Happy Birthday to Me

I had a fabulous birthday this year with all my precious people around me.
  

I bought Natalia a new bin for her bathroom. She played with it for 2 days calling it a 'bucket'

First Day at Play School and Paed Visit

Natalia went to her first day of Play School today. I was a bit apprehensive, not knowing how she'd react. But there was no need to worry. We walked in and she immediately sat down with some other kids. And then wondered around, playing with a car, then with a ball and then with a dog. I took a couple of photos of her running around; she didn't stand still for a minute.......to much to see and explore........ and all this in a matter of minutes. I bent down to say goodbye and give her a kiss, and to her and to tell her I love her and will fetch her later. She didn't even bat an eyelid and didn't even look for me when I had gone. I stood around the corner checking to see if she'd look for me....... she didn't. My heart sang with joy - thank goodness no screaming toddler! Dolly fetched her at 12h00. She'd had a ball and was happy all the time. She had lunch which included sausage, mash and baked beans. Now I tried to give Natalia baked beans 4 days ago and she wouldn't eat them. Just shows you when there's other kids around was that can do. I think she's been needing this and I wish I had done it sooner if it was possible. Natalia is a social butterfly, very independant and strong-willed.......

At 14h00 we went to visit the Paed for Natalia's 18 month check-up. She's in good health and everything is fine, but, there's always a but! Natalia has developed Athletes Foot somewhere along the line - who knows where?? It's only affected her one foot and the finger tips on her one hand - even more weird?? So we have some cream to put on it and if it doesnt improve in 2 weeks time we need to get a different cream.

That's all for now.......

Perth (24 - 25 January)

Natalia found a wheelchair at the airport and insisted that I push her around in it - embarassing

She passed out after having a melt down for 40 minutes on the plane

Natalia is glued to the portable DVD player

Natalia and I went to watch a show. She didnt sit still very long, but we made it through the entire show.

Natalia has become Barney obsessed on this trip

We went out for dinner. I ordered mussels - a shocking portion!

Kim's meal was considerably smaller than mine
