Just Being a Mum

The little Man was invited to a circus birthday party for one of his friends from preschool. He had the best time, they had lots of equipment from the circus that the children were allowed to play on.

Little Man really loves anything to do with the circus, Nana & Pop have taken him to the circus a couple of times and he loves it, so when he found out about the party he was so excited.

One of his favourites was spinning the plate on the stick, he was getting good at it by the end of the party. He could hold it up really high, he didn’t quite get the

The poor Little man has been suffering a bit with ear infections, then it was tonsilitis. So we took him off to the doctor to see what was going on. After his 3rd lot of antibiotics I knew there was something more.

He has been suffering with pain in his ears and has been very hard of hearing. At first I thought it was that he just didn’t want to hear me but then it just got worse. He would sit in the car and say pardon all the time, I was having to repeat myself all the time, I was getting frustrated so I knew that he must be also.

Yes

Gone are the day of the boring old School Photo, well at least for preschool anyway.

I was nearly blown away when I received the package of school photos the other day. Wow, I don’t remember school photos being like these. They are fantastic and I am really happy that he had these done.

They were done by a couple who run  Uber Photography and they have done a really great job of capturing the children doing what they do best, Playing..

You might remember my lovely day that I had on Mothers Day at Preschool, well yes the Dad’s get there turn also. Little Mans Daddy got to go and spend an hour with the Little  Man at his preschool.

The Little Man has been excited about Daddy coming to school with him for weeks, so when finally the day had arrived he was sooooo excited, it was hard to contain him all morning until it was time to leave.

Fun was had by all, Daddy had a shave by the little man, with real shaving cream, not getting to much in his eyes, but fortunately for Daddy a paddle pop stick was

Just wanted to share this really great drawing that the little man did, he really likes to draw faces. This poor person has his arms coming out of its head and some on its body as well. What a great imagination.

I know I said that I couldn’t belive it when Little Miss turned 2 last month, but I really can’t believe that the little man has turned 4. Wow!

He was so excited that he was going to turn 4, “I am a big boy now I have turned 4″

We just had a quiet one this year with family and friends, he has been lucky as he has had a couple of parties with a couple of cakes, when he actual birthday came he asked me where his cake was. He had already had 2 cakes.

He had a really great day this year, which makes up for his 3rd birthday when

Dinner Time!

I really really dislike dinner time in my house, dinner time for the children that is. I really don’t know what else to do.

Here is the story, dinner time comes, I have all these plans for what I am going to make the children. I always said that I would not make two meals, one for them, and one for us, but they eat to early and my husband is not home yet, so I wait and eat with him.

I will always sit with the children while they are eating, or should I say not eating their dinner.  I ask the Little Man what he would like for his

First Day at Pre-School

The Little Man started pre-school last week, wow that was a very interesting experience for all involved.

I left little miss with Nana & Pop so that I could concentrate on the little man and his big day. I don’t know though I think that it was a bigger day for me than for him.

He was so excited to go, he was saying in the car on the way there, “I am excited about going to school today”, I was excited for him, and I thought that I was ok with it all. UNTIL it was time to say goodbye, he just waved with this big smile on

Wrestling Champion

On New Years we went to a friends house for a BBQ, the little man was given this outfit as a present.

He thought that it was great that we were all laughing at him.

The funniest thing was that he had no idea what the outfit is, as he has never seen the wrestling (and not likely to for a while yet).

He had fun and it was very funny watching him copy the others as he didn’t really know what he was doing.

Why So Many?

The little man is going through the Why stage, he is close to 3 1/2 and I have been waiting for it to happen.  But I don’t think that we were really that ready for it, as now it is here I am going crazy.

“Why are you doing that?”
“What is that for?”
“How come those are there?”
“Why can’t I?”

My favourite ” Why haft I?”

Why so many questions for the same problem. One why would surely be enough? do we really need to ask why 4 or 5 times, it is the same answer you are going to get all 4 or 5 times.

I don’t have an issue answering the
