Month of June!

Image
  Wow, what a good month June has been! We have done heaps of prep for our Masquerade Ball and spent the day getting all dressed up and dancing and hanging out with all my friends at Arohanui, which was so much fun. In Lifeskills, we have been learning about communication when I'm feeling overwhelmed. We've also had lots of fun dancing with Donna, which is always my favourite.

It was so pretty and peaceful to walk around and take it all in. I really enjoyed being out in nature and spending time with everyone.

Was so nice joining Naomi in the Cafe this morning; helping set up and making hot chocolates and coffees. I made Dianne's coffee ALL BY MYSELF! I ground the coffee beans, tamped it down, pured the shot, measured the milk, steamed it and put it all together. I did every step on my own and I am SO proud of myself. -N.O.
