Little O loves to climb…
In the big tree in Fairfield
Today we had a doctor’s apartment and afterwards there was a special request for a park stop on the way home.
And this is where he hung…
Swallows and Dinosaurs January 30, 2013
Tonight was cookie baking: using beautiful new cookie cutters I found on my recent trip to Melbourne.
Both O and L joined in.
Dinner went down quickly then O chose to eat a swallow and a dinosaur.
Yum!

We found the pipe cleaners and raided the recycling box.
New Robot met old robot,
“See, you’re just like me – a robot. We are both robots, right?”
Hello robot!
and there was a lot of playing.
happy weekend everyone!
Comparisons – photographic evidence March 12, 2012
I think in some ways an extra bonus of having a boy and a girl is that there are less comparisons between the two drawn. Which I think is a good thing in the long run. Who needs to be compared to anyone in their life over and over and over?
But some comparisons for interests sake are inevitable and I too get in on it.
So here are a few photos of the two at similar ages. Just for interest’s sake.
 Oscar at 6 days |
 Luna at day 2 |
 oscar 7 days |
 Luna at 10 days |
The babes get bigger
 Oscar at six months – doing superman. Lots of movement |
 luna at six months – round and happy |
 Oscar at 8 months – eating paint and crawling about |
 luna at eight months – with oscar playing in the ‘boat’ |
So oscar crawled at just under six months, and climbed everything at 8 months. While his sister is still content to just spin about on the floor, sit up and have things brought to her by her wonderful big brother.
Luna is a self-contented, calm, observant and very happy little person. Oscar at the same age was much more rambunctious, loud and MOBILE!
Both are beautiful and I love them 🙂

End of year art show: toddler style. Love it! December 21, 2011
Dear Poogie,
we went to your end of year Kindy (daycare but we call it kindy) art show last week. And it rocked. I unfortunately didn’t manage to get any photos on the day in the rooms as when we went there was literally a tropical thunderstorm absolute downpour in progress and we got soaked legging it from the house to the car to the show and thus didn’t drag the camera along though the sheets of water falling from the sky.
It was a fundraiser for the kindy, so we had to bid on the items we wanted. Not surprisingly, we bought a bunch of the pieces of art you have down throughout the year at the wonderful daycare you go to for three days a week.. I thought I’d take a few photos of some of your pieces to share.

 “boat” sculpture.. named by you! |

My favourite is the sculpture. I had it beside my bed so that I could see it when I woke up, but you wanted to play with “my boats” so I had to hide it a bit higher (as selfishly I want to keep it for myself)..
Love mum
christmas preparation – the advent calendar December 17, 2011
we have been doing a lot of preparation for Christmas around our house for the past few weeks…
Lots of making decorations (two-year old fashion).. With pipe cleaners and coloured popsicle sticks. Gorgeous.
And putting them on the tree.
(which suddenly grew a lot more ‘bling’ the weekend I went away when only daddy and little O were home)…
the advent calendar being enjoyed
The simplest and one of the best things we did was make a ‘leaf’ advent calendar (with thanks to the inspiration from little eco footprints. O loves pulling a new leaf off each day, it was fun and easy to make, and it looks good. 🙂

What have you been doing?
Saturday morning breakfast… September 24, 2011
“Mum, can we make cupcakes?”
Mmmm.. I don’t think he’ll know the difference between cupcakes and sugar-free apple and cinnamon and poppyseed muffins….
Let’s cook!
can I lick the spoon now??
We mixed the batter, licked the spoon and baked.
They turned out well:
cupcakes! AKA apple cinnamon poppyseed muffins
off to the garden for breakfast:
Eating the end result!
and she was listening…sleep… September 23, 2011
So, after my last post where I complained about the lack of sleep…
My little darling slept right from 7pm to 3:30am last night. Woo hoo! I got more than 3 hours of sleep in a row!
Win for the weekend.
I however went to bed with another case of mild-mastitis, so not feeling 100%, so the lack of eating regularly made it slightly worse and I felt like total crap this morning :(. Have since made up for that by shoving poor little L on the boob at every available waking moment. A few panadols later, I’m feeling alright..
this is what I feel like when I wake up. thankfully there is no-one to take photos of me.
….
Spent the morning at O’s daycare, as he was feeling like he needed some more mummy time. I went in and read some books, playing in the garden with the kids, then went to his ‘body gumbo’ (or body bumbo as he says) class. A bit of a mix between dance/movement and yoga. It was fun. I think I enjoyed it more than he did. I can now do my salute to the sun with an animal impression at each different position. WIN! We will now be doing more yoga/play at home. It rocked.
….
now I am enjoying some me-time while little L sleeps and O is at daycare.
the sleeping babe - I got her cot out a week ago so she has her own space in our room.

Tonight I am going out with my amazing sisters, all four of us, for a drink. So perfect timing with the whole lots of sleep last night.
🙂 have a good weekend everyone!
