#320 Monday 18 July

Sleep in! It's 7:00am ... Kaylia has slept well .... we've slept well. I'm lying in bed watching a kite in the sky (no curtains yet) ... the sky has kites wherever you look ... large ones flying high (Zoe take note!) I'll investigate having a "Villa Frangipani" kite! We could fly it when in residence.



Today? Manage anxiety!! That was a doozy last night. Still only about 70% of the severity of the early day melt-downs .... but we've grown accustomed to a calm Kaylee ... It was a shock!

Afternoon: it has been a waiting day .... waiting for people to arrive .... managing the anxiety monster while doing so. She has a repertoire of possible activities ... We cycle through them. The trick seems to be to survive through the period where she is working out what those options are. Once she has decided the sequence of routines, we then maintain the sequence and try to manage our needs around it.



A startling stormy sky from the kitchen.
