Oh boy!

When putting Luke to bed tonight he came out with this gem.

"Daddy, dreams come from my poo poo. My poo poo gives me dreams."

So...

...apart from my post earlier today it's been a while since I last posted.

It's not that I haven't wanted to - unfortunately screaming babies, little boys and the day job have all combined to rob me of any free time that I might've had.

a little concerned

Ben has only put an ounce on in the last fortnight, so we need to monitor his weight over the next week.

Another year, another post!

Aaaah, my first post of 2008 - Exciting stuff!

Ben's got a spotty rash on his cheeks - just in time for his passport photos! We've got a couple of weeks before we need to send off for his passport so we're hoping they pass by then otherwise we'll have to put some makeup on him!!!

Okay, not a very exciting topic to start the year...resolution is to post better stuff!!!

Yo - HoHo!

Well, Christmas managed to fly by pretty darn fast once again!

I've sprent far too much time over the last few days putting together toys for my eldest son. Normally I'd be quite pleased to be playing with his toys, but when you spend hours and hours piecing together hundreds of tiny pieces whilst your chilld is getting so keen to play with the new to that he starts to do so whilst your in mid-build, well, that ain't fun!

As I write this it's around 11.40pm on Christmas Eve.

I was gonna write a big long meaningful Christmas speech, but, as I need my sleep I'll keep it simple.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!

Father Christmas not allowed to say HO HO HO...???

Champion skater

A speedy recovery from yesterday's pukiness(?) was completed today as Luke took to the ice rink for the first time.

After a couple of falls and the eventually escaping from of his mum (who held on to the rail for dear life with one hand and clutched his hand with the other) he zipped around the ice with ease. Whoever invented skates with 2 blades is a genius. It's a shame they don't come in adult sizes otherwise I'd be tempted to have a go myself.

Of course, he and his little friends figured out that ice shavings make good snowballs too!

From nowhere...

Just before dinner Luke mentioned he had a headache "all over."

Seconds after sitting down at the table he was spewing chunks like there was no tomorrow. Talk about "complements to the chef!" I could understand it if it was my cooking but we were at my Mum's and her cooking's great!

The little really wanted to eat his dinner straight afterwards because he knew that there was a chance ice-skating would be cancelled tomorrow if he was poorly but I think he knew it wasn't wise to try.

I'm a dummy!

Yup! It's official!

Ben has been using my fingers as replica dummies all week, and earlier today the little blighter not only had the small finger on my right hand in his mouth, he was also clutching the little pinkie on my left hand too. So, unless I wanted to disturb him (results in crying...) I needed to stay still for absolutely ages! Well, about 5 minutes before his personal vending machine (his Mummy) came in to the room to rescue me.

Blog Readability

Found a cool "blog readability" scoring thing on Windmill Watching and I'm quite chuffed with the results for my blogs.

New story added on MaJaTo scribes

I say new, but it's so old I'm not sure when I wrote it! I think it was around 1993, but it may have been earlier.

I think it was probably my earliest attempts at writing (outside of the education system, that is) so don't be too harsh when judging the quality.

New Arrival

After 2 days of deprived sleep I figured it's time to introduce Ben to the world.

This picutre was taken when he was about half an hour old.


Who would've thought such a small thing can make such a loud noise....

His arrival has made his big brother very very very very chuffed. Hardly a minute goes without him saying "aw, I love my baby."

I'm a Reindeer!

My son informed me with much pride! He seems pretty chuffed with his role in the Nursery Xmas play and went on to explain his role. "I run around being a reindeer, then I sit down."

He never normally tells us much about his nursery or playgroup activities so he clearly loves this one! Personally I can't wait it see it! If he sits down on cue it would suggest he can obey instructions!!!!
