#740 Saturday 16 November

Another wet bed despite all the wee runs .... the full moon nears.

Evening
She's had a good day .... she's giggling her head off!  We had  a BIG watermelon at tea time and I think she might be drunk on melon!  The melon was 8kg and we had half of it tonight .... split between five of us.  The possums love the rind from the melon.
In the morning we trooped down together and collected the spruced up Magna.  It's been repaired and polished up .... it looks 1000%
Then it was off to Whiteman Park and the pool.  When Naomi came home from work we went shopping ..... then took Chris & Lara on a drive to Kalamunda and the zig-zag road (via the weir).

Interruption .... CODE BLUE!!
Naomi and I have been upstairs and Kaylia was downstairs.  We forgot that she was very quiet .... bad mistake!  She'd filled the bath .... and then kept filling!  The bathroom and laundry were flooded big time.

Oh well .... the floor is clean now.

#739 Friday 15 November

Once again .... wet bed and poor night ..... and the full moon is 2 nights away! The consistency of the effect is entirely convincing for me.  I have no idea how it works but I am sure that the evidence is sound and the link (between behaviour and the moon phase) is there.

Lara (and Chris) arrive tonight.  Lara doesn't takeover from Jo for another two weeks but their trip up North has been shortened and they will be here early. We will soon find out whether it was the weather ....

The Magna goes in for panel beating today .... I mention this for the benefit of those who have been driving it in the recent past.

This is the damage .... car park!   The car was unattended!

We've been battling the "nagging" lately ... and we realised that the nagging seems to be starting after a particular event in the daily routine . So we will now try to short circuit the process by immediately skipping a step and going to the next item in the routine .... we had a trial last night and it seemed to work.


 Togetherness!

Some more art from Kaylia

#736 Tuesday 12 November

I forgot to mention the other day that the periodic "weigh in" for Kaylia shows that her weight has remained the same since the end of June ..... that's four months now. 

This is a terrific result.  If we can keep this going, then as she grows she will no longer be over-weight.  This is largely due to reducing the dosage of Risperdal ..... it is still enough to manage her ability to concentrate .... but it is missing  the side effect of increased appetite.  We now need to adjust her thinking.  She's become accustomed to eating large portions and we need to reduce the size of the portions that she expects.

#735 Monday 11 November

The Holden is dead.  After it broke down with a severe water leak on Saturday, it has been found to be too expensive to fix.... so to the crusher it goes.   I have to find a replacement now.

Kaylia is going gang-busters!  During therapy today Alison was very pleased with her speech and with her play.  She's doing so well at present.

#734 Sunday 10 November

Now where did that day go? The routine seemed to flash past .... and the day is over.  Yawn ..... so am I!
