Ethan's first 'salon' cut
My poor darling woke up to a double-ringlet-rat’s-tail, so it was off to the hairdresser for his first official non-mama chop. I am so sorry that I let this happen to you Ethan, but you are half redneck and quarter westie, bad haircuts are in your blood!
Ethan's Kindergarten Christmas Concert
Ethan was supposed to be a shepard in his Christmas concert, but decided at the last minute that he just wanted to be Ethan Jack!
Ethans 3rd Birthday week!
After a super fun week of celebrating Ethan’s 3rd birthday we have reached the end of the party (sigh….). It began on Tuesday with a special day at Kindy. The lovely teachers painted all of the children’s faces, made play-dough birthday cakes and Ethan handed out cupcakes made by Mum and Lolly-pops to his friends at the end of the morning; Then came Wednesday, Ethan’s actual birthday. He got a huge surprise when after opening all of his presents, we blindfolded him and took him outside where Dave threw him onto his new trampoline!
Ethan at kindy, ready to deal out the cakes, unfortunately he scoffed back 4 before I noticed!
He was still half asleep as he checked out his inside prezzies…
…..then came the blindfold…
and the best present ever! (I know I’M really enjoying it!)
New clothes from Meemee, Nana Vickie and Aunt Tompie

First stop: Mairangi Bay playground
Birthday dinner with Nana and Grandad, and wonderful gifts!
The Party on Saturday. I made a special ocean themed cheesecake (Ethan’s favourite), it had a giant handmade chocolate Marlin leaping out of it. I though it was great, but Ethan thought the colour was all wrong, I was informed for future reference that cheesecake’s do not have blue glaze. Well there you go.
Ethan gave it a good shot, but just couldn’t eat the whole chocolate marlin in one sitting.
A very small beach….
But the most beautiful beach, 5 minutes walk from our house, oh bliss! The last pic is one of my most favourite pics I have ever taken!
On the Mummy Blog: Ethan blew out an axle!
The unthinkable has happened, Ethan’s favourite ride-on-plastic-fantastic motorbike has done it’s last jump, completed its last lap around the yard, and had it’s last crash into Mum’s garden. The rear axle has blown out, we are still waiting for an insurance quote at this stage, but I think it might be written off.
On the bright side, Ethan is really enjoying fixing it, then riding it until the wheels fall off, and then fixing it again. It’s the small things……
On the Mummy Blog: Tuesday’s Ethanism
So Ethan woke up from his nap today and we were playing around pretending to be cats…I was trying to get some cuddles out of him…..very unsuccessfully. So I said to him “Do you like kisses and cuddles?”, he replied with a resounding “NO, not …
