dear Alex,
Mum and dad took a day off today. They went up the coast to the sunshine and spent the day in a beach house looking over the sea. At sunset they drank wine from Castelnou and remembered our trip there all those years ago.
I went to school and then swimming where I was non-cooperative as I just felt like doing my own thing for a change. Poor Eleanor.
I hope your job in London is going well,
love Rosie XX
dear Godfather,
The pretty fairy dress still fits me, though this photo is from when I was just turning three. Now I am five.
Today at school a photographer came and took photos of me. I am going to be on a website marketing sleep suits and bibs for children who have feeding difficulties. I got to curl up in a sleep suit with a teddy bear.
Holly came to my place after school. Mum says it is like herding cats when we are both together. We both had music with Carolyn and played recorders together. Carolyn has a big circular drum, like a closed in tambourine that is full of very little ball bearings. When you hold it about your head they swish from side to side and sound like a loud sea.
love

dear Wendy,
Happy Birthday. Mum has just got back from your 50th and really enjoyed herself. She loved dancing to all those songs from 40 years ago!
I had a good time with Tania andTenika and all their family. I watched netball and saw kids I used to go to creche with.
On Sunday I had afternoon tea with Eleanor's mum. She has lots of lights, and a computer, and a music box. She had made me some pink fluffy stuff that I wasn't too sure about. It is important to be careful when people try to give you new foods. I found that out with lemon and lime pickle.
love Rosie
dear Eleanor,
Yasmine came to morning tea at my school this morning, as my special friend. Some kids had their grandfathers, or grandmothers. My niece came over from her school as well with lots of her classmates. They pushed me up and down the hall on the trike.
Then mum took me to the doctor who ordered a blood test. The nurse at the clinic found a vein but I squirmed and yelped and the needle came out. So then I had to go to a laboratory. Mum and a nurse held me down and another nurse put the syringe in. I was not at all happy.
I am glad you are coming to look after me tonight,
lots of love

dear Jenny and Richard,
Happy Birthday. Mum remembers when you were born. She ran to every classroom in the school to tell the teacher that her mum had had twins.
My finger is still very swollen. It seems like the antibiotics are not having any effect.
My teacher was happy with me today as I signed 'myself' and 'toilet' at appropriate times. She is trying to get me nod and shake my head but I can't quite figure that one.
This photo is from my first birthday.
love Rosie XX
dear Georgie,
Today I went to Holly's place and climbed onto her swing. I was able to use my feet to swing myself backwards and forwards. It was fun.
At school today I had speech lesson and music. When it is time to leave school I don't say 'bye' as I don't really want to leave.
I don't know why but I get given a lot of sheeps. Here is one on my hat and one on my school bag. I even have slippers with sheeps on as well.
Love Rosie XX
dear Yasmine,
Daddy arrived home this evening. I came in from my swimming lesson with Eleanor and there he was. My swimming lessons are going well. I can kick more now and move my arms. I still have to be held at the waist though.
Tonight I had to replace the batteries in my light doll. The one that TT gave me for my birthday. It sings me to sleep everynight but last night it stopped.
Thankyou for looking after me on Saturday night,
love Rosie XX
dear Johnny,
I have a very swollen little finger. The doctors doesn't know what it is. He said if I was old then it could be gout. It has now been xrayed and so we know it is not broken. It has been swollen for a week. I am going to start on antibiotics tomorrow.
Eleanor is looking after me this evening while mum has a break. I did really well in music therapy today. I like playing the piano, guitar and recorder. I hope you come an play guitar to me again soon,
lots of love Rosiepo XXX
Hi BJ,
Thankyou for having mum out for dinner. She had fun and liked watching 'the Princess Bride'. I got to have a lovely evening with Yasmine and Eleanor. In the morning Yasmine was still there and she wore the pink bunny ears for me all morning. However she doesn't know the pink bunny song. Yasmine hadn't seen me for ages and she thinks I am getting smarter because I can sign 'more' and 'toilet'.
Mum is rewarding me for saying 'o' on the EIEI O of old Macdonald's farm. I finally have got the idea and managed to get three pieces of licorice today.
love Rosie XXX
dear Grandma Stella,
Remember the piggy you gave me that sings 'my girl'. My teacher has one too and so I took mine to school and they both sang duet :)
I am sorry I didn't get to see you this year when I came up for my birthday. I hope you had a good time in Australia at Priscilla, Queen of the Dessert.
I am doing very well at school. I was allowed to walk to the supermarket to buy bread on Friday and on Monday I am part of a group that get to catch a bus and go to a cafe called 'Little Monkeys'. Sounds like my sort of cafe.
lots of love Rosiepo XX
