Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Back from holiday. It went really well. W had an absolute ball with his grandparents. Even all the traveling went alright, despite our flight being delayed for 3 hours yesterday. I even got to do a day trip to Dunedin which was great.

For some reason DH let W watch a plane crash show on telly, so he was providing some nice calming thoughts on the plane: Before take-off - "there are birds in the engine! They are still there! Birds! In the engine!", then as we were getting airborne - "we are going to land in a river!", and my personal favourite - "we are going to CRASH, and the plane will go on FIRE" lol.

Clare, IKWYM about the blossoming. W is getting a bit of humor now, not so matter-of-fact. Some of the things he says are just so adorable.

Trill, I hope A's head is feeling better

Cally, hope you had a good time with your parents

MD, any luck motivating H? I guess in the end it is the same amount of time spent riding her for weeks or just helping her do it last minute lol.

Sorry everyone, have been taking a quick peek while at the IL's but now it has all gone out of my head.
