Like Moths to a Flame

Sebastian's Turn

Sebastian has been asking and waiting for his up and down beds since Elliott was born and at long last the two halves have been reunited again. I have served my time on these bunks and indeed so has Papa. Here begins another generation of gymnastics and head scrapes.

Papa's Shoes

How do these look for size? Maybe go for a walk and give them a test run?

Happy Valentines Day

Valentines Day began with the arrival of Shell and Jules as they stepped off the plane in time to see Sebastian, giving him a quick hug and hello, before he went off to school. His work this day was a reflection of what, so obviously, tainted his thoughts.
My heart melted a little and a few 'ahh's' escaped at the sweetness of it all and then I opened the card up to see.....

That is by far the best Valentines card I have ever received. I love it!

Interpretation

As a general rule a Mum is needed to translate a small child's babble. As the babble turns into well formulated sentences one needs intelligible wit to deconstruct the complex code.

'Is it someone's birthday today Mum?'

'Would you like pancakes for breaky today Bastian?'

Can I have some of that?

Elliott is happy when he is tasting what everyone else is eating.

Elliott's New Room

The boys are enjoying hanging out in Elliott's new room and I am enjoying the other end of the house, block free in peaceful quiet.

The Plan unfolds

The more we rearranged the more we discovered needed rearranging. To the delight of both boys the little table came back from Sebastian's room to the lounge room and Elliott had to learn that generally speaking, good manners dictates that you take food from the plate in front of you.

We also successfully decorated the shelves and covered up all of the old holes in the wall to cheer up Elliott's new space.
