Mountain Child

It was another excruciatingly hot day yesterday, but it began to rain in the middle of the night and the temperature dropped by about 20 degrees celsius today.
Sara and I went to Steiner playgroup this morning and had Lisette and Mia come around in the mid afternoon. It was Lisette's birthday today, so we baked a cheesecake for her.

It's so nice to be able to bake again as I just couldn't even contemplate getting the oven going for the last several days. I baked a fudge brownie this morning, a cheesecake in the afternoon and bread in the evening. I LOVE baking.

It was slightly cooler today than yesterday.  Sara spent the afternoon playing with Tyller.
Event though every time Tyller comes near, Richard starts frothing at the mouth, I've got to say that Sara and Tyller do get on enormously well.  They really seem to enjoy playing with each other.  We've got to be grateful for that.

When I went to pick Sara up from the daycare the other day, this is how she looked.

I was really quite impressed.

When Sara is in the car, she is always on a red light alert. If she sees a red traffic light, she will start yelling "red red red". "You have to wait till it's green mum."
She does this every single time.

Thank goodness we don't live in Sydney.

It was boiling hot yesterday and quite cool today.

I have been teaching Sara some Japanese.

She can quite confidently ask for a hug in Japanese.
I have also been try to teach her how to tell the left and the right sides for shoes.
She is not quite as motivated to learn this one.
