#2070 Saturday 5th March

It's 11.30am and phase one of the Saturday routine has been completed.  We've gone to an op shop and come home with a collection of dvds.... she's now in her room watching them.  I can tell from the noises that she's very happy. 

It's not just the dvds though.... it has been an interesting week.  On Monday one of the therapy staff went to school to observe.  (Kaylia has been sent home a few times recently and this is not normal for her..... what's going on?)
The observation was that Kaylia was being bullied in class by another student.... it was a very subtle method that wasn't seen by the teaching staff.... and it meant that Kaylia had an increasing frustration level that eventually boiled over!

As a result, Kaylia was taught assertive behavior to manage the bullying..... and staff were alerted to the situation.  Kaylia is clearly much happier.

#2069 Tuesday 1st March

Last night was a doozy!  I think Kaylia only slept for about 3 hours from 3am to 6am..... and so that's how much sleep I got. I can certainly feel the effect today.

The landrover in the shed is making progress.  I now only have the ignition wiring to fix and it will be a go-er.
