#109 Sunday 5 December 2010

Yay!! She slept right through the night! What a champion!
(Unfortunately she has trained me well .... I woke at 3am and waited for Kaylia to come ... and waited ..... and waited ...... till 6am. I finally slept for an hour till she actually did come!)
In the scheme of things it was a very successful night. Definitely a "two buck" night!

I have completed the transfer of the blog record to the new journal and I can now create a PDF file of the whole blog! In the process I read most of the blog .... gee it has been a tough year! I had forgotten. Things seem cruisey now in comparison.

Today will be a Kaylee/Mummy time .... Kaylee is showing signs of missing her Mummy. Even though Naomi is only a few metres away in physical terms, Kaylee doesn't have much access time because Naomi is having to work so hard.

Later .... it has turned out to be a day of high anxiety. This shows as K wanting to do things .... car, whatever ..... this then raises our anxiety levels as well and we strive to calm K and hence ourselves. The easy answer is to blame the medication. We can't rule this out but we need to be sure that hasn't become a scapegoat which masks a different cause.

More later .... a little milestone. Tina came home and Kaylia (unprompted) said "Hi Tiwa!" I think this is the first time Kaylia has ever initiated a greeting!

Later again!! Another precious moment! In the corner of the living room is a folding table on which a musical keyboard lives ..... a short time ago, Kaylia was playing under it .... and it collapsed on her. (Not heavy enough to do any damage) Mummy was heard to exclaim "..... oh sh*&^!!... " as she rushed to assist. Seconds later a small voice says "..... oh sh*&^!!... " Entirely in context and not echolalia! Mummy has taught some bad language!

  1. There is another way - first, Google Print Friendly (http://www.printfriendly.com/) and download their free app. This formats any web page into a print friendly page and allows you to decide what gets printed and what doesn't (ie strips out ads and blather).

    Then print that either by their pdf creation button, or use pdf Factory which allows you to add pages and rearrange them as desired. That way you "build a pdf book" as you go. No paper involved - pdf Factory just installs as if it were a printer.

    All free, too, although you are supposed to pay if you like it, which I do.

    This allows you to create the pdfs after the blog is done, rather than before.
