Kindnesses

dear Gael,

Here is my school report from today.. and Daddy report :)

"Rosie has done some lovely group work today, being kind to her friends, waiting her turn and sharing well. She did some great work in fine motor group and signed along to the songs beautifully. She participated really well in music therapy. Grooming and langauage group this afternoon."

The very old samoan lady who replaces Soi came again today. Rosie is lovely with her - she takes ages to walk up our steps - and Rosie waits for her at every landing and holds her hand."

The photo is Chelle and Roger... Chelle is mummy's american sister and Roger is her husband.

looking forward to seeing you at my party,

love

Raccoons

dear U. Jon,

Mummy sent me this of the raccoons in the tree at Chelle's place. You can stand on the front porch and try and take shots. It is very difficult as they sleep most of the day and they live very high up in the tree. Mummy spent a lot of money on a longer lens so she could try and see them :)

I'm sorry you can't make it to my party but I'll see you in the winter holidays.

lots of loves

Cincinatti in the Sunshine

dear mummy,

I hope you have a nice visit all the way in Cincinatti. I wish I was going to see Cassie. But I'll look after Daddy while you are gone and Stef is here as well for a couple of weeks.

Tiana thinks I can go to tennis lessons with the adaptive tennis class that is starting and that it just needs Daddy to come along as well to chase the balls. That sounds fun.

I'm looking forward to my birthday party. I got to hand out the invitations at school yesterday.... and people seem excited.

lots of loves

Bye Bye Julian

dear Julian


It was awesome that you came to see me this week and brought your friend. I will miss you. I will miss our walk each day and someone to play rockets with. And someone to turn on Fireman Sam for me when I can't figure it out. Also when you are here we get a lot more icecream than normal. 


lots of loves

Baking failures

dear Eleanor,


today is not a good bread day. Corey made bubble bread dough yesterday but he didn't put the yeast in! So we tried to revive the dough later with yeast mixture and left overnight. It was baked this morning and is revolting. We will take it to the roosters retirement village. The mummy made a gingerbread cake and put the batter in a spring form pan. When she went to pick it up the bottom fell out and there was a disgusting mess all over the stove top, the front of the oven and the floor. Just enough was saved to make half a cake but it is very moist (soggy) and will be best with icecream tonight.

Boating

dear Mummy, 


Happy Birthday for last Friday. Sorry about not getting you a present part from the hugs and kisses. Love the photos of Julian taking me boating. It is so much fun having him and Corey here for the week. I like having different breads they make each day... so far.. bagels, donuts, bubble bread and soon chocolate bread and basil and foccacia sticks. 


love you

Happy Easter

dear A. Soi, 


Thankyou for your txt this morning. I got to lie in bed and then Easter bunny brought up packet of chocolate marshmallow eggs up. I really didn't like him... so I pushed him away.. but managed to get the eggs in any case. 


U. Jon is here and last night he played guitar and we all sang songs. 


hope you are having a lovely easter day. 


lots of loves and hugs

Woolf photography

dear Grandma and Grandad,

This was taken by Simon Woolf. He took a few shots and one of them will be in a coffee table book that will be produced to celebrate the centenary of Wellington Hospital. I really loved being in a studio and kept asking Mr Woolf to take 'more' and 'more' photos. 

I hope you are having a fun time in the Chathams. 

lots of love

Shaami and Umaira, congratulations

dear Shaami and Umaira

How exciting to see baby. He is so beautiful and happy looking. Please send me more photos. Maybe one day he will come to visit New Zealand and I can teach him how to swim. I am swimming 5 times a week now. Three times with mummy, one time with school and then my swimming lesson on Sunday mornings. 

lots and lots of congratulations

Leolie and Arlo

dear Leolie, 


It was so exciting to meet Arlo on Saturday when you came to the railway station. It was fun having mummy take photos of you both and me being the assistant. It was really nice of you to bus in in the rain.


I am really looking forward to seeing Arlo and you again soon, 


lots of love
