3:20pm .... Kaylia has just arrived home. I'll describe that for those who don't know..... she can be heard all the way in from the car .... a cross between a drone and a song. As she comes in the door and down the stairs, she's engrossed in her iPhone and my "hello" gets no response. She plops her school bag down and heads for her room. This behaviour in a normal child would be worrying and you'd be correct to say that we need to work on improving it..... so we then apply the auty filter ..... she is in her own world and probably didn't even hear anything said to her. Blaming the iPhone doesn't work either .... it would be just the same without it. sure we could enforce the correct social behaviour ..... but this is her down-time and its a battle that we choose to ignore.
7pm A short while ago we were outside on the balcony watching 3 kangaroos in the backyard. We are so fortunate to live in this place ..... it would be sad to not be able to see these wonderful animals.
