Superhero Awesome Guy

Tyler has a favourite praise and worship song at the moment that he likes to listen to in the car 'Our God is an Awesome God'.  The other day while driving along listening to his tune, he said to me 'You know mummy Spiderman is a really awesome guy too' Yes Tyler he really is a really awesome guy too!

Toilet Training joys....

So the toilet training of my baby E has begun...now I didn't dread this day as T trained in about 3 days and rarely had an accident after he was fully toilet trained. E has proved to be a different one altogether. I have actually been holding her off TT as she has been asking to use the toilet for the longest time but it has been too cold....so here we are toilet training, she has FABULOUS days with no accidents and then days of peeing and pooping 7 pairs of nickers in 2 hours....what the? Oh well I will go on...she is so independent taking herself to the toilet, then trying to empty her own potty, including flushing it down the toilet. Although I wasn't too impressed her her independence when I found her making a cake in her potty with milk from her cup and then attempting to drink it.....ewwwwha

Nice and Cosy

Since it has been cold lately Eva has been only sleeping for a shorter period during the day and waking earlier in the mornings.
SOLUTION - add a cosy pillow and doona to her bare cot (she sleeps in a sleeping bag) and like magic she sleeps delightfully in her 'nice and cosy bed' (as she calls it)

When you grow up

Tyler: Daddy when you grow up will you have a big car like Papa (who drives a 4x4 Pajero, while daddy drive a small hatchback)
Daddy: Why do you think I will drive a car like Papa's when I grow up?
Tyler: Daddy because Papa is bigger than you so he has a bigger car!!! (dah daddy)

Superheros

Yesterday Tyler wanted to wear his undies over his pants (to go out) so he could be a superhero, I kindly told him maybe not to go out but you are welcome to do the superhero thing at home. Then later on in the day while I was getting ready to go out with the girls for the evening, I was dressing and Tyler came in while I was putting on stocking (and I always wear another pair of undies over the top to stop them sliding down) Tyler looking very excited asked if was going to go to the movies dressed like a superhero? Hmmm I don't think so, he was pretty disappointed.

The joy of laughing.... (at the simple things)

We have realised that 21 month old Eva is blessed with a great sense of humour. She actually get a joke when someone is joking around with her. Today while driving (my stories always seem to occur while driving) Eva started laughing to herself in the back of the car, i turned to her and said 'What's so funny Missy Moo' and she pointed towards a overhead electrical wire and said 'There's a shoe up there' and laughed again... how could she know that this is a silly place for a shoe

First Day

Well yesterday my 21 month old baby girl Eva started her first ever day of kindy as I started back at work this week. Now I was having a bit of a stress thinking she wouldn't cope as she is such a mummy's girl. Well can you believe she was perfectly happy, she had the time of her life playing with other little girls and making house in home-corner. Zane said when he picked the children up, she barely acknowledged him and continued on playing, then in the car ride home she was amped and chatty....I think she had a good day. Now she is only going one day a week so it will be interesting to see what happens when I drop Tyler off today to see if she is disappointed that this little 'Miss Social Butterfly' won't be able to stay and play.
