Bus / Life Learning Week Eight

Sorry this post has been a bit late.
Limitations on internet/ WIFI can delay posting ability.
But that is okay, another day is just as good :)

Our family life lesson this week was how to repair a leaking bus, lol.
With each period of rain that we have been getting, we have been gaining more an more places where the incessant rain can find a way in.
But it has provided a great learning opportunity for hubby to discover some unknown handyman skills.
Good old silicone to the rescue.
While we waited for it to rain again (which in our current climate didn't take long), to test the silicone out, good old hubby researched other alternatives, just in case the silicone didn't work as well as anticipated.
So when it rained hubby was at work, so I got a phone call to ask how things are going,
YAY! Our leaking points of entry are dramatically less.
Thank goodness for that.
Needless to say more silicone will be administered on the weekend, if fine (fingers crossed).

Any way, what did Miss Personality get up to this week :)

Monday 23rd June 2014
Miss Personality asked to re watch dvd Eclipse from the Twilight series of movies.
Had breakfast and did her personal jobs.
She then decided to remove old nail polish from her nails and then repaint them.

Miss Personality then discovered this little gem, that mum had bought a while ago, and had been forgotten about. She happily read through the instructions, then chose which thing she would like to build. Then followed the instructions and built it. Still needs to be tested in the sunshine, but since we haven't had a lot of it lately, it will have to wait for another day.
Miss Personality then asked to re watch dvd Breaking Dawn part 1.
She then decided to peel, chop up and cook in a pot some potato, so she could have mashed potato and gravy for lunch.
Re watched dvd Breaking Dawn part 2.
Then off to Musical Theater lessons.

Tuesday 24th June 2014
Mum has returned to watching episodes of the next season of Dr Quinn Medicine woman.
So Miss Personality had her breakfast while she watched an episode.

I have noticed that Miss Personality has been choosing to watch a bit too much dvd lately and needs some inspiration / motivation to do some other things that I know she needs more practice with.
So I came up with a plan of writing on the fridge ( our budget whiteboard), the key learning areas like, maths, hand writing, creative writing, spelling, reading, history, science, and arts and crafts. She can chose how she approaches each topic, with a bit of compromise and negotiating with mum.

Miss Personality made a hut on mum & dad's bed (her favorite place to snuggle up), and read some books from her latest visit to the library. (reading done)

As she read her books, I asked her to write down date, title and author for each book she read. (hand writing done).

I mentioned to Miss Personality maybe doing a unit study on Charlie and The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. We brain stormed together some of the things we could do to cover this topic.
Went into town and visited library.
Miss Personality worked on the first piece of work to go towards the Charlie and The Chocolate Factory unit study.
She invented a new lolly, then drew a picture of it, with a description of what it looks like, what it does and what it tastes like. (arts & crafts, hand writing, creative writing, spelling done)

Later on in the day, she then decided to write a short story using the foam stick on letters. (creative writing, spelling, arts & crafts done)

At bedtime, mum and Miss Personality snuggled up in mum and dad's bed and started listening to the audio version of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, while following the words in the book.

Wednesday 25th June 2014
One of mum's passions is to knit.
So Miss Personality decided she would like to knit a sleeping bag for 2 of her dolls.
One being Barbie and the other being Polly.
I explained to her that before we start knitting we need to know how long and wide this sleeping bag needs to be.
So she got out my measuring tape and measure the widest point on her dolls and then the length.

She asked mum, to put the stitches on the knitting needle for her to start with.
Then mum demonstrated what knit and purl stitch looked like.
Then off she went :)
(hand writing, spelling, maths, arts & crafts)

Then while she was eating her breakfast, she chose to read some pages from some books.
Which she wrote down the date, title and author and how many pages of each book she had read.
(reading, hand writing, spelling done)

Miss Personality then went on to do 3 pages out of her science workbook.

1st - Introducing different materials.

2nd - The properties of materials

3rd - Types of rock.

I then asked Miss Personality to read to me the pages she had done, so that she could get help with any words she found tricky.

(science, hand writing, spelling, reading done)

 Miss Personality then chose to do a re tell of the three little pigs story, with some modifications to it, on the ipad. ( creative writing, spelling, technology done)

She then watched dvd of Horrible History and then wrote down any dates or things of interest to her on the timeline we made up the other week. (history, hand writing, spelling, maths done)

Because she had pretty much achieved everything on our key learning areas list.

She then got to use 5 of her earned pebbles to watch a dvd of her choice.

She compared the running time of about 6 dvd's to see which ran the longest, and then chose to watch that movie, which was The Looney Tunes Season 1 Volume 5.

Thursday 26th June 2014

Miss Personality  started off her day listening to the audio version of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and following the story in the book, while eating her breakfast.

After breakfast, she decided to add some more rows of knitting to the sleeping bag she is doing for Barbie.

Miss Personality found a work book called Mental Maths.

She chose to do 3 pages that covered addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication.

Miss Personality spotted the caretaker's son had come home early from school.

So she quickly went off to play with him for a little while before the next rain cloud come over.

Sure enough it rained and she was back.

She wanted to watch a dvd, but unfortunately the key learning areas had not been ticked off the list for the day, so we negotiated and compromised.

She then chose a page out of her Comprehension and Written Expression workbook on Finding Facts - Kites. She had to read the information given then answer some questions.

I had to remind her to write in her best writing. 

When she had completed it, I asked her to read out loud to me the information she had to read, so she could ask for any help with words she found tricky.

Miss Personality then added to her re tell story of the three little pigs, that she had started on the ipad, the other day.

She then did 2 pages of her science workbook.

1st - The properties of rocks

2nd - Parts of soil

3rd - The drainage of soil.

I asked her to read to me the information on each page.

She then had free choice for the rest of the day.

Friday 27th June 2014

Miss Personality decided to do some puzzles out of the newspaper.

Then she added some more rows to her hand knitted sleeping bag she is doing for Barbie.

Miss Personality read some pages out of a Garfield comic book.

She then washed the dishes and wend and did her personal jobs.

Mum discovered a new loom band bracelet with flowers on it.

Miss Personality asked to be shown how to do the flower charm for it.

Miss Personality then did 3 pages of her maths workbook.

1st - find thousands, hundreds, tens and ones

2nd - Place value crossword

3rd - Greater than and less than

Added some more of her re tell of the story Three Little Pigs on the ipad.

Because she achieved everything she needed to do, she got free choice for the rest of the afternoon.

She chose to watch dvd's:

Free Willy - Escape From Pirate's Cove

Phineas & Ferb - Best Lazy Day Ever

Smurfs 2

Only one more week till the school holidays here, which means another school term is done.

I will probably keep Miss Personality going with doing stuff that covers the key learning areas on the fridge.

Only because she is doing so well with setting her own tasks and getting them done before she can watch dvd's or do something else.

I will be a little bit relaxed with it though.

If she has a friend staying over or visiting or her big sister staying, we will do something else we can all do as a group.

With my latest stash of loom bands, I have a feeling we will be doing that a lot through out the school holidays :)

Bus / Life Learning Week Seven

Well we have had an interesting week with lots of conversation.
It came to my attention that there is a need to teach children effective communication and effective listening skills.
When you think about communication, lots of people think that it is just about talking.
Well everyone can talk.
But it is using the right words to get across how you feel and exactly what you are trying to say, so that people are miss understanding you.
I recognized this with Miss Personality lately.
She is going through some pre pubescent stuff at the moment.
I think some of her grumpy/ moody/ frustrations, may be out of being miss understood.
I forget that at 9 years old, her vocabulary is still growing.
It must be hard to try and get across to someone how you are feeling, but also know the right words to describe it.
So we have been doing lots of talking about using the right words, expressing patience with each other in moments of mis understanding.
Also Miss Personality is going through a 'blame' stage.
I think this is a common stage, but just explaining to her that before she can blame someone for something, sometimes we need to analyse ourselves and see if something we could have done, could have changed the situation for the better.
After all we can't control someone else behavior or actions, we can only control our own and how we deal with others peoples behavior and actions.
Any way here is what Miss Personality has been up to this week :)

Monday 16th June 2014
Miss Personality can't get enough of the Garfield comic books she found at the library.
I see her reading them at least once a day.
Today it was while she was eating her breakfast.
Just as well we don't have to be any where in a hurry.
I read to her The Magic School Bus  and the Electric Field Trip by Joanne Cole and Bruce Degan.
It talked about atoms, electricity, electric currents, blockers/ insulators, magnets and electricity. How a lightning bolt is made, power plants and how they work.
While reading this book, Miss Personality remembered programshe had watched in the past that had talked about things to do with electricity, like Mythbusters and The Magic School Bus episodes we have watched on Netflix.

She also watched the DVD on Horrible History and any dates of interest she found, added them to the time line we have made.

                                    

                                     

Tuesday 17th June 2014\

I asked Miss Personality if she would like to do some baking next week.

I knew our shopping day was coming up.

So I asked her to find a recipe in my recipe collection, then write down the list of ingredients and then tick off the ones we had, so we knew what to buy in the shopping.

She didn't want to do it at first, as she wasn't keen on the hand writing side of it.

Tried negotiating with me, of other ways she could do it without having to do the writing.

But I managed to get her to write it down in the end.

She then dried the dishes after doing her personal jobs.

Watched a couple of episodes of Dr Quinn Medicine Woman with mum.

Walked to the office for mum, to exchange 2 $1 coins, for a $2 coin so I could do some washing.

When she came back she watched a couple more episodes of Kid Detectives.

In the middle of an episode came out to tell me a new 'Did you know' fact she had learnt :)

Did I know there were 6 bones in the ear.

Then she went on to watch a Scooby Doo DVD.

I know it looks like she watches a lot of dvd's.

Some days it concerns me, then she amazes on a day doing something un related to what she had been watching on a dvd. Will tell me something she had learnt from watching that dvd.

So I am slowly learning to just let it go.

Wednesday 18th June 2014

Started off our day watching a couple of episodes of CSI Miami.

We got the dvd's from the library.

Miss Personality has an interest in forensics/ clue finding/ detective type stuff at the moment.

She is enjoying seeing how they piece together a crime scene to figure out who did it.

Went for a drive to the local mall 'Bayfair'.

It's funny how girls in particular are naturally drawn to shiny things such as jewelry.

She had a great time, excitedly looking at one lot of gems to another at lots of different jewelry shops. 

Talking about what ones are used for engagement rings and wedding rings.

She also observed the differences in prices of our latest interest - loom bands and the rubber bands that you use on them.

Miss Personality also asked at a shop, when they were getting some more bands in, and what kinds they were ordering. 

Came home for lunch.

She heated up a pie in the microwave.

Watched another couple of episodes of CSI Miami.

Watched dvd Suzy's World - The Body.

 

It was all about digestion, hair, icky things our body does, smelly feet, why our body makes rude noises, what our lungs do.
She then went on to watch another Suzy's World - Bright Light.
What makes a shadow, why do we need to wear sunblock, what is a mirror, how does a camera work, what is colour, why do things look smaller further away.
Miss Personality then painted her nails with nail polish.
Spotted the caretakers son, home from school, then ran off to play with him  till dinner time.

Thursday 19th June 2014
Miss Personality read some more pages of her Garfield comic while eating breakfast.

She then helped me with the grocery shopping.
Pushing the trolley, and then putting everything we were buying on the counter for the checkout lady to process.

Watched the dvd Australia.
Talked about how the half cast aborigine children were taken off their parents and raised by priest and nuns.

Miss Personality then chose to use some of her pebbles to do Minecraft on the ipad for an hour.
She later showed me the light house she had been inspired to make.
Later used another 5 pebbles to watch a couple of episodes on dvd of Kid Detectives.

I have been very impressed with Miss Personality's efforts today.
Her grumpiness is noticeably less.
Got all her jobs done wonderfully and was super helpful at the supermarket.

As soon as the caretakers son came home from school and Miss Personality spotted him, she was off to play outside again till dinner time.

Friday 20th June 2014

She started off her day watching the dvd Suzy's World - Space Place.

Why does the moon change shape, why do satellites fall out of the sky, where did the moon come from, what is a black hole in space, what would it be like to live on another planet, what makes night and day.

She then decided to put all the tri dominoes together by herself.

                             

Miss Personality then did her Barbie - Nutcracker puzzle.

                                  

Chose to use 5 pebbles to do minecraft for 60min.

Miss Personality asked to watch the movie Twilight again.

Went to the petrol station to get out gas bottled filled.
She made some observations and asked some interesting questions that brought about some conversations when dad got home, as mum didn't know the answers.
Why is the gas bottle heavy when it is filled?
What is is filled with?
Is it a liquid or like air?
Can you see the gas?

Went home and she carried on with her minecraft.
Spotted the caretakers son and went off to play outside till dinner time.



Miss Personality has been counting down the days till saturday, as is having a friend come and sleepover.
This is the very first time she has had someone come stay that isn't her sister or brothers.
They have had lots of fun doing loom bands, sausage in a bun with hot chips and chocolate milk for dinner, reading books while they were waiting for dinner to settle till they could go in the hot pools.
I have had lots of special cuddles and thank yous for inviting her friend to stay for the night.
So cute and so glad she got to add this experience to all her others in her life :)

Bus / Life Learning Week Six

17th June 2014

Sorry about the delay in posting for last week.
The perks of living in a bus with limited internet access :)

What a week though.
To say we had a lot of rain was a bit of an understatement.

We had 3-4 days of absolute down pour.

As you can imagine, Miss Personality was not seen for dust (lol), by the time the rain did eventually stop.

As she was off to explore all the places she hadn't been able to because of the rain and to catch up with the friends she has made around the place.

Monday 9th June 2014

Miss Personaltiy started off her day by reading Minecraft for Beginners by David Oconner, while eating her breakfast.

I talked with Miss Personality about doing some sort of writing every day.

I asked her to come up with a list of things she would be interested in doing, so when she was stuck for ideas, she could refresh her memory and check out her list.

I also got her to come up with a list of things of interest to her, that she might like to learn more about.

Even though she typed out these lists, it still covers doing some form of writing.

I want to encourage her to do more, as I feel she needs more practicing with actual hand writing.

I know she struggles with it as she struggles with spelling.

She likes to type out things because she has the help of spell check to help her with words.

Which is alright to use sometimes, but not always.

We watched an episode of Dr Quinn Medicine Woman.

Went for a walk to the dairy and back.

Miss Personality peeled some potatoes for her lunch. She loves potato and gravy, the only catch is if she wants it, she has to peel the potatoes :)

Watched a couple more episodes of Dr Quinn Medicine Woman.

It brought up topics of conversation on men's & women's expected roles back then.

Women cooked - a boy in the episode wanted to enter a pie baking contest and got teased as only women and girls cooked.

Only men were allowed to compete in a horse race - Dr Quinn was not allowed to compete in the horse race, but she disguised herself as a man and did it any way and won the race, but was still not allowed to have the prize money.

I introduced her to the words prejudice, racism and sexism and what they meant.

Miss Personality then had Musical Theatre Lesson.

She absolutely loves this and we have been told by her teacher that she really enjoys it and is catching on really quickly to all the new songs and dance routines they are learning.

Tuesday 10th June 2014

Watched another episode of Dr Quinn Medicine Woman.

As you can tell we watch alot of this at the moment.

It is more mum's interest than Miss Personality's, but she seems to like joining me when I watch it.

She loves to ask lots of questions, and I find the show brings up lots of interesting topics of discussion.

Miss Personality drew some pictures on the fridge.

We like to use the fridge as a whiteboard sometimes. 

As long as you have whiteboard pens, it comes of pretty easy with some spray and wipe.

Later on she was inspired by her pictures she had drawn to add a story to go with it.
She did and awesome job with her spelling. Some words she was determined to spell on her own.
She would write them, then have a look at whether it looked right. She does alot of reading and can identify a lot of words by seeing them, but struggles a little with the sounds of the letters, either by themselves or in groups.
She used the magnetized words I bought from Whitcoulls a while ago. She also used her 'Spell-Write' dictionary. Then if she still couldn't get it, she asked mum for some help.

After she had finished, I asked her if there was anything else she could see that might need changing.
Then mentioned a few reminders in regards to capitals and things.
Awesome effort though, considering she is not a fan of writing at all.

Miss Personality has mentioned a lot about when things happened in time ( history) and comparing them with when other things have happened in time (history).
So I made up a time line for her, so when she found out interesting facts to do with dates in history, she could see them on her time line.
She then used the internet on my iphone to see what period in history was the Little House on the Prairie and Dr Quinn Medicine Woman. Then wrote them on the time line in the correct place.

Miss Personality will keep adding things of interest to her, over the rest of the year.

Will be interesting to look back on at the end of the year.

Wednesday 11th June 2014
As it had been raining all week, we used the opportunity to visit our local library to get out of the bus for a while, as well us to get books that had been reserved.
While we were there, Miss Personality reminded me that we needed to look for the DVD Breaking Dawn part two. This is the last movie in the Twilight series and she was very keen to watch the last one.
Miss Personality could not find the DVD on the shelf, so went off to find a librarian to help her reserve a copy :)

When we got home, we stopped at a bakery down the road to buy something for lunch.
We also looked at their DVD selection. The bought dvd's from an old dvd shop that closed down and are selling them for $2.50 to $3.50.
Miss Personality was very excited when we found a copy of Breaking Dawn part two, to add to our collection.
For those of you who have watched the movies and know there are a couple bedroom scenes
 that are not really for her age group. I just fast forwarded past those bits with the explanation that, that is what people do when they are married and she didn't really need to see those bits. Miss Personality was happy with that explanation. These scenes are not super graffic, but enough to suggest what they are up too.
Any way, of course when we got home, we had to watch it.
Miss Personality then went through, probably what many fans ( of the books and the movies) went through, the feeling that there was no more, the end of the story line.

I introduced to Miss Personality the joy of reading the pick a path books.

She couldn't get her head around the fact that you could chose your own story and go back and re read the book and get a different story.

So I read it to her, asking her which choice she wanted to make as we went through the book.

She must have really enjoyed it, because when Miss Blondini came to stay on the weekend, she was telling her all about it.

Miss Personality read a book to mum. Scooby-Doo readers, The Big Bad Blizzard by Gail Herman.

We found a dvd at the library called Kid Detectives Season One.

In each episode learn how to assess and reconstruct a crime scene, collate evidence and analyse clues and then eliminate suspects from the investigation.

Miss Personality made me giggle as she kept coming out say "did you know" facts that she had learnt.

She also found out some interesting dates for when the first light bulb was made, first phone and first camera were made.

Thursday 12th June 2014

Watched a couple more episodes of Dr Quinn Medicine Woman.

One was on a teacher who used physical punishment to discipline the children at school.

One was on indians who killed army soliders.

Miss Personality found some Garfield comics at the library.

She is really enjoying reading them.

Miss Personality wrote down a question she would like to find the answer for and add to her time line.
What year did Neil Armstrong land on the moon?

She watched some more of her Kid Detectives DVD.
Her 'Did you know' facts were:
You use 29 facial muscles when you kiss.
The largest beetle in the world is called the goliath beetle and it lives in the African forest and eats fruit and tree sap.

When dad came home, she excitedly shared with him, while we were eating dinner, the new things she had learnt.

She had a game of scrabble on the ipad with dad before bed.

Friday 13th June 2014
Miss Personality observed that 2 chrysalis on the swan plant were black, which meant they could hatch at any stage.
She then washed the dishes after we had all had breakfast.

I asked Miss Personality if she would like to make some jelly today and put it in the jelly molds we had bought the other day.
She was very keen  and happily read the instructions on the packet of jelly. Boiled the jug on the gas stove, lighting the element safely.
Poured the jelly crystals into a bowl, measured the hot water and poured it into the bowl, stirred.
We talked about how it went from crystal form in the packet, to liquid in the bowl with hot water, and then it would turn into a solid in the fridge.

I then did some revision/ practice with Miss Personality, using the flash cards I have on money and reading the time. She did very well, as I knew she would.

She read some pages of her Garfield comic.

No rain today and the sun was out, which meant Miss Personality could venture off outside today :)
Miss Personality spotted her friend Helen (motor camp staff member).
After she had done all her jobs she needed to do, she asked if she could go off and see if she could help Helen with anything. I said yes, so off she went.
Later she came and got me so she could show me what she had been doing.
She had been doing some weeding and planting in the gardens.
Helen told me she is a very hard worker as a lot of other children would have given up a long time a go.
Miss Personality was very proud of herself and her efforts :)

Then on the weekend she got to have her big sister come stay, grandma & grandad visit.
She had a fun time and we all played bat down together.
Later she decided she would like some time by herself, so created a lovely spot with her books and her teddies.

Bus / Life Learning Week Five

7th June 2014

Monday 2nd June 2014
Mum read a book to Miss Personality.
Rainbow Magic - Roxie and the Baking Fairy by Daisy Meadows.

We are having tantrum city at the moment.
Miss Personality has an answer for everything, and to help out sometimes causes so much grunting and groaning. Seems to want to argue for attention, which I don't understand, as being an only child and home schooling. She gets my one on one attention all day everyday.
She then asks for hugs after we have had a arguement and it just makes it really hard to want to give to her in that way.
I feel emotionally empty more days than not.
After everyone has calmed down, we do talk about things often.
Which is a good thing for us both.

Miss Personality did a number crunch puzzle out of the newspaper.

Miss Personality used the montessori inspired single red beads.
She wanted to put them into gourps of 100, but didn't want to count them out, one by one.
So she counted them into little cups, into groups of 20, then counted them all together, transferring them into one big bowl. Skip counting in 20's. Total = 217

Miss Personality put her crazy straw in a bottle of water. Then explained to me how the gravity was making the water come out of the straw at the other end. I mentioned to her that is may also have some thing to do with air pressure helping the water to come through the straw too.

Game of battleship.

We went and visited some friends of our that we have not seen since before we went to Australia.
Miss Personality has known their oldest daughter since she was 2 1/2 years.
It was great for all of us to get a chance to catch up.

Miss Personality then went and played with the caretakers son  and daughter around the camping grounds, until dinner time.

Watched an episode of Scrapheap Challenge (DVD).
They made a hockey puck type contraption that 4 people could ride on across the ice, like a pinball machine, out of scraps from a junk yard.

Tuesday 3rd June 2014

Mum pulled out a whole pile of resources so that Miss Personality could choose what she wants to do.

Miss Personality showed me a page in a book called I Wonder Why - Castles had moats and other questions about long ago by Philip Steele.

It had roman, hindi, modern, arabic, medieval european and modern numerals.

She recognised the roman numerals.

She is flicking through her book Ripley's Believe It or Not - 2011.

Showing me things of interest - camouflage caterpillar, goats who can climb steep hills, dogs painted to look like panda & a tiger, cow struck by lightning and lived, a lion opening a car door by itself.

Miss Personality folded the corner on pages in her book 101 Cool Science Experiment by Hinkler Books.

Experiments she would like to do. Volcano, put out a lighted candle in a jor, grow a stalactite, bouncy egg, pen cap submarine.

Then Miss Personality did the Spot What Book by Nick Bryant & Rowan Summers.

Then making pictures using Tap Tap Art while watching Little House on the Prairie Season One.

Wednesday 4th June 2014

Reading instructions for -  Make Your Own Lipgloss kit.

Following the instructions, step by step, measuring and mixing as she goes along.

Wanted to know what the word 'consistency' meant.

She made a pink and purple lip gloss.

Cleaning up her tools once she was finished.

Miss Personality helped find the things we needed at the supermarket.

She then found a lady who works around the camping grounds .

She went off and helped her clean up around the camping grounds.

Miss Personality made a pyramid out of lego.

Caretakers son came and knocked on the door of our bus, looking for Miss Personality.

They climb trees, make huts and swing and play.

Thursday 5th June 2014

Introduced Miss Personality to the movie (DVD) Twilight.

Paused button got used a lot as Miss Personality had plenty of questions to ask :)

Went grocery shopping.

Miss Personality pushed the trolley around and then put everything on the check out counter.

She made her own lunch.

We had a talk about puberty and some changes she is starting to experience.

Watched movie (DVD) New Moon.

Pause button got used a lot, as Miss Personality asked plenty of questions :)

Went to hair dressing school called Hair To Train.

Mum got a free haircut.

While we were their, one of the students asked Miss Personality would like her hair done up.

Of course she did.

Miss Personality played minecraft on the ipad while her hair was getting played with.

Then she got to have her hair washed at the special hand basin.

First time she has ever had an experience at the hair dressers.

When we got home Miss Personality went off and played with caretakers son at the camping grounds.

Watched an episode of Scrapheap Challenge.

Rock Crawler - Teams have to create a vehicle that can climb a rock hill.

Flying Machine - teams have to make a flying machine that can carry one team member.

Friday 6th June 2014

Watched the rest of the movie (DVD) 

Then watched Eclipse, Breaking Dawn Part 1. (DVD)

She removed nail polish remove her to remove old nail polish.

Then she repainted them.

Went off to play with caretakers son, after he had finished school.

Might get Miss Personality's ears checked again.

She has had grommets in the past.

But have noticed she seems to have issues with hearing.

Just not sure if she is choosing not to listen or whether it is something else.
