Toilet Humour

Tonight before his shower Joshua spent a fair amount of time on the loo. When he finished he said he had done a poo but when I looked in the loo (as you do when you're a Mum LOL) and said "But that is just a tiny poo" Joshua looked at me very seriously and announced "Mummy, sometimes big poos have baby poos" I nearly killed myself laughing.

Happy Easter

Space Ranger Green watches over the Easter treats...



I hope everyone has had a lovely Easter with their families. Joshua has had a wonderful day and can't wait to go to Grannies tomorrow for some more fun. The Easter Bunny very generously got him an egg that included a sponge Bob watch. It was a hit!! Maia and Xander are too young to know what all the fuss is about but enjoyed playing with their new soft toys and chewing boxes.

Maia learnt to crawl up the stairs at Mum's today....sigh.... She is sooo adventurous and into everything. Now she has learned to climb up stairs we had better teach her how to come down them too. Maia also managed to get her self up to a sitting position yesterday.

Xander's current trick is fully body push ups. He pushes his whole body up off the ground leaving only his hands and toes in contact with the floor. It is so impressive.

Both have been struggling with reflux again so we are trialling probiotics, pineapple juice and papaya. So far it seems to have helped but only time will tell.

Anyway Happy Easter everyone!!

"Swiper"

Swiper!!

I got told off by Joshua today!!
Maia swiped a toy off Xander and I said
"We'll have to call you Swiper the Fox now, Maia"
Joshua who was sitting on my lap feeling a bit precious having just woken from an afternoon nap (an unusual occurrence in this house)burst in to tears "Don't say that Mummy. They are MY babies" Later on when he was a bit calmer he said "Daddy, don't call Maia and Xander silly names. They are MY Maia and Xander. Just Maia and Xander." So we discussed it a little bit and he said that the silly names scared him a little. I couldn't get to the bottom of what exactly it is about silly names that scares him but he made it abundantly clear that Maia and Xander have names and that is what we should use at all times LOL. (By the way I must say Brian was miffed that Joshua told him off for the silly name incident when it was all me. He wanted to know why he got singled out for the blame later on hahaha)

Leave me alone!

i swear joshua is 4 going on 14!! Yesterday when i asked him to come off the computer to get dressed and ready for preschool he wasn't very happy about it but grudgingly did as he was asked. But not before he told me to "leave me alone" The tone was just teenage perfect!! I cracked up laughing when he said it although I knew i should probably have used my best stern Mummy look. Boy oh boy he is growing up fast.

Xander is on the move!!

Last night Xander achieved significant forward motion!! He has started to commando crawl like Maia. Though his technique is more like caterpillar commando style....eeek our babies are on the move!! I am not looking forward to them moving rapidly in opposite directions. Anyone know where i can get a spare pair of eyes ;o)

Some privacy please!!

Gosh if I needed another reminder about how quickly Joshua is growing up, I certainly got that reminder today. We were getting ready for a swim in Aunty J's spa pool and I brought Joshua's togs through to the lounge to get him changed. he looked around the room and said quietly "We have to hide Mummy so people can't see me" Cute!! I took him to the bathroom to get him changed and he even asked for the door to be closed so that "people can't see me" LOL What a mother must do to protect her son's modesty ;o)

X

We popped into Mum's this morning on our way to preschool and Chelle was there home sick. When Joshua found out she was home sick he said "I am going to put an X on the door so nobody can go in that room cause she is sick." Poor Chelle will be thinking she has the plague LOL
