It's 4pm ...... as usual, as soon as the car pulled into the driveway, Kaylia has rushed inside and headed for "BUBBLE BATH!!" She loves it. Now ... half an hour later she is crooning away very happily. When she croons like this we can very accurately tell what her mood is. Now she is happy .... but if she becomes anxious or in pain, we hear the change in the sound immediately. It's a good "Kaylia barometer"!
This evening while having tea, the phone rang ....... "Hello, this is a short survey from the Federal Government......." !!!!!!! Not only does our wonderful government do nothing to control phone spam and scam, the government does it too!

#1911 Tuesday 6 November
Kaylia often comes home with scrapes and bruises .... with her lack of sensory reception, she doesn't really notice them. Today she came out of school with a big red mark on her forehead. Asked "Does it hurt?" she says yes.
Then Casey noticed similar redness on her hands ..... touching the redness revealed that it was paint! ..... and the forehead was paint too! Kaylia is a fraud..... but a fraud of the most endearing sort.

#1910 Monday 5 November
It's Guy Fawkes night! I remember..... as a child I used to collect crackers in the weeks leading up to this night. It was a BIG night for me! .... and then they went and banned crackers. So sad.
Kaylia continues her merry way .... every night she is talking about school the next day .... and then the talk always turns to Bali! Now we can tell her that she is going to Bali next month! .... and we can talk about her favourite Bali features .... the swimming pool, the bakery, the shops.
Yesterday we had a little gathering for our work colleagues ..... Kaylia was well behaved and fitted in well.

Yay.... we can talk about Bali! Kaylia is very happy. For the moment we just talk in general terms .... what does she like doing in Bali? .... and we go when school finishes. Closer to the date we can start a count down....
Today she has a dental appointment with Dr Camacho..... she's very excited! But it means that we have to delay departure for about an hour. Fortunately Casey is extremely resourceful at keeping Kaylia engaged. I don't think I've ever seen anyone so good at this.... her skill really makes a difference for us.
Evening: The dentist visit?? ..... her teeth are very good with excellent care being taken. ...... but her wisdom teeth will need fixing in about a year! One of the four emerging teeth will be OK ..... but three of them will not be OK and will need to be removed! It will mean another hospital visit with GA and lots of pain. Poor thing.

#1908 Wednesday 31 October
The tension is rising! Tomorrow is November .... and then we can talk about Bali!
We've had a small change in the breakfast routine ...... for some time Kaylia has has a short session of "doing her face" after breakfast ..... and all the tubes etc have been in a pile on the shelf. Naomi has found a small bag to hold all the stuff needed .... it's pink .... and Kaylia loves it!

Today is Jonathan Croft's birthday. Kaylia never met this grandfather but I know they would've been rapt with each other.
He would have been 96 today.
In this photo from 2001 he was 79.
Kaylia had a class excursion today ....

#1907 Sunday 28 October
8am and Kaylia has been in the bath for an hour. On Sunday mornings I go down and get Kaylia in the bath so that Naomi can have some more sleep in time.
Now ..... what has gone on since the last post on Wednesday? Well .... the trip home was uneventful ..... except for some interesting times at the Denpasar airport ..... the Air Asia check-in desks weren't at their usual place! To find them, we are led on a loonng walk through corridors and down escalators ..... down into a section of the old airport building! There all the check in processing happens ..... and then we had to follow a different route to get back to the normal area in the "new" terminal where the customs and passport processing happens! Before starting the trek to their new location, I had gone to the old location ..... and this is not being used by any airline! My guess is that this is another cost saving measure by Air Asia ..... they probably get a reduction in terminal charges .... much as I have no doubt that they get a big reduction in terminal charges by not using the air-bridge for loading/unloading the passengers.
I got home on Thursday night to find a very relieved Teddy ..... for the next few hours he was glued to my heels!
Today we did a Fremantle drive ..... and then home via an assortment of op shops.
Kaylia is looking forward to Thursday .... it will be November! .... and we have said that we can then talk about "Bali"! She has been wanting to talk about Bali for months now so it will be good to finally do so.
