This is what the fairies leave around the place in Bali on Christmas Day .... it happened to us in 2007 and it has happened again here.
Christmas day for us has been relaxing at home .... a small trip to Hardys for shopping followed by J-Co for donuts .... then down to the beach for tea. Kaylia knows exactly where she wants to go and charges off with all the adults trying to keep up. When she arrives at "Bobbys" on the beach, she waltzes in and goes to 'our' table.
As usual, her sense of location is unerring ... she knows where she is and where she wants to be.
..... and we continue to be "gob-smacked" by how happy and calm she is. No "nagging" for this or that ..... the routine behaviours that have been a pattern in the past .... pool - bath - shower -pool - play - bath ... it's all gone. We were remarking today that it is so easy to look after her now ... so enjoyable. In the past it has been 'enjoyable' because she is our child .... but it was B*&^% hard work at the same time. Now it is just so easy to care for her. I just hope this isn't a dream that we snap out of next week.
Matching thongs and toe-nails!
