happy new year, sydney 48C, jasper on a booster seat


Its really warm here today each breath I take feels like FIRE going in and out of my nose, breathing track and my lungs, my eyeballs feel cooked, the thermometer here reads 48C. We went to visit MIL and the pet mouse at the backyard died of heatstroke, and they keep offering ice water to the pet rabbit. They also recorded 46C at the Sydney airport. ITs already 8pm at night and temp is still 42C. The humidity is low but the dry heat is unbearable. I heard Jasper saying the letter "Y" or "why" the first time. He hasnt eaten much today due to the heat.

I have managed to move jasper from a large highchair to a smaller booster feeding seat - its a raised seat that sits on top of a normal adult chair. I took the large highchair to MIL's as the highchair takes up too much floorspace. He couldnt do without the highchair at some point in the past because the highchair has 7 height levels and 3 recline positions, the wide base of the highchair prevents him from tipping over when he crazily shake his body trying to get out of the seat. He can now do with a very basic raised seat.
