Sequoia is loving imaginative play, babies are dressed, walked and "creamed", food is pretend made and pretend eaten and everyone is given a voice.
They both love the computer and the baby and preschool games and sites are a real hit. Jasper does spelling games and lego games, and sequoia navigates playschool.
Halloween.
The kids went trick or treating.
Jasper's costume was great as this Dracula Wizard combo, and as he had plaster casts on his legs, it just added to the costume! So I spent a day sewing capes, painting singlet tops and making skirts and wings. Sequoia went as a moth and we picked up Chloe who was dressed as a witch to go to a Halloween get together and them trick or treating along the street.
They all had such a great time!!
Jasper's feet relapsed in August and he started casts in October, going into hospital once a week for cast changes and foot manipulation. He was great through it all, although it meant there was lots that he couldn't do. The first casts were all the way up to the tops of his thighs and he had a walking frame as movement was hard. The later ones were just to the knees so he could move around much more in them. When they came off in December he had a lot of muscle atrophy so walking was painful, but now, in early Feb he is almost back to normal and we see his surgeon in 6 weeks for a reassessment. it has been a big six months but hopefully he feet will be better behaved for him now! He wears a brace at night for 13 hours and will for the next year.
Water play was attemped with me stickytaping garbage bags over J's legs and his casts fitting into Daddy's plastic garden shoes!
Kelly was great with Jasper and he was so brave, here she is using the fibreglass saw to cut off casts - he was the only boy who laughed while all the other kids screamed!
In November Zoran grew a mustache for the month
The kids out for dinner with Tanya (my mum) and Zoran and I to celebrate Mum's birthday.
Evening play...
And a book with nana,
And finally the weather is getting warmer so we made it to the beach, which I have missed so much.
Hopefully this is just the first of many sandcastles this summer, now that Jasper is out of casts!
