Update on Kyra

My baby girl starts full time kindy on Monday. How time flies! Now I have to get up even earlier in the morning because she has to be there at 8.30 and then obviously Jack has to be wherever he is going for the day. Thursdays will be a breeze - at least they are within 100 metres of each other!

She has more attitude than ever when she thinks she is in the right, but she is a very loving caring person (like me I think?) and last night you could have knocked me over with a feather when she just spontaneously cleaned all of the toys up off of the lounge room floor. She has a fantastic sense of humour and has recently taken a real interest in being able to write peoples names. Now she can write - Kyra, Mum, Dad, Jack, Tom. I think she would be easy to teach to read but I'm scared I will teach her wrong and stuff her up for primary school....

Update on Jack

Where do I start! Last week he was sick -

• Saturday the gastro started
• Monday the Dr said the gastro was easing (I stayed home from work)
• Tuesday we were back at the Dr because his eyes were gummed up with conjunctivitis and the Dr says he now has an red ear drums but wait and see if he can't fight the infection himself (I stayed home from work and so did Dad because now Dad has gastro)
• Wednesday the nappies were normal
• Thursday he wasn't eating (I worked a short day)
• Friday the runs start again
• Saturday back at the Dr and he now has a throat infection which is upsetting his stomach because the bugs are getting a free ride to his stomach... so they gave him some anti-biotics

He is all good now. YAY! What a week. So I only worked 1 day and that day was an hour and a half short because the in-laws had him and could only have him until 3:15!!

Anyhoo this week he has come on in leaps and bounds and is fast trying to put back on the weight he lost (600g) here is a list of what he has accomplished this week

• He said "gone" with hand signals and all - haven't managed to catch this on camera yet
• He waves by opening and shutting his hand not just flapping his arm about
• He tries to feed you with a spoon and thinks it's the funniest thing ever
• He says Mama a lot more especially when he hasn't seen me for awhile and it's so cute the way he says it
• He plays peek-a-boo with you around corners or just puts something over his face
• He says Boo which comes out more like a raspberry with a B in front - before that when he played Boo he would say Daaaa
• He has stopped saying Dada all the bloody time (YAY!)
• He is letting go of things and just standing there
• He is giving big wet open mouth kisses to everyone!
• He is blowing kisses too (so cute)
• He still like to bite (last one was on Kyra's bottom.... tee hee!)

That's about it I think!!
