#1236 Saturday 3 October

Yesterday was "therapy at home" day ...... so Kaylia was able to sleep in!  With the holiday activities she has been quite tired at night so it was good for her to catch up.

Yesterday was also significant for ......

1) Hannah finding out that she has to go onto a coeliac diet ..... this is quite a good thing in some ways as it fits our current diet of unprocessed food that's low in free glutamates .... we will all benefit.

2) I found out that I was being made redundant from my main contracts ......  so we will need to make some changes to cope with the change. Fortunately it won't affect Kaylia's therapy as that is now fined by NDIS.

Today?  Swimming, bath time, shopping .... the usual Saturday routine.

Afternoon ..... She's had the morning at Kings Park and now she's in the outside bath ..... lots of bubbles and very cold water.  It fortunate that the bubble bath soap liquid we use is very cheap ..... $2 a liter!  We use a lot of it!

  This morning she had a cold shower!  I couldn't stand to watch so I added some hot water to take the chill off.  That got an immediate request for "more cold please" !!!!!

Last night as she was drifting off to sleep she was giggling to herself .... so I thought I'd try to find out what it was about.  She was imagining the Wiggles "Hot Popcorn" song!!!  This adds a bit more data to the riddle of her imagination (or lack of).   It appears that she can hold an image in her mind of something she is familiar with ..... but it's a abstract image that she can't do.
