November 2011 Updates: Making Close Contact

Alma helps with the whole process of doing the laundry and gets help from her trusty assistant

Alma participates enthusiastically in the Mainly Music Playgroup

(here wearing a new outfit from grandma Eti)

And after a session on a VERY hot day, chilled out in Concord with Natan and

Hamutal at a cafe.

Here is Alma with close friends Alana and her mum Maria, and Jemima and her mum Emily (who is one of the group’s leaders).

We have both thoroughly enjoyed our Mondays with this group, the people have

been fabulously welcoming.

Alma had a blast at Gymbaroo, where she enjoyed the theme of toys.

The little dare devil leading her friends

adventure trail... (top left)

Both girls and mums have enjoyed the Penguins class

Alma has a great time at the playground before

picking up Hahgoot and LOVES to plunge head first down the pipe slide,

giggling all the way down!

On a rainy morning we stayed with Hayden and Cullum while Trudy took the girls to school. Their house is

under massive renovations (they are building a second floor) and as there was no roof the ceiling was leaking!

Alma didn’t care about the leaking water, she actually loves to get wet!

Here she is enjoying the shower head’s sprinkle while the bath fills up.

Bath time is a time of action and fun, non-stop!

In the middle you can see Alma taking apart all the bath floor’s coverings as she saw me move one and then she had to try them all,

to Hahgoot’s horror. Have I mentioned she has really strong hands?

Alma not only asks to go to sleep when she is tired, she is also proactive and puts herself to rest,

with the appropriate gear...

In our next presentations:

December Updates, which will leave us crying, laughing and

looking forward to 2012!
