Holly was so keen to go to school, but this morning she was quite nervous. Once she saw her friends though it was all good, and she off like a shot. They all chatted animatedly about their new bags, shoes, haircuts and Holly had made little paper flowers for her best friends so they were all agog about that too.
It is nice to be back at school – as much as it is such a task to get her ready and out the door, she loves it and I love seeing her blossom and learn. She is a marvel.
I don’t know where I am or what is going on – I’m living in the Fran bubble and I feel that I have missed the world going by this past week. So much has been happening that my head is spinning. It has been a whirlwind of ultrasounds, braces off, specialist appointments, doctor’s appointments, back to school, sleepless nights and kids coming and going. I don’t even know where to begin to note it all down here. So I won’t!
Let’s look at some pictures instead!
This is Amy in her cot peeking over the top of the side bar. She looked so cute with big eyes that I had to take a pic. She got the braces off on Friday and is still trying to get used to having so much movement. When I put her on the floor she pushes herself all around. I jsut went into the lounge room and could hear her but couldn’t see her. She was all the way under the couch!
This is me trying to feed her, but Amy being a big sticky beak and looking all around.
Amy’s first swim. She quite liked it. Note new SHORT haircut. I said I wanted short but not THAT short. This makes Jessica Rowe look like Rupunzel. However, as my Dad says “There’s only a week between a good and bad haircut”. Let’s hope that is the truth.
All the girls in the pool. Holly went up another level in swimming lessons and both are just improving so much it is astonishing. I’m loving having a quiet swim in the evening and have even been known to have the odd skinny dip. Don’t worry – it is totally enclosed, so no chance of freaking out the neighbours with a peep show!
