Veronika was really unsettled last night….I am not sure why, as she usually is a fantastic sleeper, which I am sure is one of the main reasons I am still sane….or mostly sane! She woke at 1am, not at all happy, screaming the house down(yes the boys slept through the noise), I settled her back down and put her back to bed, and she screamed again. This happened 4 or 5 times, by which point I decided rather than getting up and down every couple of minutes I would just put her into bed with me….

so this morning I was in a bit of go slow mode….was rather hard to get going this morning, but the alarm went off at 6am and my day ‘officially started’.

My brothers Jordan and Jakob help me open a gift

Nanna and Oma ordered me a custom-made jacket from Homemade James for my Birthday.

I am sitting here looking at the above photo, not only excited because Veronika knew straight away to open the wrapper, but she is using both hands. She doesn’t always use her left hand so beautifully…but this is extra special for me to see. And the ribbon was a hit to carry around this morning too!

Then we took the boys to school and went into town. Veronika spotted her babycino cup in the car as I was getting her out….and she signed ‘coffee’. So I asked her if she wanted a coffee, and she nodded….for those of you worrying I don’t really let her have coffee, she has a babycino.

So we went into Dr Coffee who must make one of the best coffee’s in town, and the staff are so lovely.

Then we wandered off up thru town, to  Veronika’s Occupational Therapy appointment. I didn’t know what to get her for her Birthday, as you would have read in a previous post…so I booked her a therapy session with her OT as its one of her favourite things to do. BUT today Miss Veronika was all out of sorts. Her OT hadn’t seen that side of her before….and yes she could tell there had been an unsettled night.

So after the therapy session we went to meet some friends at the Rivulet Cafe. Its is an awesome place to catch up with friends…..

Babycino time at Rivulet Cafe….that was one of 2 spoonfulls of her babycino she had!

After we had all had our coffee’s we went outside to the playground. The hit was the slide.

Veronika + slide =no fear, head 1st down the slide!

and of course there was swinging too!!!

What a great day….I still can’t believe that Veronika is 4, the past 4 years have gone way too fast.
