You are a star. After your 18 hour arrival into this world five years ago in California, you have certainly turned everything upside down. You arrived early, which I was super happy about because it felt like you were getting bigger every day – it felt like there was getting less of me and more of you until eventually we …
The LAST Day of kindy. Ever.
It finally arrived last Thursday, and as much as Ethan loves his kindy I couldn’t believe his excitement about leaving. He has had the MOST fab teachers who have pushed him hard and made sure he has been completing his work and participating in everything. I asked him what the most exciting thing about his birthday was and he replied …
A Big Week
Ethan’s birthday week is always crazy, compounded this year by that inconvenient employment issue I have been having for the last six months….MY JOB! I really love it actually, I just like to complain. Lucky for Nana, Grandparents day was the day before Ethan left kindy for ever, so they got to enjoy a special day together before his departure …
Happy Birthday Freya!
Ethan and I had the pleasure of spending Miss Freya’s Very Special 6th Birthday with her last week. She got her splendid new pink cast put on in the morning….and then we kicked off Freya’s Special Day with lunch. Her choice, of course, but it was an easy win for The Happy Meal. Ethan didn’t seem to mind! After lunch …
The Snapper Haul
Dave and E went fishing with Mikey and Gemma today and came home with a bin FULL of big fish. Ethan reeled in his biggest fish yet, an impressive 8 pound snapper – hooked and brought to the boat all by himself, I think today was the best day of his life! He caught 3 keepers (all snapper) and one …
Indoor Rock Climbing
One of Ethan’s mates turned 5 on Saturday and had his party at Clip ‘n’ Climb on Dominion Rd. Dave did the honours and the boys had an amazing time, Ethan has not stopped raving about it and how high he is going to climb next time he goes. And we are definitely going back, I can’t believe I didn’t …
Success!
Ethan has been trying to do a front flip on the trampoline for a while and after practising for a while this morning he told me he just couldn’t do it. I replied that he COULD do it, he was just a little scared and being scared was stopping him from doing the flip, if he tried to be brave …
The Second to Last Day
Jobs are for suckers and I feel like this job of mine has got in the way during these first holidays since I have been employed and also the LAST holidays with Ethan as a pre-schooler. He has had a great time though, he has enjoyed sleepovers at his Nana’s, playdates, a birthday party, a theatre trip to see Jack …
Looking Back
September 18th, 2008 Impulse shopping – I purchased this wooden railway for Ethan for no other reason than it was on sale. I know, I know……it came with a wooden storage box ON WHEELS YA’LL! September 18th, 2007 A super fun play date with Freya at the beach. They were SO little! They had already been married for a year …
