Finally! Ethan’s hair is trimmed and I can see his sweet little ears again. The Barber was awesome, obviously an old pro, Ethan sat as still as a statue the whole time and thought that being squirted with the air compressor at the end to …
a trip to the barber this morning. Dave has gone fishing so I am all alone…..with Ethan…..who thinks The Barber is going to hurt him. It has to be done though. It wasn’t intentional but my boy is sporting a rather convincing bowl cut. I …
How cute are they? We finished March with a landslide of birthday parties, I took this pic before the guys left for Josh’s 4th Birthday party. Being Ethan’s social coordinator, driver, gift shopper and gift wrapper does not leave time for normal more mundane things, like……laundry or vacuuming. Oh well!
Today was one of those days where you want to get your washing on the line as early as possible because you just know it’s going to dry so fast (at least you do if you live in New Zealand!), it was a stunning sunny, …
Because I am selfish and miss my boy (and he was very tired!) he stayed home from kindy today and we had a nice relaxing morning. We walked Lou on the beach and it was gorgeous and warm, no wind for a change. We did notice quite a lot of dead sea birds though. After discussing this for a while and postulating about their demise (Perhaps they were old? Perhaps they were sick?) Ethan decided that what happened was a simple case of the birds dive-bombing for fish with their eyes closed and missing the ocean. Ouch.
We headed out for lunch as Farmers was having their weekly HUGE sale and I needed new underwear. I had told Ethan he could have anything for lunch he wanted, he chose Sushi (I love him a little bit more every day).
We headed onwards to the Farmers Department store and made our way to the underwear department. He was squirreling around and running under racks of bras as usual, but after a couple of minutes he called (very loudly) “Mama, I have found your favourite undies, they have an orange sticker on them and they are $10. A bargain!!!” He had indeed found a whole rack of bargains, recognized the brand I like, even the style. The other female shoppers were very impressed that my four year old doubled as a personal shopper!
Ethan has been racing up a storm at Athletics this year and I think it is fair to say from the pictures that he enjoys it a wee bit????
Ethan finished off a lovely stay with Nana and Grandad by catching almost-frogs or Frog-poles. He was so excited that he brought them up from the pond to be admired over lunch before their release.
After much delay due to the prolonged renovations, today was the day. Ethan was so excited and positive. He helped pack his lunch and make muffins and pretty much couldn’t wait for Dave and I to leave him there!
