Md - yes, I did aspirate during the procedure. Voice back to normal now, but it was probably affected for about 10 days.

School is going fine. The bestie is in a separate class, but Miss K is coping fine with it as there are a few other girls she is friends with. Back into readers already - grrr. She is a great little reader, but trying to get her to sit down and practice drives me crazy! The wriggling, checking if her mozzie bites are bleeding, being cold so needing a blanket, too bright from the sun etc. If she's in a mood, the moment we hit a word she doesn't know, she won't even try and work it out, just guesses random words that often don't even look like what the original word is. We are trying to just read in the mornings straight after breakfast, when we have a bit of extra time as the evenings are fairly busy, but it hasn't really helped this week. This morning took us 15 minute to get through 2 pages - then she got in the zone and flew through the next 8 in the next 15 minutes! I wouldn't normally make her sit there for 30 minutes, I was just about to give up when she just turned the page and get into it. Oh and she can never find her place! Gets distracted by looking at a picture and can never remember where she is up to. DH has so much more patience than me so he will be tasked with weekend reading. The teacher is happy for other books to be included on the reading sheet so we can read some of our own books and they will still count towards her reading award. I was even considering this morning secretly recording her to show the teacher what she is like to try and get some ideas of strategies!

Super dry here too. Are you going to get some water tanks in Cass - with that massive garden you're going to spend a fortune on water if you don't!

Hope everyone else is well.
