This week has been a very busy but exciting week. As you know, Girl Child finally got over the chicken pox and managed to return to school for the last 3 days of Year 1. She was so excited to go back to school she was completely ready to leave at 6.30 am on Wednesday. She got to hand out Christmas cards and say goodbye to her friends and her teachers. I had 3 days of freedom and even managed to do most of the Christmas shopping. Plus I got a haircut and even had some foils put in.
Boy Child finished Year 6. It’s the end of his Primary School Life, next year he starts High School. He is growing up so fast! The graduation was on Thursday morning and Boy Child received an Academic Excellence Award. We are very proud.
Thursday evening there was and Year 6 graduation Dinner and Disco. Boy Child went. He had fun with his friends, danced and ate roast beef! Yes that’s right the boy, who has basically subsisted on nutella sandwiches and chicken nuggets and chips since he was 3, ate roast beef. Scary, huh?
Even better than that it was the third day in a row that he had eaten foods out of his comfort zone. Now he tried sausages back in October at a Birthday party (so he wouldn't upset the hosts by not eating) and he ate hot dogs at home here. This week he ate two sausages for dinner on Tuesday, tried steak on Wednesday, apparently ate 3 sausages at a school sausage sizzle on Thursday and then ate roast beef at his graduation dinner. OMG!!! I am so very proud of him. This year he has tried a huge (for him) number of new foods – pizza, carrots, blueberries, watermelon, strawberries, sausages, frankfurts and steak. Now some of those he doesn't like but the majority he has actually liked the taste of and is willing to try or again and for some even eat on a regular basis. Go Boy Child! We love you very much and are so impressed that you have tried new things. Oh yes, and for finishing Primary school and getting an Academic Excellence Achievement Award.

Pizza as a new food? Wow, I thought they served that fresh in the womb?
Oh wow, E, congratulations. How exciting that boy child is branching out - I can't believe he's tried so many! And obviously, congratulations on the Academic Excellence Award, you must be very proud. And finally, hurrah on the end of Chicken Pox - horrid things that they are! Hope you have a lovely lead up to Christmas and a wonderful festive season xxx
Wow, what a superb end to his school year! You must be so proud (and relieved) to see him at least try new foods, what an achievement of him. And fantastic to hear the CP cleared up for Girl Child to go and join in for the last 3 days.
