#1231 Sunday 10 April

Yesterday was almost textbook ...... Kaylia likes it when the routine is followed.  After 2 days of holiday,  she's very keen to know when she can go back to school!

She had a lot of dancing yesterday.   The evening routine is changing ..... she's staying up a bit longer ..... and at "Dr Daddy" time, she's no longer insisting that the tv go off ..... so the adults can have a normal evening.

We are trying taking her off Risperdal during these holidays. We've tried before but we could see that she still needed it.  Maybe this time she will cope.   It would be great to have her off that medicine. Today is day 2 ..... the dose must be tapered off over the week ... so by next weekend we will be able to decide whether we put her back on it or if she can cope without.  The Risperdal acts to slow her mind down so that she can give her attention to the current task.  In the past it has been essential for school.   Hopefully she can control her attention herself now.   Fingers crossed!!

Today will be a change of routine ..... Aunty Mim is no longer living in Perth so we must find a new Sunday drive destination.  As a treat we will go to Bindoon this morning ..... the op shop and the bakery are calling!
