DandM!!!! Beware! I've been pondering "imagination" again ... isn't it really the single most important factor that makes us "human"? Imagination is essential to other characteristics .... without it we could not experience compassion, we could not reach out to the stars, our phones would not exist ..... on and on.
Evening: it's been a tough day .... not because of Kaylia .... she's been a gem today. Rather it was physically hard .... although I can mostly just supervise, I still had to be up and down the ladder many times .... and using the saw ... 'cos no-one else can use it ... or will use it.
This evening Ellie told us of their time swimming with turtles on Gili Island......
From Naomi:
I'm loving this holiday with Kaylee (now that we're over the stress of transition). Two noteworthy incidents today.
First one - Kaylee often asks me to come into her room to spend time with her. Today she asks me to come in and promptly shoves her iPhone into my hand and tells me (in her way) that she needs help with Youtube. I work out what is wrong & fix the problem for her. Then, as I settle in along side of her, she tells me "go". When I complain that she's being unfair, she tells me in no uncertain terms to "go" again. As I leave the room (feeling a little unloved) she can be heard saying "hooray". My little girl's developing attitude...awesome
:)
Second one- Kaylee comes in tonight wanting stories from me. Those of you who have lived with us will know she has a her personal favourite "mummy stories" at bedtime. As I'm leaving the room, I mumble under my breath "I wonder how many I'll have to tell tonight"...quick as a flash she comes back with "5". Then we have to negotiate which ones as I hold her to five stories only:)
I love these interactions where you get to see her personality. She may not have many words but she uses them effectively
