Soooooooo many questions

I am having trouble keeping up with Joshua's questions. Here are a few from just today.

1. Where does the energy in my body come from?
2. Why does my heart pump?
3. Why does the blood go round my body?
4. What does my body do when i jump?
5. How do my muscles work?

Gosh where to start?!

Merry Christmas - when is the next one?

Merry Christmas!!!
We didn't get a chance to do Christmas cards for a couple of reasons (both 4 months old LOL) so for many of you this is the closest you will get to a Christmas card from us this year!! Sorry.
Joshua had a wonderful Christmas. We actually had to wake him at 7.30am as he was tired from going out to the Christmas lights on Christmas Eve. All 3 children were utterly spoiled rotten. Christmas lasts 2 days here as we go to the other Granny's on Boxing day so on the 27th Joshua was sitting eating breakfast and looked ponderously at me and asked "Is Christmas all over now?" "Yep" I answered. Joshua sat quietly for a few more minutes then asked....

"Mum, how many sleeps until Christmas? "

Xander shares a joke with Maia...


Maia gets the joke!




Joshua in action in his preschool play

Santaport

I love it now that Joshua is able to play with language and make new words etc.
We drove past a house decorated for Xmas. It was covered in lights and had all sorts of creatures on the lawn. We told Joshua to look as we drove by. He looked out the window and said "Wow look it is a Santaport" Grandma and i both paused as we thought about how cool it is that he came up with that when he piped up from the back "Santaport Mummy - you know like an airport but for Santa..." Hahahaha he thought we didn't get it - thanks for the clarification Joshua.

Oh no...my perfect world

Joshua was playing with Michelle and Natasha, and was pretending to put them in jail.
This is the conversation I overheard
Joshua: Get in jail Natasha
Natasha: Why? What did i do?
Joshua: You were a naughty animal
Natasha: i am not a naughty animal!! What did i do wrong?
Joshua: You ate my perfect world!
Natasha: .... (silence followed by fits of laughter)

Honestly where does he come up with this stuff!! Maybe he will be a script writer when he is older LOL

Long time no blog!!
It has been a busy busy month.
Xander had a bug at the end of November and ended up in Starship for observation for the evening. He was smiling at the Doctors by 1am so home we came. Unfortunately he was still a bit crook and threw up all over me as we walked in the door ... yay!! The following week he had another episode with fever and no sleep... but we think the problem was actually a reaction to Losec so no more losec for Xander!! (When in the hospital we found out that Xander is now a hefty 6.68kg)

Joshua turned 4!!!
Joshua had his 4th birthday party at McDonald's and had a wonderful time with all of his friends. He loved making his own ice cream!!

Joshua took part in his school play last Friday and actually stayed on stage this year LOL. It was a lovely play and Joshua made an excellent shepherd.

Xander rolled over!
On the morning of 9th of December (4 months 1 day exactly) Xander rolled from his back to his tummy. Not to be out done Maia rolled over that afternoon too!!

Maia rolled the other way!
Today Maia rolled from her tummy to her back and then back again!!. She made a fair amount of progress across the mat once she had worked out how to roll both ways. I think I better start baby proofing the house again sooner rather than later.
