Back from Sydney



We had another great week in Sydney and this time mum got to join us..... the weather was good enough for swimming and we were even there (right on Manly Beach) for the big dust storm, yet I didn't think to take any photos?!??! you all know what it looked like anyway...

Aaron had lots of appointments with his OT which were of great benefit and also got to see the Pead so we could discuss some of his behaviours at the moment.... he's getting a bit OCD in some areas... apparently kids "like him" can have some of these tendencies so we've just got to keep an eye on it and let them know if things get any worse.... and as usual Regan enjoyed hanging out at the school ..... I tell you what these guys are worth their weight in gold...

so... between appointments and school we got to go and watch this....



it's been a while since I've had a good laugh at on of the kids cartoons but this had quite a few good ones in it..

all out 'stuff' finished on Thur but mum didn't fly out till Fri so we got a hotel in the heart of ( well sort of the throat of) the city and spent Friday madly seeing as much as we could..... it started with a bit of school so I could get our stuff into the car, then a swim at Manly before heading to the hotel.. then we walked down to Paddys markets...through China Town ... into the Japanese gardens .... to the parks at Darling Harbour ..... to the other end of DH so we could catch the monorail .....back off the monorail (thank you to the great big Maori boys that were so nice to Aaron even though he was obviously scared of you)... and a walk back to the hotel..... Hugh Day...





The kids got these done at the markets by an old bloke called Joe.... I'm sure he was the same guy that did mine at Darling Harbour when I was about 20....still going strong.... the kidds absolutely loved watching him and proudly hung them up as soon as they got home.





Till later...
