Big week for Huff; her 6th birthday party, and having her tonsils out. She’s resting tonight in hospital with Mum, and we’re expecting her to come home again tomorrow.
Saturday was her party and she had 3 friends (and her big brother, and grandmother) all celebrating with her by making some craft with polymer clay.
Given her choice of birthday cake, she wanted an octopus cake, which she cut by slicing right between the eyes.
Afterwards, we ate the remaining fruit and packed everything away. It was a good celebration.
Sunday we managed some speedy duck-feeding at the local creek – even Mum came along to help.
Then to fill in time before having her tonsils out, Huff came along to watch her brother swim.
And managed to do a great job in her own swimming lesson (her last for a couple of weeks while she recovers).
She continued her tradition of being super enthusiastic about the whole process of the tonsillectomy right until it was time to inhale the anaesthetic gas. When the operation was finished, she was really tired, and has been resting up most of the rest of the day (with a generous helping of ABC for kids).
Next week we’ll have a fairly quiet schedule for Huff while she gets better.
