fun in the sun

little sister: 14 months

14 months today

wearing hard-soled big girls shoes

losing her baby cheeks

 spoken vocab growing every day

a mini-tornado at times, especially in the kitchen

learning to fall asleep by herself: round 3

 our treasure

school holidays: thursday/friday 2

decorating our space, in readiness for term 3 music

keeping inside, out of the cold

school holidays: wednesday 2

school holidays: monday/tuesday 2

we made some star biscuits,

just like justine on our playschool dvd.

big sister did a great job of kneading the dough,

and loved doing the icing with her paper cone!

(the recipe even survived being fructose-reduced,

having half the brown sugar swapped for dextrose 

and all the golden syrup for rice malt syrup.

let's not talk about the icing...)

school holidays: sunday 1

hunting for a lamb,

the first for this cold season -

 but it was hiding!

school holidays: saturday 1

at the aerodrome,

first time seeing pake's plane.

beautiful sunshine.

school holidays: friday 1

this morning's mood meant

we went for an 8am

run at our local!

(last night:

husband's return caused

great delight for all his girls

who slept so soundly.

ahhh...)

school holidays: thursday 1

morning dew glistened

on empty slides and flowers

 in our park play time

 

 

school holidays: wednesday 1

long story short: 

i went to sleep for the first time last night at 3:40am,

after little sister struggled to sleep 

and then decided it was party time between 1-3:30am.

big sister didn't want to miss out on the action,

so she was in on the antics as well.

(husband picked a good week to go away for work!)

so this morning, in my sleep deprived state,

i made a rookie parenting error:

i left the little tub of sudocrem in reach of big sister,

while playschool freed me up to have a shower,

and when i returned, this is what i found!

little sister, two ways

this much mess means that she likes it.

school holidays: tuesday 1 - from big sister's hand

today:

big sister slammed the cow button with great courage

and little sister began her love affair with the push-trike
