• your illustrations continue to amaze me, you now include fingers and finger nails! Your most favourite thing to draw is mermaids and princesses.
• your favourite tv show is H2O, it's a show about mermaids, and I quite like watching it too!
• you now ask to watch abc3 because it has 'bigger kid show' but you also have stopped your paddies and meltdowns when play school comes on, you still sit there absorbed and I love that!
• you are happy and eager to go to school, and that makes me so happy! Not because you are at school, but that you are happy!
• your favourite friend is julietta, you guys just click. You are both strong, but you seem to bring out the best in each other. It is a friendship that I am thankful you have.
• you love your brother and sister, you are patient and kind and you use the sweetest voice with them.
Jacob ::
• cute as can be!
Absolute chatterbox full of but why and. 'How' questions ... 'How do they make the floors?' Hmmm ... 'well they chop down a tree and then cut it into pieces and make it all smooth and nice and then the workers put it on the floors in our house', 'but how do the workers ...' You get the message! Your other quirky language habit is that EVERYthing you say starts with 'so ... '. You do seem to be stuttering a lot at the moment, hopefully this is simply a phase as you tech to get the oh so much stuff to explode from your brain to your mouth!
• I walk away from social situations just bursting with pride at the way you are so friendly, kind and well, social with kids, adults and babies. You just know the right personal space to put between yourself and a baby, you just look at kids with your precious smile and expect that they are also good and kind and friendly. You talk to adults, initiating conversation with 'so the harvester collects the salt on the pond'! And mostly answer their questions.
• you still have day sleeps, thank you god!! You have woken up to the fact that when I drive around the water tower 3 times you go to sleep, so now the winner is the swing on the deck! And you transfer beautifully into bed so win!
• the poll, you have no fear in water, I think possibly, by the end of summer you'll be swimming. You stand on the edge of the toddler pool and dive or bombie, cute, but I worry about your spinal cord!
• yesterday you fell off the tramp, onto your chest and neck, I thought you had broken your neck! Seriously, it was that close, and the crack I heard, wad the ring in your dummy breaking!
Miss Matilda ::
• when you crawl, you have speed! You now stand all the time against furniture and your daddy tries to get you to stand.
• you fell off the back steps this week! Ouchy to the left side on hair.
• I think you are trying to grow your top bunny tooth.
• You are still such a happy, patient little sweet girl.
• You LOVE seagulls, pointing to the sky and saying 'bww' birdy.
• You mainly say mummmma when you ate sad, and you sing daddy's name ... Dadadda da!
• You laugh when abs or jakey move or blow raspberries or pull funny faces or use funny little voices.
