Amy's Big Day.

It was Amy's turn to celebrate her 8th birthday today. She really wanted a new bath towel, and was thrilled to find a Strawberry Shortcake towel among her gifts. There were also some lovely hair ties, and some beautifully warm fleecy winter pyjamas.

The Winner's Day Out.

The kids have been working hard in the competition for the "tidiest room" award.
Brad and Landon won the boy's award and Helen, Lyn and Amy won the competition among the girls.
The five children celebrated with a trip to KFC for lunch and shopping adventure at Walmart.
Each child had Rmb10 to spend - which is about $1.50, and much time was taken over what to spend their money on!
Once the decisions were made, we made a dash for the checkout, before they could change their minds ......... again!

Ruby's Day.

Ruby turned 5 today. She really liked the celebration, and really enjoyed the sounds her new xylophone made.

Pure delight.

Oliver turned 9 on Friday and boy was he happy! As soon as we arrived at the House, he was there making himself known in no uncertain terms, that it was his special day. He thoroughly enjoyed his celebration with the other children in the Unit.

Sitting back relaxing!

Lexi & Cassie were just sitting back relaxing on Friday after they had their new casts put on. The children need to stay in the stroller until the casts are dry, but this is considered a treat, as they don't get to go in the stroller otherwise!

Tina turns 16!

Tina celebrated her 16th birthday this week with the other children in the CP/Residential Unit. She was so excited, she needed help to blow out her candles after attempting to blow them out a couple of times herself! She enjoyed her gifts, but is looking forward to getting her ears pierced in the coming weeks.

Zac & Benjamin

Benjamin's next cast went on easily, and Zac's feet were in a position to be able to do his tenotomy, which almost brings him to the end of the treatment stage.
