I love pressing buttons
I love powerpoints. I love clicking them on. I love clicking them off. I love pulling out the plugs. No matter what the punishment (instant naughty corner), it’s worth it. In fact, I can’t help it. They are just sooo cool!
The obvious one in the lounge room is my favourite, but I’m happy to crawl under the TV table to the set there and can fairly easily reach the ones behind the dining table. The hall set is right outside my bedroom, so quite convenient particularly when Mum and Dad are busy in the lounge!
If powerpoints are being carefully guarded, I’m happy to go for computer switches, home theatre systems, routers or phones. The dishwasher also has some great buttons to press.
I certainly know how to press Mum and Dad’s buttons!
* My favourite thing to wear is Milly’s yellow Dress with blue flowers. Every afternoon when I get home I put it on. Every Saturday I wear it and unfortunately it is in the wash on Sundays.
* I like to wear skirts to day care and my good dresses on weekends. I love frilly skirts 🙂
* I wear Dora undies now!
* I am a great big sister and love trying to get Lachie involved in things.
* I am a great sleeper. Why do I have to get up at 7am? It is still dark.
* I am a great eater when I am hungry. My favourite foods are meat + chicken nuggets + BBQ chicken + cheese + fruit* I love cuddles and kisses.
* I like choosing my own clothes. I am fiercely independant and have been known to throu the odd tantrum when I am frustrated with trying to get my point across.
* I love textas. I KNOW you are not meant to eat them but they taste good.
* I love climbing , running & jumping.
* I love birthday cakes and blowing out candles. I was a good big sister and helped Lachie blow out his birthday candles. I am planning my birthday party already. I want to wear Milly’s yellow dress with blue flowers and have pink and blue balloons
Happy 1st Birthday Lachie
Happy birthday little man xx
(Yes Eli did pick the menu!)
I’m ONE! Happy Birthday to me!
I’m one and it’s so much fun:
* I love powerpoints, the media centre and playing in the recyling bin.
* I have fun repeating words after you and am getting really good at saying “ta”. Mum and Dad are working on my “ta”. It is a fun game to play.
* I have had a few colds of late but nothing too spectacular. I had a fever and was a little grumpy on Friday and all weekend – yes throughout my party. However it was my party and so I could cry when I wanted to. I had yesterday off play-care but insisted on going today to get all the attention 🙂 The sickness is a cunning ploy to delay my one-year-old immunisations (3 needles!) as long as possible.
* I love walking around things and am keen to be able to run after Eli.
* Yogurt, cheese sticks & BBQ chicken are my favourite foods.
* I know how to work mum. Kisses and cuddles will get me ANYTHING 🙂
* I know how to defend myself. I pull Eli’s hair when she gets in my way.
* I love music and very cutely like to bop and jig along. What is a “jig” you say? Well you stand up and move your hips and one leg in time to the music. Yes – it is very cool.
Lachie’s Christening
Well it was very hot! But everyone made a huge effort to come. THANK YOU 🙂
…and a big thank you to my God Fathers. Little do they know what is in store for them!
Lachie’s 1st Birthday Party
Hanging out with my cousins
Boatloads of imagination
Over the last few months I’ve really started to enjoy imaginary games. My particular favourites are:
- Boats – You imagine that there are crocodiles on the floor of the house and have to get the whole family on a boat. This is normally one of the couches, but can be a more elaborate vessel as per the photo below. The main rallying technique is to call out “Crocodile biting you! C’mon Mummy! C’mon Daddy! Foot on couch! Crocodile!”.
- Snap Snap – You run around the house doing big vertical claps like a crocodile calling out “Snap! Snap!”. Lachlan also particularly enjoys playing this game at the dinner table with all four of us snapping simultaneously.
- Ice Cream Shop – You setup an ice cream shop on the couch with customers walking up at one end. Money changes hands and then elaborate ice creams of different colours are requested with optional sprinkles and stars.
33 months and full of fun
* My Dora watching attention-span has extended into kids movies (and probably has for almost six months now). I can watch a whole kids movie. I love TV so much I will watch pretty much anything…including test cricket.
* Mum is always amazed at my patience and gentleness with Lachie. I am a good sister. Even though he is often crash tackling me and pulling my hair.
* Mum has bought me some special hair shampoo that makes my hair look beautiful.
* I love painting my toe and finger nails. For the last few weeks they have been blue – my favourite colour.
* I love meat, yoghurt & fresh savoury rolls (like cheese&bacon, tomato&cheese or olive&cheese). * I love my afternoon sleep.
* At play-care when I am inside, I like to play babies and build towers with Sophie. Then when we go outside I like to run and jump and skip and throw balls and ride bicycles and play in sand pit and do lots of fun stuff with Tom and Daniel.
* I have beautiful manners most of the time.
* If you remind me when I forget, I will use my happy voice to ask for things……
