Thiango came for a sleepover on Lara’s last night. Cosmo did a farewell sword dance for her in the morning. We were sad when we said goodbye at the airport and went to the Flying Monkey Cafe and the Asian grocery again to cheer ourselves up.

Varsha had her palate expander out after that. It felt very strange after having it in for 9 months.

Cat bought Cosmo and Laxmi Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles outfits online. They came in the mail.

We took Thiango to the Tolga Scarecrow Festival to do a roving performance with YAK YAK. Tekira was there and Varsha joined in as well.

Laxmi is interested in what is in different foods. She has been looking things up and reading about the digestive system.
