The days seem to be slipping by so quickly. My regular schedule has been changed a little in the past week, so I am back to forgetting what day it currently is. Eck.

On Tuesday at Caleb's therapy at the Royal Children's Hospital, Mel and Tim (the professionals in this story) took us to the other end of the building to a wee kitchen. Caleb made gingerbread cookies, following some instructions and ticking them off as they went. He mixed, he rolled the dough, he stamped the shapes all while keeping an eye out the window looking at the plethora of planes, trains, buses, cars, motorbikes and trucks - life couldn't get much better surely?

Of course in the middle of making all this (and it smelled deeee-vine!) Griffy had to pipe up and make himself heard . . . yep, that nasty lower end. After changing his entire outfit we came back down the hall smelling the gingerbread cooking.

The decorating was fun! Caleb squeezed the mickey out of the tubes of icing to decorate all the shapes. Mel and Tim decorated as well - I think they enjoyed the experience as much as Caleb. Supposedly Tim had been excited since the day before! Therapy has a wide range of activities!

Caleb got to take his prize cookies home. On a big plate. That sat on the floor next to him in the car. The big plate didn't actually have any grip for corners or braking. They flipped and jumped. Caleb giggled. I have been finding icing throughout the car since Tuesday. But the freshly baked gingerbread cookies rocked!

Tomorrow, after little miss Stubborn goes to kindy, Griffy and I head to little school for a meet and greet for the parents, teachers and kiddies. Caleb is pretty stocked that we are going in, no doubt all the kids will be psycho from showing off. Should be a big gathering - five teachers and assistants plus the therapists who come and go, the 14 students (gasp!) and parents. That is a huge preschool/pre-prep class with all different kids this year. Caleb's friends have moved on to Prep as they were a smidge older. These days he is making some new friends and having a great time. Will be nice to meet them all.

My aim is to get up early, put on the washing and bake an apple and raspberry bread ready to share at little school. It takes one hour to bake and the show starts at 9am . . . wish me luck!
