Dynamic Drumming

dear Bill


I went to drumming again this week. I am still just watching the other kids do it most of the time. At half time we played a game... last week it was that you tag someone, they have to jump up and chase you round the circle. You try to get to their chair first. This week was a different game but I decided that I liked last weeks better and so I just kept playing that one regardless.

I took daddy swimming on Wednesday (mummy is away at Grandad/Grandmas). Someone told him that I had the X factor (but I don't think they meant like Johnny Ruffo) and another said that I was an 'exotic flower'. Hmmmm


hope to see you soon,


loves

Sap

dear Briony, 

It is so nice to have you coming back round to see me this year. I don't mind how ever many years you want to keep studying as long it is in the same city that I live in. You know I'm growing up, but I think I'd still like to go to Junglerama this year and then there is the StarJam monthly meetings. But it is also okay for us to just hangout at home sometimes and listen to music.

Can you see the spirits trapped in the drops above? 

lots of love

Magic Moments

dear M and M's


Thankyou so much for dinner tonight. I love bruschetta and tiramisu. It was so really nice to see you again. I'm hoping I get to come to the warehouse and see the brewery and also come out one Sunday. 


In January Carolyn and Bevan got married. When I saw the photos I could hardly even recognise Carolyn but I could see the chocolate cake :) 


lots of love

Hi Ria, 

thats nice that you read my blog :) 


I miss you all during the day but I'm also enjoying my new class as well. 


My teacher has made a new game for me on the interactive white board, where I click on my photo and then I have to virtually take a pen and draw along the road from my cartoon picture to the house. Then once I've done that I get to press on the letters of my name and they are spoken out loud and then I get to turn to a page with musical instruments on it. Each one I press makes the sound of that instrument. It is very exciting. 


lots of loves

Dynamic Drumming

Hi Carolyn,

Last night I went to my first dynamic drumming workshop as a Star Jammer. I went to Johnsonville first to MacDonalds and then to the Community Centre. There were 6 Jammers and parents. I sat down nicely and just watched for ages to see how it all works. Then when it was time for a solo, I didn't really get what was happening and I had been asked to go first. However after a couple of other kids had done their solos, I entered enthusiastically into mine without even having to be asked :) Everybody clapped. And one father even said 'I thought this was a workshop for amateurs'.

Daddy took this photo of me last year.. and you and I know that I've done quite a lot of drumming.

hope you are well today and I see you this evening.

lots of love

Social Smoking

dear U. Jon,

thankyou for showing me how to do smoking. I had learned years ago from watching G. Stella and then Matt.. but it was good to remember again. This is me at Cable Bay Vineyard, waiting for Grandma, Grandad and Jenny to finish their wine tasting.

Happy Birthday Daddy

dear Daddy,

Happy 66th Birthday for yesterday. I love helping out in the garden with you and I love learning to boogie board. I do want to complain that I got made to walk 3km with Sabian. It was so tough and one km was up a hill. I know you think they just expect too much of me.

That was a yummy BBQ we had with the steaks and sausages. I wish I hadn't eaten so many cheerios before hand on pre-dinner. I would have had more room. Though I did notice there didn't seem to be a steak for me even though the boys had one.

love you lots

Christmas time

dear U. Jon,


Thankyou for coming up here before Xmas to play with me. I love using headphones to listen to music on your laptop while you are working on it. I do like going on the Rosie Walk with you even if I protest at the time and I like helping with the painting and climbing ladders.
look forward to seeing you at the family party.. soon.
lots of love
