Taj Loves Christmas Party’s

Attending the 2011 Variety Children’s Christmas Party was the third time that Taj had experienced such an event. Knowing that he can handle all the fun and excitement and will not go into a sensory overload easily takes a lot of stress off my mind.  The event goes for two hours and is held in one of the pavilions at the Claremont Showgrounds in Perth. Being undercover certainly makes it easier in terms of having to keep an eye on excessive sun exposure.

The 2011 Party was, in my opinion, the best by far. There were lots more bouncy castles, including ones that were HUGE slides. This enabled the children to climb up the steps that were built into the bouncy castle and then slide down however they wanted. Taj absolutely loved climbing up the steps and the whizzing down the slide.  In fact, Taj went on all of the bouncy castles lots and lots of times.

Another one of Taj’s favourite rides was the helicopter ride. There were lots of small helicopters that were attached to large beams that went up and down whilst going around and around. Taj thought it was fantastic when the ride speed up. I was most impressed with Taj when he reassured whoever was sitting next to him that it was all okay.

There was also a Ferris Wheel at the party. Taj went on this quiet a few times. Here is some video footage of him on the Ferris Wheel.
