NoTube Eating school day 12 (chapter 2)
The last day. This eating school went really fast! Maybe because we were able to enjoy and appreciate it even more. We can look back and say that this time we can go back home without anxiety. We are okay on our own, and will continue to make steps.…

One more day to go and then the eating school is finished already! This time we don’t feel the anxiety like we did last year. We have more confidence in ourselves and in Elodie. We have come a long way, and she has been making little steps. She has…
