Nine years ago, we were lucky enough to spend two months living on North Stradbroke Island in a beautiful home called "Pippi Palace". The kids were four and two years old - driving on the island is forever linked to Hi 5 and Wiggles music. I spent the mornings doing therapy with Christopher, but the afternoons were free time. We joined the local playgroup and library, and had boxes of fresh fruit and veg delivered to our door each week. Family and friends came and went. It was an idyllic time and one that has provided many happy memories. Catherine as a two-year-old was a funny little character, who liked getting into all sorts of small spaces. At four, Christopher was working hard to communicate with us - he remembers that I made him crawl to biscuits during this holiday as part of his ongoing therapy.
