We have been back in Australia for just under a week and back in Brisbane for a little over a day now. In that week I worked in Townsville for Shark Bait Kids. It was fabulous, really. It was a great effort from all people involved and it was incredible the amount of work that went into it. We made it to several different media and may increase the number of volunteers in Townsville by the program alone. It is fabulous to be a part of a program like this and it is consistently an honour to work with the therapists that I work with. Levi was great too. He was looked after by my nephew Sam and spent the evenings surprising everyone by just where he could fall asleep.
We were both lagged and it was stretching his tolerance but he did an admirable job of holding out until it really was night time before going to sleep. At dinner one night he fell asleep at the pub just before his dinner arrived. He was so tired that I just lay him on the floor of the pub while we ate dinner. The next time he woke it was morning!
Today was the first day of Grade 1 for Levi. He is with Luke but not the rest of the gang and I think that it is a good thing. It is really good to mix it around and let him make a bunch of friends in different years. It gives him a deeper pot so to speak. He was all pissy when he got home because he wasn't allowed to go and play outside because he didn't have a hat. I had neglected to find it before school and in the microsecond that I had before that. Poor kid. I might have to buy him another. At the moment it is just too hard to find anything, let alone a hat and his chair bag. Oh well, bad parent award again!!
