He loves to wear bright clothing and has an excellent memory. He has taught himself to count to 30 forwards and backward. If i write a number he can tell me what that number is. He has also taught himself the full alphabet, colours and many shapes from square to hexagon.

Charlie requires 24/7 supervision. He will not leave his mothers side for any period of time and has his bed next to ours. He does not eat well but loves bread. Charlie likes to line his toys across the length of the living room and spends a lot of time flapping his hands around his head. He also spends many hours of the day watching wheels spin round on his toy cars.

As you will see from the photo, Charlie has long hair, he will not allow anyone to cut his hair, we have to try and trim when he is asleep. He has a bad temper and frequently throws his toys and breaks them. He is obsessed with electronic equipment such as phones, ipads and laptops. Charlie does not like to cuddle or kiss, but when he does cuddle you understand how much he loves you.

Charlie e is our perfect little angel and happy in the way he perceives the world. As long as he is a healthy happy little boy I will sleep well at night.

Love you my angel xx
