For those of you who want to know who is funnier, Michael is the principal author of this blog entry although Sarah did add in a few extra comments.
Last Sunday night Ella moved out of the bassinet into her new old cot. Stay tuned for another Rainy Day Kids activity – “Cot Assembly”. She has also moved out of the walk-in robe into the upstairs study. While happy with the arrangements we have not seen any great improvement in sleeping habits.
Monday: Busy Lizzie (aka the craft nanny) looked after Ben and Ella while Sarah pretended to be a lady of leisure – playing a bit of golf and having lunch with grandma at the club. In the afternoon Busy Lizzie (aka the craft nanny) took the boys for a baby cino up at Chatswood. Apparently the kids are regulars and are well known there. In unconfirmed reports Ben actually sat still for 45 minutes. I went to work.
Tuesday: Deb (the Tonia Todman of the mother’s group) babysat so Sarah could attend a craft morning at the preschool. In the evening Sarah and Simon went to a lantern festival at the preschool to celebrate the winter solstice. He looked very cute – unfortunately there are no photos for this event.
Earlier in the day, the Salvos rejected the old couch and chairs. Funny how life reflects TV. The new Simpson episode (the only show that deals with the serious issues in life) also contained a segment about the Salvos rejecting some “donations”. I went to work.
Wednesday: We started the day with a carpet shampoo test after Ella threw up part of her morning bottle in the study. The big event for the day was the “Bob Movie” in the afternoon which Simon proudly announced the moment he arrived at preschool. Deb (the Tonia Todman of the mother’s group) came over with Sam and Tom and everyone had a good time although Sam was disappointed that he had seen the movie before. Sam was even allowed to borrow one of Simon’s lizards – There is hope for him after all! Sarah had bought home some unfinished craft from Tuesday morning and ‘Tonia’ quickly finished it off with glee. I went to work.
Thursday: Mothers group at Deb's (the Tonia Todman of the mother’s group) and then Aunty Ronda came for a visit in the afternoon. The local paper arrived with all the shopping catalogues. Simon has a new favourite magazine to drag around the house with him – The Myer toy catalogue. We now have a four page list of items that he wants for his birthday. We are comforted by the fact that his next birthday is so far away. But then again he does have a phenomenal memory. I went to work.
Friday: Ben woke up to watch the Socceroos qualify for the 2nd round of the world cup. The high chair came out as Ella is starting to get the hang of eating. Sarah baked for the preschool fund raiser – (Oh how are lives are over!). I took Ella for her six month immunisation and then we headed out to the Ryde pool, which is like the Lane Cove pool only bigger. We are working our way up to the
