dear Tehzeeb,
I think our Summer is as cold as your winter. Mummy is coming to see you next week- I can see the suitcase being packed with pashmina's and shalwar kameezes, the ones that are not in your wardrobe.
I still have the ear infection and now it is being treated with drops in my ear rather than tablets. I sleep longer than usual.
Yesterday I went to see the orthopaedic surgeon with Daddy. We had to wait 1 1/2 hours. He said that I have to keep the brace on except for when I go swimming or playing on the beach.
Time to go downstairs now to catch the taxi mini van to school. Two of my classmates are in the same taxi as me. One of them is in a wheelchair, the other has a walker. I don't have either. Tony is my taxi driver. He takes me to school and brings me home.
love Rosie XXX
dear Grandad,
Mummy has got it into her head that I should be able to climb. She has started me off on the playground climbing wall. At least I get to take my brace off for it and then in an attempt to provide temptation a museli bar is placed at the top.
I prefer swinging, or seesaws or roundabouts.
My ear infection continues. The antibiotics didn't work. It doesn't bother me that much, just it is very smelly and people are quite impolite in mentioning it.
I had the most wonderful weekend with Eleanor. And the good news is that mummy and daddy are going away again on Friday and Saturday and Eleanor is coming to stay again. They think I don't know but Eleanor told me.
love Rosiepo XXX
dear Aunty Judy, I am sorry you were sad I didn't come to see you this weekend and I didn't get to come to your grandaughter's birthday party. However I really did need some respite and am feeling much the better for it. I got to go to the beach, and the park. I got to play in the sprinkler on the back lawn and swing on the garden swing. Eleanor and I had a great time. I hear you are whizz on Trade Me. Mummy is good at buying but not at selling. She tried and experiment with some new french kids clothing and a used pair of pumpkin patch shoes and all anyone was interested in was the shoes. Looking forward to seeing you on the island. I hope you bring your grandaughter over for me to play with sometime, love Rosie xxxxxx
p.s. these roses are just coming out on our deck
Dear Eleanor,
I am so happy that I am going to spend the whole weekend with you. Just so that you know, I am learning to make my own omelette. First you sizzle the butter; then you beat the egg with a fork (see photo); then add salt and pepper.
Then you have to grate the cheese (I thought I would just taste some first to make sure it was okay). Then add the eggs to the frypan, make sure they cover the botto
m, add the cheese and with a spatula flip one half of the omelette over the other half so the cheese melts in the middle.
Voila!
If you can't make omelette I will also eat weetbix with warmed milk.
lots of love

dear Grandma Stella,
Here I am at the airport waiting for Daddy to arrive. It is great to have him home.
Today Eleanor came and took me for a long ride on the back of her bike. We rode along the ridge and I held on tight singing happily. Once back home I got to wear her stylish helmet around home rather than my childish pink one. I climbed up onto the chair and looked in the mirror to see what I looked like. Boy did I look good.
Looking forward to seeing you in the Summer holidays. Did you know that mummy is furnishing the house by buying on Trade Me. She has become a little addicted and has moved beyond furniture to buying clothes for herself and for me. Not that I am complaining.
love
Rosie XXX
dear Simon,
Today the Beach Boys came to New Zealand and my dad came home from Indonesia.
The Beach Boys are not the originals even though they sing the original songs. Maybe I can be a Beach Boy one day? At my school they have their own band which has percussion instruments and drums. One day I want to be in the school band. I am not sure what I will be able to play yet.
Apparently Summer has arrived but last week there was a storm with 130 kph winds and every single flower was blown off the Rhododendron.
love

dear Kelly,
Moving along with the home and living theme. I am still having some difficulty comprehending spaces behind doors. Most spaces behind doors you can move into. Somehow with the fridge you just cannot.
End of the week today. Both my ears are now infected with pseudomonas aeruginosa. I have to eat a horrible tasting tablet which might or might not work.
After school we went to visit the hens before music therapy. Today they were hiding under the bushes in their garden as it was too hot for them in their home.
love

dear Daddy,
I am sure that one day I will be an excellent house cleaner. At present I just don't seem to be able to get the tops off the containers or to work out how to do that squirting action. Sweeping is a bit more my style. However the other day I did help mummy by handing her items of clothing to iron. Some fell on the floor and when she told me to 'pick it up' I could figure out what was required.
There are big storms today and I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. Mummy took me to school today and I showed her the sensory room. It is very dark and there are long strings of light. I love being in there and when people try to make me leave I shoo them away and pull the curtain back to close the door.
lots of love
Rosie XXXXXX
dear Daddy,
It is funny hearing your voice come out of the computer. I wish I could see you. I try touching the computer to get closer but mummy gets mad.
Today Yasmine came to visit and we went on a walk. Very close to our house we saw a lady with a hen. She let me pat it and then took me into her front yard where I was allowed to go into the hen house. I crouched down inside and mummy reckons you couldn't tell the difference between my sounds and those of the hens. I was just being very sociable.
The lady said that I can visit any time and just to bring bread and other food to put in the bucket for the hens to eat. The hens are not allowed citrus or onions. The lady then showed me the little door at the back of the hen house where the hens put their eggs. I was allowed to hold an egg. It was so much fun.
love you Rosie XXXXXX
dear Alison,
It is a lovely cup you gave mummy. I am not usually allowed to hold it. I brought these glasses home from school today. They suit me so well.
Daddy is away in Indonesia. I miss him. Today he spoke to me via skype. He could see me on the webcam but he doesn't have a webcam and so I couldn't see him.
Mummy is buying furniture on Trade Me for the Summer. She has bought beds, tables and chairs. She hasn't bought any mosquito nets yet. You will have to come and visit us.
love Rosie
dear Tania,
I am not really into routine. Versatility and flexibility are high on my list of what I appreciate. This is my toilet seat. See- it can also be a hat.
Today Eleanor took me all the way down the hill in the buggy and most of the way back up again. She is very fit.
I went to Taupo in the weekend and I got to see a wonderful fireworks display. I just stood transfixed for 20 minutes as stars sprayed down on me.
Give Tenika a hug from me,
miss you,
love Rosie XXX
dear Julia,
See- I do learn from school activities. I was able to combine my interest in technology with my budding interest in riding. This is JayDee and he is 12 years old. He is my uncle's dog. The only problem was that he wouldn't get up and walk around with me on his back.
I am glad to be back at school after being away. I am sorry I missed the trip to the wave pool.
Love Rosie
