well, I'm bored, so I'm back again. Kids are funny, although sometimes I'm not quite sure where mine comes from. He was "helping" cook dinner last night, by standing on a chair next to the bench because it was the only way I could stop him from nagging at my leg to be picked up. I was cutting up capsicum into small pieces, so put a couple of bits in front of him & he wolfed them down, which was most unexpected. So I've decided that this could be a good activity - he gets to see the food preparation, & can taste bits & pieces along the way, and hopefully I'll raise a boy who can cook, and cook well, and who'll also eat lots of interesting things. And then tonight I was steaming some vegies in the microwave, which like all microwaves beeps when it's finished, and then I hear this little "beeeep" coming from Liam. So I put the vegies on for another 10 seconds & he did it again. It's daggy I know, but kind of clever of him, it was in tune as well, so he was obviously listening to it. So now my goal for Christmas Day is to turn this into a new trick to show - ie 'what does a microwave say?" kind of thing. Cos we have "what does a dog say?" down pat these days, time to move on.

The dress shopping yesterday ended up being much more fun than I was expecting it to be. Only went to two shops, but have about 6 dresses that I could happily wear, so I think my challenge is not going to be finding a dress that I like, rather it's going to be deciding which one I like the most. I'm almost excited about it, which is a good thing I think.

Anyway, hope everyone else has had good weekends.
