"Hawo Anny" and *some* photos

"Hawo Anny" you say as you grab the phone from your sister. You have become quite comfortable with the phone and are usually very keen to chat to Nanny a couple of times a week. You are actually talking to her now and are slowly learning that she can't see when you nod 'yes' to her. Today you tell her you are colouring in trains and that you saw an orange bus today. It's hard not to marvel at your cuteness ;)

This week we have started our evening ritual of going out to Andy's vege garden and eating our fill of fresh peas and strawberries. I love home grown fruit and vege goodness, they taste so much better than the ones at the shops. Will is very happy to eat peas straight from the pod, but if you cook them and serve them up with dinner there is not a chance of him touching them!

Oh, and Bec has 'taught' Will to jump! She is so proud of herself, and he is pretty chuffed with his new trick too! He gets all of about 1cm of air, and is so funny the way he bends his knees and rests those cute chubby little hands on his thighs for balance.

And the dear little pet has finally decided that he might start sleeping through again! Yay yay yay! It's been several months since he last did it, but this week he has slept through for 5 out of 7 nights, just all of a sudden, no changes on my behalf. And I suddenly have a whole lot more energy! Here's a photo of the little darling, during his daytime nap this week, just because sleeping kiddies look like so angelic :) I love how he has his special Manni bear and a Raggy (a facewasher) clutched under his arm. Actually, he is often requesting 2 or3, and specifying the colours he wants. Lucky they are so cheap and we have so many!

Bec has been entertaining herself all week with various craft activities. She amazes me how she keeps coming up with new ideas. She is very creative and gives me a list of things she needs, then sits her self down and creates. I think this was a turtle.

I've only got one scrapbook page to share. I did it for the white with 1 challenge site which I have only just discovered, yep, I'm a bit slow LOL! You had to use the colours white and lime and include some scallops. This was fun, I used some chippie scallop off-cuts leftover from another page. It's about how Will no longer rides in the stroller, he has to walk, or rather run everywhere now, and declares "I fast".

Title and journalling reads "I fast.....you say as you race off ahead of us at the park or in the shops, your little legs pumping and your shoulders hunched for balance. No more pram for you, Mumma's got to carry her own bags". I'm a bit sad about that actually. It's quite inconvenient to be done with the handles on the stroller which were so good for hanging heavy or just plain awkward bags on, especially when I now have to chase a two year old and a four year old who are on a mission to see how many people they can get in the way of ;) ah joy and lots of apologies!
