The Last Supper

'Mum, I'm so sad for Jesus having a Last Supper! It is the saddest thing ever. It's horrible. Nobody should have a last supper!'

'Don't worry about the Last Supper'

'How can I not worry. Will I have a Last Supper?'

'No'

'How do you know?'

'It's something you don't need to even think about.'

'I am thinking about it'

'Well why don't you go for a nice sleep and dream of pirates'

'Which pirate?'

'Hook?'

'Ok, Hook is the best pirate. Did Hook have a last supper?'

'No!'

'Are you sure?'

'Yes!'

'I'm so sad about the last supper!'

'Ok.'

'Mum, how can there be Christmas if Jesus is dead?'

'I really think you should sleep now!'

'Mum, I'm not one bit happy about this!'

'I know you're not but how about, you can go for your sleep and forget about it all while you're sleeping.'

'Ok, Mum but I won't be forgetting when I wake up!'

'Have a lovely sleep now!'

'Ok, see you when I wake up and I won't forget... poor Jesus!'

You couldn't make it up. There's a PWS obstacle to jump everywhere. 

The Easter holidays are upon us once again and The Lodger is facing another chocolate filled event minus the chocolate. 

As he left school on the last day before break, I saw a sea of kids carrying chocolate eggs and there behind them was our boy, waving his special bar in the air.

'Look what Teacher gave me!! I love this!'
He was thrilled to bits. 

Taking part in the Easter hunt in school

So far, as long as The Lodger gets something food based that's good for his special tummy, he's happy. He doesn't mind that his friends get something different. Hopefully, it stays that way, as he has an insisted The Easter Bunny brings his mum and dad a chocolate egg this year. A win for us right there.

The Lodger knows what to expect from Easter now. He knows that the bunny will leave him a surprise. He knows that other people get chocolate. He knows that we'll have a delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack and snack and that one snack might be a dessert but not a dessert dessert, a Lodger dessert. He knows and he's happy.

The Lodgers expectation versus reality is a huge cause of anxiety when it's something he hasn't seen before, been to before, heard about before... He'll ask one million questions, several times until he has the idea in his head of what to expect but this Easter, he knows... and well apart from the Jesus stuff, it's been a calm approach to the chocolate filled holiday this year.
