Abi's song

Abi learnt a new song a Blackfriars childcare:

hey hey whats your name
if you have a name you can play this game
Abigail abigail stand up please
turnaround and touch your knees

(Abigail then leads the song, naming the next kid as the standee)

Today Abi wasn't so much fun at Blackfriars childcare. She didn't want dad to leave when she got there late (!) today. And it was raining.... no outdoors play.

She claimed she wasn't feeling well and refused all food, so the staff called us to let us know, so we picked her up early (3pm). When Chris left his class early (!) to pick her up, he saw her lying on the couch in "look at me, I'm miserable" mode. However, once spotting dad, she suddenly became better!!

Later on the way home, we spotted a garage sale on the uncompleted "chateau de lilyfield rd" (a HUGE HUGE HUGE house on the hill at 33 Lilyfield Rd, Rozelle, near the Victoria rd end). This place has a steep, uncompleted driveway that goes up about 20m to a ... ? 4 car garage (with an internal ramp to a 2nd level garage!).
Inside they had a huge range a nick knacks and ancient rusted tools.

Abi (being a "sick" girl) had to be carried, but later decided she was well since she wanted to buy stuff (a nice box for her jewellery)

Once home, you wouldn't think she was the same girl as the whole day - lively, enthusiastic and full of bounce.
She impressed us with origami folding (she made 3 of them) origami folding and her drawing of a Princess (complete with crown, sky, clouds, sun, grass & tree) of a Princess (complete with crown, sky, clouds, sun, grass & tree)
but later spoiled the mood by not going to bed on time (so dad fell asleep in her room instead!)
