in the garden

You love brooms, shovels anything - you were outside with Grandad 18th November and you couldn't resist trying to help him put a plant in the garden. Very cute. In one of the pictures is exactly how you look when you go ooooohhhhh - funny you have just started doing that

Here is in the prima inspiration

Prima - here is some inspiration from these products and colours. Summer is upon us so add a splash of colour

Prima picks - don't you love Prima?!!!!!!

I love Prima products more and more these days - I can always find something more I would love to add to my LO with all their flowers and embellishments. Such pretty colours. Go to their blog and look up all sorts of things to inspire - DT LO, monthly Prima BAP - the possabilities are endless

You stole the show for me

Today you had 2 dance performances with the dance class you have been going to. I got really choked up at this mornings one seeing you up there doing the actions, wiggling your hips, running and getting your bucket - it was such a precious moment and I wished that your brother could be there to understand it too and sit quietly while he absorbed it but Granny was great and looked after him - will write more soon as feeling the stress and strain of the day - even though you did all the work. Here is a picture of you in pigtails and with your brother at the gate. Not sure that pride would have been the right word to describe seeing you up there - maybe an outpouring of more love and respect???

Love your expression!

I really love your expression in the two photos (pre ladybird)so you!!

Isn't it lucky....Monday 26 October 09

That we had such a great day together as a family - despite the fact that the kids were niggling each other all morning. Each day is such a blessing - I hope that I will always appreciate the simple moments we share. I will post photos later as I don't have my camera with me. I love the expression in a couple I took of you. You loved the train and the ferris wheel and having your face painted - actually not so much during the painting but you love knowing your face is painted. You are such a sweetie as you had wanted a mermaid like you last had but I said how about you try something different like a ladybird. As we stood in line I looked at what else you could have and wanted something delicate that wouldn't hide your face. As it got to your turn and you sat in the seat and the face painter asked you what you wanted you loyally said ladybird. That made my heart melt. Next time we will do something more delicate!!! Loving you both more each day, your brother has been getting himself into the pram - dad got it out to take to the shops and he got in it and we had to remove you to change you. Then after you went on a ride at the mall with your sister you got in yourself again - it looks so cute - I must video you doing it!! This is a photo of you taken on Tuesday of last week after dancing

Mask parade

We got there too late for a comfortable position - the little man fell asleep on the way in so partway through I woke her up. Last year he slept because he was barely a week old and it was on the Friday night too and we had only got home from hospital on Wednesday. Mum had him in the backpack. Reading a great book by James Patterson called Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas - so long since I've read a book - it's a goodie and I want to know how it ends but also want to savor it. The diary is a keepsake for her newborn son
