I know I know its been like forever since I've been on her. Have "seen" some of you in FB so you now that I'm alive. Being back at work now just means that I don't seem to get the time to come on here and do a proper update. Would of course be much easier if I was a woman of few words and I could just say helloooo and be done with it but like thats going to happen - LOL!
Good to see everyone is going well. Kelly really awful about the break in and glad nothing of value was taken. Touch wood hasn't happened to us here but think our mad dog would scare most people away. Depending on the day he would either lick them or bark them to death so they probably stay clear.
Things going well for us. Sam has just turned 18 months and it getting bigger and bolder every day. Its an amazing stage as they are really leaving their babyhood well and truely behind and becoming little boys and girls. While they may not be able to communicate that much their understanding of what we say is unreal. He can be quite helpful at the moment and will put his toes and clothes away when I ask him too. (He will also take every single one of them back out again without me asking to but thats another story!). He is loving daycare and I am really happy with what they are doing with him. He currently appears to be going through his "minimalisation era" in regards to the painting he brings home but I am sure this will only be short term. He really seems to have bonded with the girls in his room and is happy everytime we pick him up. Like you mentioned with T Kelly, Sam will stay in the baby room until end of this year, at which stage he'll be 2 1/4, which is great as I think they longer they can have the most intensive care and attention the better it is for them. The carer to child ratios jumps up quite a bit when he moves into the next room.
He's a funny little chap social on one level but quite happy and content going off and doing his own thing on another level. He loves singing and dancing and wanders around singing away to himself ..... poor thing had/has to endure me singing lullabys to him each evening so not sure whether he will ever be able to actually sing in tune - if he does it wont be from me. He also loves climbing and totally believes that sitting is for losers! Why sit on your rocking horse when you can stand on it without holding on! His words are coming on bit by bit, very chatty but in Sam language rather that what we can understand. He can identify his nose, mouth, head and belly but gets his eyes confused with his ears every time. Mine said with force is used quite a lot at the moment but the dreaded NO word hasn't appeared yet. However quite how his head hasn't fallen off yet with the force at which he shakes it to indicate no .............. means the fun will really start when that one comes out. He is quite a determined little chap and Chris and I giggle over which one of us is to blame for that trait! Between us I KNOW I'm right and that its from Chris that he's picked it up!
Work is going okay though would give it up in an instant if I had a real choice but ............... it is what it is. I am enjoying it but its full on which is to be expected I guess as a full time role which is being done on a part time basis! I find myself having to do emails etc in the evenings after his gone to bed and we've had dinner and before I get everything sorted for the next day. As my role means I'm on the road rather than being stuck in office I can have some flexibility regarding hours so can set my appointments so I can do some of the pickups. To me the time in the evenings is worth it to have my Fridays or Samdays as I've renamed them. Have a couple of girlfriends who have kiddies Sam's age so we always have something to do on our 'day off'. We are still doing swimming at the weekends which he loves.
Hope all is good with everyone else.
Kelly fingers crossed for TTC and hope the trips go well. Hopefully we might get to catch up when you are in Sydney which would be fab. It would be great one day if we could all get together unlikely to happen given how spread out we are but would be unreal. T sounds like he is developing in to a real little personality and very impressed that he believes poos should be in the toilet!
Taurean hope your trip to Singers goes well and the in laws visit to SA at Easter. We are heading down to the Snowy Mountains for Easter and am SO looking forward to going away.
Sanchez - can we have an update please on if you are pregnant or not. Very exciting. Hope you are Ms V are good. Continue to be blown away but her quantity of hair.
Sangie - how are you and your two little darlings. You mightn't see this as I know you said you were taking a break but it might come through on your email so you might pick it up.
Art how are you going. Hope you are feeling lot less tired. Being pregnant with 2 to look after means you get a whopping great medal in my eyes. Are you due early or late Sept?
Well thats it for me for now. Kisses to all the bubs and speak to you soon.
Love Sam and AM
