As promised, here's the picture of the five mums and our kids from our visit to Kelly's the week before. (left to right: Kelly and William; Chantell and Sarah; Anne and Taylor; me and J; Jo with Charlotte and Lizzie).
Joseph had some really big sleeps at Bear Park during the week - most unusual for him! Unfortunately for us it meant that he wasn't ready to go to sleep at home until after 8.30pm. He just wanted to play in his bedroom and run around upstairs. So, after a week of this monkey business, Dan and I have decided to forget about the bed (he's been alternating between the cot and bed each night - driving us mad!) and we'll implement bed boot camp in a couple of weeks once Dan and I have been to Melbourne and Dan's back from Taupo. This timing coincides with Joseph's second birthday so we're going to start doing lots of "you're a big boy now" priming from now on!
Trains and tracks are BIG in our house...we decided to get Joseph a track set for his birthday. I ended up buying and giving it to him on Saturday as I was sick of "fixing" the track we had built out of blocks all the time.
Here's a picture of Joseph with the old version:
and the new one (he's still bossing us around, this time telling Dan where to drive the train!).
If you are wondering what to get Joseph for his birthday (or indeed Christmas) then pieces of track, trains/carriages or any other railway accessory will be mighty welcome!
I took Joseph down to have to haircut on Saturday afternoon, quite a performance (especially with no afternoon sleep!)...it's probably not as short as it could be but I think Lisa did a great job considering the wriggling and crying that went on! However, I think next time, we'll head to the specialist kid salon with the TV screen right in front of them!
Finally, I've been doing some baking the past few weekends...Joseph likes to lick the bowl too...much to Dan's consternation that he now has to share! Here's Joseph lining up eating the icing to the ginger crunch.
