Tucky, 3 - Crafting, crafting, crafting... Love seeing him experiment.
Banjo, 2 - "Busy me, mumma no." Her words are coming on and with it, so is her attitude! I love how intent she gets on doing things HER way. Not sure where her stubbornness comes from...
Tucky, 3 - Whistling while he works.
Banjo, 2 - Kisses for Ducky in the front yard. She didn't know we were watching her.
Tucky, 3 - "Have you been in the baby powder again Tucky.
"Nup."
"Pat your head please."
"Maybe just a wittle bit of powder Mumma."
Banjo, 2 - Trying on my scarves. Growing up so quickly the little clown.
Tucky, 3 - The best thing about Mumma's sandcastles? Knocking them down.
Banjo, 2 - No nap, late afternoon and a very cranky girl. See, she's not always happy!
Tucky, 3 - A break in the weather means a trip to feed the ducks. Lucky Dad is a baker so we have an unlimited supply of bread!
Banjo, 2 - Safe and warm and dry on Daddy's lap. Where else would a little girl want to be?
I'm loving these winter days. Yes, it's rainy and muddy and the washing just won't dry but when we get a gap in the weather and the sun comes out we find ourselves at the most extraordinary places right near our house with no one around. We really are lucky to live in a town like Newcastle, there's always something to do outside if you just take the initiative to look.
Tucky, 3 - Running of those winter, cooped up sillies. In a break in the weather we bolted to his favourite beach creek. Sure, it was sub-zero, and sure, I hadn't expected him to strip down but hey, if it calms him down what does it matter?
Banjo, 2 - The only one who stayed out of the rain. What could be better than sitting on a warm bonnet watching the rain while the rest of us suffered under a wind and rain swept tree.
Tucky, 3- Learning to use chopsticks. An amazing woman I have never met sent them over from Japan. I am so lucky to be included in a group of super supportive mother's, most of whom I have never met despite sharing all our intimate day-to-day family struggles. But seriously, he ate his entire dinner with chopsticks!
Banjo, 2- So peaceful. Asleep in her new big bed in her brothers room. Hoping to make the full switch in the next few weeks all ready for when new bub comes along in October.
