Mummy’s here

This week Ollie has come up with the most beautiful phrase - “mummy’s here”.  It initially started out as a ‘first thing in the morning’ thing when I’d go into his room and he would declare “mummy’s here”. But now he says it at various points throughout the day and it also works for “daddy’s here”.  The only time it doesn’t sound quite as gorgeous is at 4am when he calls it out.  Still cute but ever so slightly less so.

Not a whole lot to report on this week.  A few more nights of average sleep with Obear still cutting at least 45 different teeth at once.  He is getting better though and is sleeping about 11 hours with only one wake up which is a huge improvement. 

In loveliness this week, went to have a late breakfast with our friends Sam & Al and little Audrey & Henry on Friday.  The occasion was Audrey getting fitted for her first pair of ballet slippers.  Obear and Audrey were trashing the ballet store, pulling shoes off the displays and hugging the mannequins (Ollie totally groped the boobs on one – too funny!).  But the best bit was when a little girl was being fitted for her first pair of pointe shoes and standing up on her absolute tippy toes.  Audrey, future prima donna, immediately copied her.  This was topped off with both Ollie and Audrey standing in front of the store’s mirror dancing – different styles, neither of them particularly co-ordinated but incredibly gorgeous.  Thankfully the store next door was a toy store so they got to go in there in and blow off some steam, trashing a more age-appropriate shop!

A terribly over-exposed pic but look at how cute B is.  Such a little poser.

Hooking into a milkshake at Cyn’s restaurant.  He normally is such a good sport at restaurants but on this morning he was not on his best behaviour.  He kept it in check when his babycino came out but after that it was all downhill.  My favourite bit?  When the waiter tripped over Ollie’s chair and he declared “go away”.  How wrong is that??

Stay tuned for pics next week.  Taking Obear down to Melbourne for his first trip to meet the Dower side of the family.  Plus we are taking him to his first AFL – Go the Cats!!!!!
