Sorry for the gap in blogs .... I haven't been feeling well.  Fortunately Kaylia is in rip-roaring form ..... she's very happy and she is delighting in looking for things that she can do which will produce praise for her!  She is finding things .... such as picking up our plates from the table and taking them to the sink .... then it's "Good Girl???"  She's a delight.

We are saying good-bye to Harry and Elle at the end of the month.  The office need for cleaners is changing .... and Kaylia is really not needing as much after-school care .... so we are going to try a time without aupairs and we will see how it goes.

It was time for Teddy to have another bath .... so after Kaylia finished with her 'bubble-bath',  we let most of the water out .... and then plonked him in.  He wasn't too worried .... but he did look funny in the middle of all the bubbles.  The method is not really successful though.  We usually wash him in the sink and I think that is a much better method.

Today was a 'drive to Bindoon' day ..... there's an excellent op shop there .... plus an even better bakery!  So it always  makes a good drive.  .... and its always good to see the delight on Kaylia's face when Naomi comes out of the op shop with a good dingle-dangle.

In yesterday's op shop visit in Midland, Naomi found an especially fine necklace and Kaylia was entranced!  Normally she just wants to play with them and stim with them ..... but this one?  She wanted to wear it!


Today has been rather wearing with Kaylia's looping ..... she repeats "school on Monday" over and over.  We try to interrupt the loop and we try to get her to use different words and variations .... but she keeps on with the same pattern over and over.  It gets hard to take.
