Sticks, funny names and smiles

Joshua is obsessed by sticks!! My Mum says if she is still around for his 21st she will give him a stick!! Joshua is deprived you see as I refuse to buy him a toy gun so instead every stick he sees is a weapon!! (he is even collecting them at preschool and i am finding bits of stick all around the house) Sticks make wonderful guns to blast stuff with LOL. Yesterday though Joshua asked Grandma to break a piece off his latest stick and the whole thing broke into pieces.. oh dear this caused a mega meltdown and I had to go down to Grandma's to pick him up and sort him out. Grandma had tried to offer him another stick from the hundreds on Grandad's wood pile but she was told "they are not the right length" Fussy little toad!!



Brian was on the phone today to my old boss and Joshua asked him who he was talking to. Brian told him it was Dennis. Joshua said in a VERY loud voice "Dennis? That's a funny name. Ah ha ha ha ha" Dennis heard him but luckily saw the funny side. The biggest laugh is ... any guesses on what Joshua's middle name is!!

Xander and Maia are doing well. They are feeding at 10pm, 2am and 6am (ish) now so we don't feel quite so sleep deprived. Mum was up this evening and helped me bath the babies. After Xander had had his bath and a massage with calendula oil he smelt lovely. Mum was taking him
back to the lounge and I stopped them as they went by and sniffed his head and said "ohhh you smell nice' and stroked his head. Well he gave us the biggest smile we have seen yet!! It was amazing. His face just beamed. I felt all warm and mushy LOL.
