20TH JUNE, 2007

5th June 2007
Mu is starting to pronounce her letters with more clarity. She can now say 'y' as in yo-yo. As she's been saying lellow for a while, I've been encouraging her to say 'yellow' and she is very proud that she can now say it, and said to me "Auntie Dinnar, I can now say yellow plopperly."

22nd May 2007
Mu saw some birds with long legs (can't think what they really are) outside her pre-school and said "that looks just like a menu". Took me a while to figure out she meant an emu. What a crack-up! Oh, and we don't have emus that close to pre-school.

29th March 2007
I asked Soraya what she did before the school bell in the morning.
Oh, she said I just talk to the parents.
Oh, what about your friends? I said.
I have no friends.
Why not? I said.
Because I'm a sanguine.

20th March 2007
AD: Soraya, would you like some pink yogurt?
Soraya: No, thanks. I only eat Amway yogurt that we make ourself.
AD: Oh, really, you don't eat this. (Showing her with the spoon).
Soraya (quickly changing mind): Oh, I'll have one of those.

15th January 2007
Mr Bruce turned 50 so we went to the club with Lauren, Michael and Aalya. Lauren asked Aalya where she got her beautiful dress. Aalya said "my wardrobe".
6th January 2007
Aalya was looking at a picture on a packet of pull-up nappies. There was a picture of a child. She asked me if he was wearing pyjamas, and then she said "no, I think he's wearing his wake-up clothes."

December 2006

At the end of year presentation, Soraya received an award for Excellence in Reading.

Aalya graduated to the Whales Room after being in the Dolphin's Room. Children in the Whales Room don't wear nappies, there she's a big girl.

Pretty good to get a certificate to an event you didn't end up going to!
