Wve just arrived home after her usual trip to the op shop.  She found 14 dvds and she was visibly excited.... there must be something special about the collection!  On the way home she was crooning loudly.  When she's happy with something she croons.....  and this time it was at top volume!

I wish we could tap into her thoughts.

I always like that image .... and the refusal to accept the "labels" put on us.   

"Curve Style" has commenced business again.  Lee (that runs it) has returned from her break and she was working with Kaylia today ..... sorting and labeling clothes.  Sales are slowly building ..... but the aim is to have a routine activity that teaches her some skills that are useful in the work scenario.  The "litmus test" is whether she is enjoying the activity and whether we can see her anticipation.

It has been good to see the number of people that are responding to FB posts about Kaylia.  I really love hearing from people who have spent time with us in the past ...... and finding out that some of you share my Landrover interest!   "Bob" is slowly progressing .... my fingers are firmly crossed that I might have an 'Engineers Certificate' this week.  This would allow me to go to the next stage of getting Bob registered for the road.   

I've been adding "Anderson plug" circuits to Bob to allow appliances and connections. There are now sockets at the front, in the cab, behind the cab and inside the air compressor storage space.

 The day has gone as we expected .... it began with her opening 10 presents first thing in the morning.  This has become a tradition now .... she always expects ten presents!  (These are mostly normal clothing items ... but there are ten wrapped presents ..... that's what she appreciates.)

Then she had her normal day.  Kaylia and I went for a long drive ... out to York and then back via West Dale and Kalamunda ..... arriving home in time for Kaylia to go with Jenny (carer) till 4pm.  Then Naomi came home and it was time to ice the traditional pink cake and prepare her mini-party.
