After Tina's blueberry ice-block
Posing for Mum
A carefully placed school bag (her choice of attire)

Selah wanted lots of hairclips in today :)

Selah was very busy at kindergarten on her first day without Mum/Dad visiting with her. Her painting at the easel is as follows: "This is a bumblebee with a tail on it's bum and a poo coming out it's bum". Hopefully that is the description of what it looks like after she's drawn it (which I can see what she's saying) as opposed to pre-thinking of bee poo...



Her first carpentry experience also left no fingers damaged - phew!

Selah using her imagination...

Selah has mastered the mouse and thanks to Elmo, can click and drag and create drawings and such without Mum's help. Yay! Next touch typing and she can update this blog herself seeing as I'm getting slacker ;)



I'm taking Selah for an allergy test tomorrow. She seems to have hayfever (sore eyes, runny nose, general malaise) and antihistamines definitely work to lessen all of these, but I want to know what it is she's allergic to to see if we can desensitise her or make sure she's on the right antihistamine and right dose to make life more enjoyable. Poor sausage 3rd day without antihistamine today and her nose is red and raw from wiping her streaming nose. She had an unsettled night last night so I can't wait to give her more antihistamine tomorrow after the test!

Some sad news from TEAR Fund yesterday that our sponsor girl April and her community were affected by the second typhoon that hit the Philipines. It makes it alot closer to home in a sense -you can see tragedy when you hear it on the news, but it makes it all the more personal because our April is possibly going hungry and scared with her family.

Selah had a butterfly birthday to mark her 3rd birthday - butterfly cake at the park Saturday, butterfly creek monday, actual birthday Tuesday... she keeps declaring with independence that she wants to xyz because she's a big girl now. Unfortunately she wanted to wear undies to bed night 'because she's a big girl now' and that was a bit troublesome so we've now learned a few things she isn't big enough for...
Mummy and Selah on the slide at the park - Selah likes to climb up the slide then slam into Mum at the bottom


She will start afternoon kindy 2 afternoons in November so that's exciting - time flies and she'll be off to school in no time!

Ambury farm with friends
We baked a cake for baby Emily (not the real baby Emily, the one in the picture) and had a 1st birthday for her. She's probably more like 2years old but we felt like chocolate cake. Well, I did and Selah just wanted the 'ice'.
