Bits n Pieces

Hello again everyone,

slowly but surely mummy is winning the battle of the photographic implements that continue to be petulant and hard to get along with. These - finally - are photos from mummy's phone. The "after sales service" offered by the store we got the phone from, consisted of a help desk number scribbled on a sticky note. Nice! It was only after mummy googled the phone details and stumbled across a chat board where people were having the same problems with their phones, that mummy learned that she needed a memory card in the phone to transfer the photos to the computer. HA! So, the pompous eeediot who waved the USB cable at mummy and sarcastically intoned "you use this bit" was wrong - if he still worked there, mummy would go back and do things to that boy - however, let us not dwell on such painfull matters and check out the photos!

This is Polar n Madi waiting for daddy to come home. Mummy hired me a bubble car one day when we went shopping,

in the first shop mummy was buying some bangles for the luscious girls, and I fell asleep,

so our huge shopping trip was cut very short.

We often meet daddy for lunch and I get soooo excited when I see him,

here I'm playing "boo" with his glasses

At the pirate ship in the little wiggly boat
Playing racing cars with daddy
Off on an adventure with my new sunnies

Just being cute and cheeky for mummy

Blowing bubbles in the bath - too much fun

So that's it for the phone photos. (hope they were worth it)

Now for the news.............

This is Jenny

Jenny has looked after me for ages now when mummy goes bowling. She helped me get over my seperation anxiety and helps me make lots of cool stuff. She is patient and kind and always gives me lots of kisses and cuddles. I really love going to play with her! But Jenny is leaving the bowling creche this week and going to work at a privately run day care centre. NOOOOOOOO!

I am really really going to miss her. But things happen for a reason and mummy went to the day care centre and they were really lovely and had a vacancy for me! They employ older women and the place is like a (young-ish) nanna land, it's fantastic. They blow bubbles for the kids and roll around on the floor with them, much more interactive and fun. No flashy uniforms and intro packs, the centre needs cosmetic work but we're not paying for that - we're paying for people to care for me and they seem just like mummys kinder teachers, relaxed and smiley and loving. My new carer will be Pauline, when I met her she sat on the floor in front of me and said hi and that she'd love for me to come and visit her, and when we left she put her arm around me and gave me a kiss. Jenny will see me when I'm there because she does the lunch relief and will fill in wherever she's needed. Mummy and daddy are so happy that they have found somewhere nice for me where they will take the time to treat me as an individual and not expect me to be like every other kid. ABC told mummy I was emotionally immature - HA! If some kid goes to time out or is upset I sit with them or put my arm around them and ask them if they are ok - I am empathetic and that's much better than biting and hitting and being horrible - which apparently is "normal" for my age! I was a hassle to them because I got really upset when mummy left and they didn't have time for that. Mummy is coming with me tomorrow and we will have a couple of hours at my new centre, and on Tuesday we will have a go at leaving me, but if I get too upset, they will ring mummy and she can come back and stay with me - little little steps. Yayyyy!

In other news, we are still freezing. We went out to Mondos for dinner on Tuesday night, just lovely! We are working with mummys hairdresser to finally let him give me a haircut with the clippers. I have visited Byron a couple of times now, he puts me in a special chair, and gives me a cape, then he makes it rain on my head (mist bottle) and lets me touch the clippers when they are on. That's all fine but I still wont let him near my head with them - but that's ok - Byron is really cool and we just call in when we are going past, if he has the time we go through the steps to get me familiar with the place and him and eventually, it'll happen. Again - little little steps.

On Wednesday morning I start at Cheeky Monkey which is a 40 min kindy group class that does singing and dancing which I love doing at home. It's a huge thing up here and if the kids want to participate in little performances they can but they don't have to, It's not a formal thing just a fun activity to teach us songs, movement and rhythm. No parents allowed in the class as us little kids get easily distracted so there may not be any photos but mummy will let you know how I'm going with it. AND.................

guess what we are doing today?

After my sleep this afternoon, we are going to the circus!!

We have driven past it and seen the animals, and although I don't really know what a circus is, I am really really excited about going and keep asking if we can go now.

So - lots happening and daddy has slept in for long enough now so mummy is going to let me out to jump on him. Hope you are all happy and well - hope this wasn't too long winded for you all - Big squishes and love from - Kylin. xoxoxoxo
