Freya 20.12.11
Freya had difficulty saying goodbye but settled very quickly as we searched for mushrooms
and played fetch with Roxy – soon Freya was asking to play with Ahliah and our
day had begun with cooking in the cubby.
We came inside for baking – more yummy Christmas cookies – Freya and Ahliah were very
good at sharing and resisted putting their fingers into the tasty cookie bowl!
Freya was talking happily.
As we were finishing off, Tshinta and baby Amani came in to visit. I could see Freya has
become much more comfortable with their presence; as she smiles at Tshinta and
brings toys for Amani. At one stage we were all down on all fours trying to
encourage Amani to crawl.
We did some colouring for our midday activity and folded the paper into a small cookie box.
Freya was most delighted to fill it up and take it home.
Today I saw a talkative, questioning and happy Freya. Over the year I have seen Freya's confidence and life skills grow, she has an amazing memory and a wonderful connection with language, speaking and singing though our morning circle as she learns the content quickly.
21.12.11
Today Freya arrived happy and well. I had some chalk ready and we quickly set out to colour
the front path.
It was a lot of fun as colours were shared and patterns drawn.
Soon the game moved on and Freya was picking flowers and enjoying the company
of Roxy and Ahliah. Next a pile of sand became the item of interest and before
we knew it morning tea time had arrived.
We filled our tummies and played inside. Freya did some building, read books to Ahliah and
played on the rocking horses. It has been lovely to finish off with a nice
'quite' couple of days with just Ahliah and Freya – they are very relaxed and
really have been enjoying each others company. It's been magical watching their
relationship grow with the confidence they have given each other.
We finished the day outside amongst the garden and animals. At rest time I told a story
about a little boy Rory who would start pre-school after the long summer
holidays: It turns out all the things he has been practising with Mirianna (his
carer) are the same things he will do at pre-school, like cooking, morning
walks, meal times, painting and so on. I realised then Freya has a wonderful
head start as she knows some of the routines and songs.
Thank you for all your support and trust.
