Kaylia is rapt with her "feast" of aupair attention.... Andrew and Catriona are from Scotland and they're staying with us for this month while Nita and Sverrin are travelling..... and Kaylia is loving it! I am too! They're both musicians and I'm finally getting to know some Gaelic music.
This afternoon Kaylia had a tough time with a spot of anxiety..... but Naomi worked her magic and Kaylia was soon back to being her cheerful self.
Yesterday was a Friendship Club session.. the final one for these holidays. As usual she loved it. On the way there, we were about 3 suburbs away when she began asking "Friendship Club?".....
Today she will be going to an event at CWBC! It will be good to see how she manages.
Yesterday we had a visit from the builder appointed to repair the storm damage. I am amazed at how fast the repairs are progressing.
Evening : She's been brilliant as usual. The "event" was a bit much for her and we had to cut it short.... but it was still good for her to be involved and to see what the other kids were doing.
She's been on a high all day..... starting with therapy this morning and continueing through the evening. It hasn't helped that she has two new "captive slaves" to enjoy! Catriona and Andrew are from Scotland and are with us for October (while BandS are off travelling.) Today Kaylia was taking full advantage of new tickling fingers.
I'm getting better.... but I'm amazed at just how sick I was on Friday..... I keep learning of things that happened while I was out to the world.
I'm feeling a lot better today... still in a bed worthy condition so I slept till about 3pm when 2 crises occurred which required my attention..... the minor one was that the bath taps couldn't be turned off and needed my tender skills..... and the important one was that Kaylia had inflicted a very painful injury on Naomi! They had been on the bed and in her exuberant fashion Kaylia flung her arm about.... and her elbow connected with Naomi's forehead. It was a strong blow and although it doesn't bother Kaylia, it is very painful for Naomi. This is a fairly regular occurrence for a child that has little awareness of what other people feel.... and a very high personal pain tolerance.
Bonita and Sverrin head off tomorrow on their month long trip to Melbourne and back.... when they will rejoin us. While they are away we're going to have a "fill in" pair to help us survive. I shudder to think of trying to get things done without help.
