Tadpole eggs

It rained... hard last coupla days and I left the laundry thingy outside. So in the morning, there were water droplets nicely decorating all the rungs. Bryan looked at them in awe and suddenly motioned me over and told me there were "tadpole eggs hanging there". Sometimes I marvel the way his mind thinks....

Pleased As Punch

Some nights are not so cold anymore, so I dug out the spring/summer clothes out. Caitlyn has had the chance to wear her Ratatouille jammies before and now she's so happy to wear them. Her school has book week every year and she chose this Pokemon book to read. Here she is with her double happiness!

Seeing the book, Bryan went in to Deoxy pose too! This is him posing like the character on the front cover of the book... see? BTW, you see the pile of clothes behind Caitlyn? My "to-iron" pile. Time to haul my derrier to do some ironing............

Timing So Right!

For me, the kids' term holidays are so aptly timed that I think I am almost "there" with the lack of quality sleep. Need some sleeping-in time. Of course, they'll be with me 24/7 for the next 2 weeks... Have to start planning activities for them. 2 poles-apart- kids and just one of me. There's so much to be done as well at home.... cleaning, ironing, daily cooking.... I wish I had a maid again. Bryan has the most homework, compared to Caitlyn, although he's only in Kindy. The Speech Pathologist gives him 2 new books every 2 weeks to read. So every day, he has the 2 books to read PLUS his Kindy book. Other than that, he needs to work on his fingers dexterity, so I've bought him his favourite BEN 10 soft rugby ball for him to play catch with. I've decided to do OT on him myself and save the money from hiring an OT for him. So far, knock on wood, he doesn't have any emotional or behaviour issues, to I'm keeping the Psych at bay.. they cost an arm, a leg and a spleen.

Any readers who has experience working with, or has a child with ASD, do drop me a line, would like to get to know you and share ideas.

My Brain is Fried!

Had an awesome time yesterday during Pre-start. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's basically a meeting with the builder to go through every nitty gritty detail of the building plans, choosing from tapware, to basins, toilet bowls to shower roses, benchtops/kitchen tops to kitchen sinks... EVERYTHING.... It was really fun because so far we've bought established, renovated, rented but never built. But rest assured, this is JUST the beginning of a series of headaches. So far we've chosen the colour plans and now the innards. Next will be flooring, painting and lastly electricals. There will sure be many things missing or we realise that we need.... oh yes.. laundry lines, etc... but these will all come in after the house if built. Is it exciting or what? So for now, it's still a flat piece of land in Harrisdale with lots of weeds sprouting on it. Will do a before, during, more of during and after in the blog. Sit tight!

Tomorrow Important Day

Tonight will sleep early so that tomorro I'll be alert and fresh to attend Pre-start. THat would mean Bryan missing his Big Chimp gym class and I have to put him in Occasional Child care for the few hours while we attend the meeting with the builder. Will post some pictures of the stuff we choose for the new house.

Lots of things to do these days. I'm in the filing and throwing stuff away mode. Nesting syndrome?
