Often there are puzzles on the tables when the children arrive at preschool. Asher started playing with some this morning and so I encouraged her to give these a try. In the past she would not even want to look at puzzles that didn't have a border - so I was thrilled when she got into it.
It was lovely to have her building these puzzles at home today too. It's a huge breakthrough for her.
Wednesday 10th: We had Michelle and Seth join us for breakfast this morning on their way back home. It was a very short visit as they had a ferry to catch and we all had places to be. I left by 8 with Asher for Champion Centre and they gave the girls a lift to school a little later. Even though such a short visit, it was good to get that little bit of time together and they were especially loved by Asher who gave them loads of attention before we left.
It was wonderful to have the Champion Centre pick up on Asher's love for Dora (and her new puzzle building ability). Jackie had this puzzle for her today which she enjoyed. I can see she will get really good at puzzle building.
Friday 12th: Ruth came home with a certificate today. Well done Ruth. They had planned an assembly for last week Friday (which I would have attended) but then school was closed because of the snow. So again - I missed taking a photo at assembly of it being awarded. I am yet to get a picture of the girls receiving one. :-)
Saturday 13th ended up a really rough day for Asher. It started at 5am with a 1 minute Tonic Clonic. Then at 6:30 she had another Tonic Clonic, this time 1 1/2 minutes. We didn't wait till 7am to give her morning meds but just gave them now. Only after this second seizure did she start coughing - so I knew it was illness that was causing these. It's always a worry in times like this that she will end up with a really big cluster.
Just before midday she had a 1 min Toni Clonic (not long before needing her next dose of meds). And then again at 6pm (just an hour and a bit before her evening dose) she had another 1 minute Tonic Clonic.
Hezekiah spend the day sleeping on Saturday. He had a fever too and was complaining of a sore tummy. Thankfully a warm bean bag helped ease that pain. It's always a tricky when there is a fever and pain. I was pleased I could help ease the pain but still allow his fever to do it's job.
Hannah has not liked fish since we stopped buying crumbed fish (when we went off gluten) but I have finally started crumbing fish myself (with our own gluten free bread crumbs). Everyone expect Hezekiah just loves the crumbed fish - so Rachel and I are kept busy regularly crumbing fish for the family.
Sunday 14th: Rachel had a ballet exam practice at the exam venue this morning. We had thought about going into town in two cars again and meeting at church, but as Asher and Hezekiah were still sick, it was only Rachel and I that headed out.
I couldn't watch while she was doing the practice, so I got some shopping done while I waited. She had a great session on her pointe shoes (doing all 3 dances) and it was a great boost to her confidence. Her exam is finally set for Sunday 28th - just 2 weeks away.
Asher is extra cuddly when she is unwell, so Ruth enjoyed the extra cuddles today.
