David makes me laugh

Today I kept anxiously reminding David that he's going to the local petting zoo / farm with his whole year (75 kids between the age of 4-5yrs) and sleeping there for 2 (!!) nights. I kept bringing it up and showing him the bag with all the carefully marked clothes and a mini bag for each day to make sure he understood what was going to actually happen.

We're a wierd trilingual bunch, so his delay in communication always makes me over compensate in my explanations. I roll my eyes at myself when I catch myself repeating the same thing in three languages in an effort to assure myself that the message gets through. That, coupled with the fact that he randomly 'tunes out' like my Dad makes me unsure of what he really understands.

In the middle of dinner I brought it all up for the 4th time by asking if he wants me to be there when the bus comes to wave him off (NB the farm is down the road), he took my hand, looked me in the eye and said "Don't worry mom, I'll be back home soon",  then he turned away and carried on eating.

I guess he's ok with it then.

You've gotta love kiddie art...

For me a highlights is fact that there is no body and the size of the eyes and the smile.

Jan-Feb 2013

Click below for some new photos - it's been a sleepless January/February hence the low number of shots and long time it takes for me to update :)

I'm baaaaaaaack!

It's almost been 6 months since my last post and the time just flew by. I have a ton of excuses but I'm sure they would just bore people :)

Instead here's a picture of Buzz Lightyear having crashed into our Christmas tree (aka lit the lights before putting them on the tree, left the room for 15 minutes and came back to this). I think he looks worried that I am going to tell him off.

..... aaaand a photo of little Nikki (with her partner in crime) who cut 3 teeth in one day this week:

.....and lastly a photo of us doing what we do best - weekend lunch at VIPS restaurant...

David Turns 3!!

And here are some photos from when David turned 3. He had been asking for 5 months when his turn was to have a Birthday, and I think me and him were equally as excited to make the day the very best it could be! Enjoy. Xx

June... a busy month

The 3 intense months of summer are here and June was fast and furious! Here's a mixture of photos from nights out, David with daycare at the zoo, the pool opening party, David's graduation (super dooper important) and midsummer celebrations this weekend gone. I'm knackered already but I think that's because my day starts at 5am at the moment.

My little counting trilinguist - take one!

This was the first take, maybe I'll make a blooper reel for the next post ha ha.
