We’re watching Play School. Keira keeps pointing to the screen and saying, “mummy, mummy!” Me: “Is that a mummy?” Justine is on the screen, good ole’ Justine. Keira: “Play school mummy?” “Her name’s Justine, Keira.” “No, my mummy” “Justine’s your mummy?” “Yeah” “No, I’m your mummy” “No, I want her!” Well, isn’t that just dandy?
So far this week, the weather has been wonderful here in Melbourne. Spending so much time of the year indoors has been the hardest thing to become accustomed to since we moved from NSW. But the warmth of this week has seen Keira outside frolicking on the deck It’s great. I have some new photos…
I’m sure I don’t need to remind you that it’s the five year anniversary of the attack on New York. I still feel as affected by it today as I was then. I remember the whole week with a clarity I wish I could remember other significant periods of my life as having. What made…
My little man is six months today, which is exciting in itself, but it also means he’s ‘officially’ allowed to graduate into some more ‘big things’. Notably, its solids time (although he’s been on them for five days now) and he can now have nurofen for pain relief (although I’ve already given it to him…
*sitting at PC in a partial-comatose state* *imagine getting prodded with a stick* Hmmm?! Oh, yes, that’s right I’m supposed to be awake. What a night we had. Between midnight and 5am I was up, let’s say four times, but it could’ve been more. I can’t remember. Keira was coughing ALL NIGHT and nothing we…
Yay! And Melbourne’s putting up a show today. Its supposed to be in the twenties degrees (celcius) which is ‘tropical’, Adam and I say to each other, laughing. Certainly different to the weather we grew up with. So we’ll take the sunshine and clear skies, anytime thanks. I’ll be AWOL over the weekend. We’re having…
Yesterday, my local Maternal Health Nurse called me up to see how I was doing and whether I needed to come in. She’d come across my file and was reminded about my last check up (with Riley). You see, last time, I did the Edinburgh Scale Test for new mums and my score wasn’t so…
After the glorious early spring weather of the weekend, this morning its raining and windy, but its supposed to fine up later. Hopefully. Keira’s speaking is coming ahead, just in this month alone its getting clearer. Here is a sample of what’s been said so far this morning. “Bye dad, see you soon!” (She said…
This was my girl’s first (independent) venture at painting at the easel without mum’s choked, hawkeyed supervision. Despite smocks, plastic mats, the relative ‘safety’ of using water colours, yes, she did get some paint on the blessed deck. But we have a high pressured water gun-hose. Surely that will get it off? (She says, hopefully). Not…
