December 2008
Birthday and Christmas
Jasper making an amazing scissor feather ornament for the tree and Sequoia discovering the joys of glitter glue!
Working together they were adorable!!
in the first week of December they decorated the tree all by themselves!
Sequoia turned two on December 8th. It has been such a big year of watching her grow and change from such a tiny prem to this boisterous two year old. She couldn't hear much for most of the year and didn't speak, but in October had surgery to insert grommets into both ears and driving home from the hospital sang to the radio for the first time EVER! Since grommets she has talked more and more and is now telling us what, where, when and how for everything. It has made such a big difference to her moods and also her general pain threshold and balance, she doesn't fall over or topple the way she did, and she doesn't hold her ears and cry or bang her head on the floor anymore, hooray!
For her birthday we had a family lunch. We were going to have a little party for her little girlfriends but that couldn't happen in the end, but mother's group happened to be at our house that week which was fortunate so we made that into a little celebration.
Pass the parcel in the living room, cake on the deck and Ring'o'rosies in the back garden.

Mum and I spent hours decorating cupcakes as her celebration birthday cake.
Family lunch on the deck
Great grandmother Malihe with Sequoia
Great grandma and great uncle with Sequoia
Baba (Zoran's mother) and Sequoia
Jasper had a last day of school singing performance with much wriggling and giggling!
Here is j with his preschool posse!
And Sequoia wanting to be a big kid too!
AND because it is summer mother's group all decided to go camping. It was so much fun, the four of us in our little two man tent. Alan and Daniella brought their canoe which everyone loved and the best bit - we were only twenty minutes by car from home in the local river reserve!
This year I made a gingerbread house as a fundraising night for preschool and the kids had great fun with the hammer breaking it up and eating it!
Christmas. Mum and Jessi and Supratim came to stay. It was a special christmas as two days after christmas Jess and Sup flew to india to get married!!!
