Annual update
It's been a while, I know. I have just been to Suzuki Conference with Patrick. It went very well. In his pre-cello classes he just runs around and doesn't do much, but at the conference he took part 50% of the time, and then 90% for the next three days. Quite a break through. He had never seen a child play an instrument before, and on the first day he asked for his own little cello!
He spent a lot of time trying to run away from me as I am sporting a foot injury and can't run. Scallywag!
So it has been a while, so what else has happened:
Patrick does swimming and kindagym and pre-cello, and two playgroups, and one day of childcare, and it is member of the zoo, aquarium, art gallery, Carlton Museum and Scienceworks. I think Sceinceworks is his second home. Hothoused? No, I don't believe in hothousing...
Since moving I have been invited to join a new mother's group, so Patrick and I have some great new friends. We meet once a week, as well as the above mentioned activities.
Patrick is also unweaned, untoilet-trained and has uncut hair. I will rectify all these things before he starts school, promise.
My sister is in Aussie again, and my wonderful mother is still cycling and teaching grandparents to spite being diagnosed with terminal cancer a year ago. All our lives changed for ever, there is before and after diagnosis.
Hubby has lost so much weight cycling that he doesn't need the CPAC machine: he now weights less than me (?##%&^*!).
I am very pleased for him. He looks like the man I first fell in love with, rather than the man I married.... (hands off girls, he's mine!)
Still don't have a dog in the new house.
Still working once a week for half a day.
And I have started playing cello! It is a lot of fun, when I get time to practise that is! I've played viola for thirty years so it is time for a change.
I have not been to my old orchestra for over six months, I am thinking of starting a local orchestra in my area.
