The Husband turned 25 and we got for him some sparkly new shoes for church - long over due, his old ones have been talking for quite sometime now. We had an awesome roast lamb dinner and baked cheesecake to celebrate with a bit of sparkling grape juice too.
Ava-Ruby turned 6 and my big sister put on a spectacular desert table for this quirky gorgeous girl of hers.
Myself, Still having dramas with my new plate, and the tooth breaking off. Which sucks BIG time. I have been reading up on the Internet and I'm too old to register under the medicare Australia cleft lip and cleft palate scheme. With any luck, I'll hopefully be able to go to my orthodontist in New Zealand to get all the work done under the publicly funded health and disability services scheme there.
My beautiful sweet quiet Taylah-benet was bullied at school. She is such a sweet girl it broke my heart to hear that two little boys were being mean to her in the playground calling her names. Taylah-benet is not one to initiate playing with any other kids so unless they come and get her and play with her - she'll just wander alone doing her own thing quietly. In class she sits next to a little boy named Ilhan {ill-han} , and because she sits next to him and knows him, she tends to follow him around if she sees' him in the playground. He doesn't seem to return the friendship to her. I spoke to her teacher today - she is lovely - and she's going to sort those boys out. {he's also apparently the one that taught Taylah-benet what the 'F' word is!}
I am looking forward to hearing from my brother inlaw really soon and having TWO new neices! yes TWINS - how cool is that... Good Luck Hayley Xx
Sorry to hear that Taylah-Benet has been bullied. I dread that with my own kids, the boys probably think she is cute because she is TOTALLY cute and at that age it's a game of tease the girl you like! Sad and silly. I always laughed at the picture that said "boys are stupid throw rocks at them." When she is older and won't actually act on that advice maybe you can show it to her ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha I haven't seen that picture but it sounds great! It deffinatly was a sad realisation for me that I can't protect her from everything, and quite likly these are things we all experience and need to experience to learn and grow. A sad realisation because all I want to do is protect her sweet childlike innocence. a hard lesson to learn as a parent :(
DeletePoor Taylah:( It can help you learn and grow, but too much can hinder and hurt, so I hope the teacher did a good job at putting a stop to it. I totally understand how you feel. It's scary sending our babies out in to the big bad world. But what we teach them in our homes will help them prepare and face anything that comes their way. I talk to Israel everyday about how his day went, And not just school work but who he played with, what they played, was anyone mean...everything! I find I learn alot from doing that. And he learns he can tell me anything...at least I hope that's what he's learning haha.
