Oonaisms

Oona has a logical answer for everything. If I ask, "why is Kiefer cranky?", she says, "because his teeth are coming in." If I say, what's wrong with the DVD, she says. "It's skipping. you have to blow on it like this ( and she demonstrates) and then clean it round and round ( and she demonstrates)."Here is Oona running in the park next to the flowers after swimming where it says "Keep Off the Grass." Oona can swim. Especially on her back. She kicks and moves very quickly across the surface of the water. Am getting the hang of the routine and getting more comfortable with everything. S and A phoned and said the scenery, food and especially the Arabian horses are wonderful and responsive. Oona told them in a very pouty tone ( she didn't cry) that they could only be away for ONE day.

Day One and Two

Yes! these really are azalia bushes blooming on the way to the park! Daffodils and tulips too. But the last two days have been quite chilly and require a coat. Kiefer is heavy! I was so happy that he is not mobile just yet but now wish otherwise as I carry him up and down the stairs. Nimfa who came today is very petite. I don't know how she is able to carry him.  We had a very busy day even though Nimfa was here. She cooks and cleans and tidies and feeds Kiefer. Oona hardly eats anything but has all the energy in the world. She wheeled around the Paddington Rec track about four times on her bike. We flop on the couch after dinner  and watch videos.

Tired.

Orientation for Me

Arrived this morning, had a nap while Sonja and Alex and Kiefer took Oona to a fairy themed birthday party for her friend Jasmine. Here is Oona in her pink sparkly fairy shoes. She was not ready for a photo shoot so this is the best we could manage for the camera.  Have been preparing for next weeks schedule by listening to Sonja and trying to commit to memory a spreadsheet type list of activities, food preferences and sleep schedules   - pheww - I think-Yes I can! Oona already has shown me how to correctly load the soap into the dishwasher. All Kiefer wants to do is stand up, hold your two hands and toddle. Thank goodness he is  not mobile just yet as he stays in one spot if you sit him down and surround him with toys. But it won't be long before he is off and running.
