September+2016

The four and a half year old has arrived! Esther had her first school disco - went in her supergirl outfit and danced the whole time (well in between eating lollies and asking to buy flashing rings). She has started ballet class and loves it, she has a good friend from pre-school who attends and they are both very cute in their leotards and sparkly skirts. While she is the youngest in the class she does pretty well keeping up with the 6 and 7 yr olds, pointing her toes and skipping along. Judith is very interested and likes to watch through the glass. This month we had the pleasure of a 'Rainforest' presentation at pre-school - where Esther was a seed pod, a butterfly and a wallaby - plus telling us about various vines and emergent trees. She is enjoying practicing writing her letters and sounding out the start of words. Father's Day was lots of fun at a minaature railway - Puppy was the soft toy of choice for that day! She also had fun meeting up with cousin Juna and Uncle Jay and Auntie Lauren in Merimbula.
