Hello,
Cat it is … (more…)
Too much to even try to catch-up. July 18, 2010
Hello Poogie,
once again, weeks have gone by and I haven’t had the time to write. This happens once in a while – a few days go by, then I think, “Aha, I should write about …….”. Then a few more days go by, I forget what it was then I start to get overwhelmed with how much I have to write. So I don’t… and then the cycle continues.
In this case I’ve also been rather extremely busy: we’ve been getting used to Childcare (you and I), I’ve been working and my work project went somewhat sideways so required some brainpower and attention, uni is getting busy – just wrote my first exam on Saturday and we’ve started work on the assignment…. And you just are SO much fun to hang out with, that when you’re awake and I’m not working I just want to play with you. So housework and writing blogs has been slightly sidelined in preference to actual living.
(Oh, and I’ve developed a slight addiction to (more…)
Is it a bird, is it a plane? YES! The amazing signing baby! – Movie Monday (once again belated) May 11, 2010
Hello!
It’s belated Movie Monday again. I’ve been busy, what can I say.
You have also been busy. Learning. Do you remember that I’ve mentioned that I had decided then started trying to teach you baby sign language?
Well, the fruits of my and your labour are starting to pay off. (more…)
Going slightly crazy. (any suggestions for activities for a 10 month old??) April 13, 2010
Hello Poogie,
Well, we’ve been out of action for 9-10 days now and both you and I are going slightly crazy…. To say the least.
I’m confident we’re on the home stretch, but this flu has been horrible. And so not only have we been feeling not great, but in the interests of infecting the least number of others we’ve been laying low and staying around home a lot. And you and I are both sick of the walls in the house. (more…)
Rooooarrrr. Ack Ack. – Movie Monday March 29, 2010
I wrote about your new efforts at communication last week. (more…)
I nearly cried today. March 11, 2010
I nearly cried today with happiness. Watching you at the State Library’s Kid’s Corner for Thursday’s sing-a-long rhyme and kids songs. You just LOVED IT and you had a look of pure joy on your face.
We’ve been before when you were younger but today was just amazing. A first for the level of your interaction and watchfulness and awareness of other kids and yourself as one of them, and of your ability to explore and enjoy in a self-directed way. It was just beautiful for me to watch. (more…)
Laugh your ass off Mark II (activities for children) – Movie Monday March 8, 2010
Hi Poogie,
You’ve taken the Laugh Your Ass Off Game to a whole new level. You are regaling us with fits of laughter daily. I managed to get this one on camera – it was just after you woke up from a nap.
This week it was laughing your ass off with dad…
Age-progressing software: you in 30+ years March 6, 2010
A digitally generated image of what you may look like in 30+ years...
Really? Well, you, your dad and I went to the Gallery of Modern Art down the road today to see the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art exhibition (or as much of it as we could in the about an hour we have between sleeps and eats with you). (more…)
Eating? Yes. Sand. March 4, 2010
Hi Poogie,
we went to the beach last weekend. And you got your first sand eating experience. It reminded me somewhat of G&K’s dog MoMo, who when you took her to the beach would eat sand and drink the water and then for the next while as you walked / ran along the beach the poor thing would wince and scrunch up her back as she pooed projectile-style salty water.
Sand-eating poogie. Yum Yum.
Thankfully you didn’t do that. Just a bit of simple sand eating. I didn’t notice sand-laden nappies, but I assume it was in there somewhere. I don’t like to look THAT closely.
love mum
