Dear Matthew
Last Friday we took the ferry to Rottnest, just for the night, along with your Nanna, Darryl, Aunty Chantel, Mikayla, Ella and Harrison, as part of Camp Autism.
You loved the ferry ride over, charming a bunch of Japanese tourists with your willing smile and twinkling eyes. It was a slightly rough journey but you didn't complain too much and we arrived around 10:30. We headed straight to the bakery where you encountered your first quokka and were more than comfortable walking up to it, wanting to touch it. Luckily your dad intercepted and you were happy enough to just chill with it for a bit.
After yummy pies for lunch we met up with the fam and set off to our accommodation. After some hiccups we finally got the keys and settled in. During the afternoon we went for a chilly swim and you had a little nap on our makeshift bed (two single beds on the floor). For dinner we headed to the pub and you managed to cuddle a quokka, you sneaky baby!
The next morning we chilled in the town centre, played on the nearby playground and headed back to the beach again, before boarding the ferry back home in afternoon.
While we had a lovely time, you seemed a bit off colour and unfortunately kept falling over/bumping your head. Hopefully you'll enjoy it a bit more (and therefore your mum and dad too) when you're a bit older!
So blessed to have you my darling boy.
Love,
Mum xxx
