All quiet here on the east coast of Australia. Joshua has been home a week which has been fairly uneventful. Today he has an appointment at the Cairns base hospital to see the team from the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital, who have flown up here for a remote clinic.
In theory he could go to school, but the teachers have agreed that as there are only two weeks left of school, he can do work at home that he needs to do to catch up. He may go in for one day next week to see his friends.
It was the Presentation Evening on Tuesday. I went for a short time with Joshua and Ruben just to hear Bethany sing the national anthem. Josh sat with his friends, which was really nice until I felt it was time to make a quiet exit! Imagine a semi-dark, fairly hushed room for a formal event, except I had Ruben sitting next to me huffing and puffing and saying in a not very quiet voice, "This is so boring". I whispered to him that we were going to go and needed to attract Joshua's attention, but not to shout. We managed this quite successfully until Ruben said in a very loud voice, "MUMMY SAYS WE ARE NOT TO SHOUT". Good job he can still pull off cute and people are forgiving!
What was really nice was that, in spite of his absence, Joshua was awarded one of the Grade 10 academic excellence awards based on what he had done that year already. Joshua felt he didn't really deserve it, but I was pleased.
ah well done Josh, and Bethany for singing! X
ReplyDeleteI may be biased, but of course Joshua deserved it. Bethany what did they do without you? Caleb well done for your maths award, when you didn't think you'd get anything, because of your time away and well done Roo for making everyone smile! (Grannies are allowed to be biased!)
