HAPPY "1st" BIRTHDAY LITTLE MAN!!!
Mummy, Daddy & Charlie love you so much!!
Cass, Charlie & Lucas enjoying the new sand pit...
Lucas thinks it's pretty cool...
Trying to escape...
After some slight modifications to add more shade...
And it is all finished...
Thanks heaps Daddy,
(Thanks Mel for the gorgeous lunch box set, Tupperware, no less...)
And with Lucas and I...
Getting out of the car...
Enough with the camera already...
Well come on mum and dad, let's get on with it...
Here we go...
Finding her bag hook... (The other Charlotte name tag is for a little girl in the other Kindy class)
Her little classroom...
The playground...
Getting into the toys...
Showing Daddy the doll house...
Brett and I both got a bit choked up, when after 20 minutes, Mrs Bathgate said that it was up to parents if they stayed, or they are free to leave. All the other parents seemed to bolt out the door. Brett and I decided to leave too, as we felt she would be OK. But would we???
2 and a half hours later we raced back up to the school, dying to know how it all went.... let me just say SHE HAD A BALL!! When we got there she came out with a huge grin on her face and arms full of artwork, including a painting, a drawing, an egg-carton creation and another box creation. Our house isn't big enough for all of this!!! But hey, SHE HAD A BALL!! Then we went out for a celebratory babycino which included a full report of her afternoon.... we NEVER get a report from her after daycare.
Wednesday is Day 2..... I'll report back then!!
He is still our happy, smiley boy... but now with 7 teeth...
...still very in love with his sister, even when she smothers him with her own kind of love...
...just look at how he adores her...
He's getting better with his tucker, still gags a bit, and spits or throws his food everywhere.... but doesn't mind the odd piece of melon...
Apparently Lucas would look good as a little girl (according to Charlotte...)
He is a real outdoors boy, and gets very cranky if I go out the back, and don't take him with me. He enjoys being pushed around on his various cars and ride-ons.... it's great for our backs when Charlotte offers to push...
Has a very energetic wave and says bye-bye or nigh-nigh, if he is off to bed. Here he was waving at Brett...
Always with a cheeky grin on his face...
He has finally mastered the crawl...
.... and is cruising around all the furniture.... this is what I see from my seat at the dinner table...
.... in our new tent (Daddy put it up in the backyard)...
Well, that's it. I will be back tomorrow with Charlotte's first day of school photos. I am nervous and emotional already. God help me by tomorrow.
