Way too much fun at The Wiggles this afternoon!
I had won 4 tix to The Wiggles Big Birthday Tour through the Wiggle Around Oz Twitter Party a week ago 😀 Unfortunately, Jovie is not quite ready for large crowds, loud music and sitting still so we decided not to take her early on. But fortunately, Danimezza and her gorgeous son Aidan came along with us and we had so much fun 😀
Aidan and Jasper were SO CUTE together – one gets off the chair, so does the other.. one starts jumping and so does the other. That also meant as we were leaving, they decided that it’d be HILARIOUS to run off into the distance. Boys.
The show itself was like a rock concert for kids, lots of colour and heaps of songs and dancing. Santa even made an appearance! We’d never been to a show before but apparently you can bring/make a bone for Wags and flowers for Dorothy and they come around and collect it. I’ll have to remember that for next time!
Thanks to Digital Parents for holding the comp and The Wiggles for being so fun after all these years x
Engaging Jovie into therapy or play is like walking a fine line between happiness and sheer anxiety and terror, and this morning’s OT session was a fine example of it.
It’s not as though we set her off, or something happens to her like a fall or finising her food, so at the moment we can never really tell what it is that happens.
The first 15 minutes were BLISS. So happy to be there, so happy to see everyone. Huge smiles on the swing and even some lovely babbling and a couple of hand indications for ‘more’ swing. But suddenly and without warning, BAM, the ‘cloak’ comes over her beautiful face and she’s a different girl altogether.
Two therapists, one mum and a little girl that is no doubt ‘stuck’ somewhere. It was a hard session, even though we live it every day, it’s hard to explain to others that no toy, no swing, no funny face will settle my girl. We find most times that a change of scenery helps, but you can’t keep running. You have to find something.

That’s my Jovie.
Tears, tantrums and teething grinding all done for the day, Jovie focuses in on the snack table at the playgroup Christmas party.
It’s like flipping a switch. A Jovie-sized switch.
