Happy second birthday Eve


Two years.  Where did that go?  Only milliseconds ago I was coming to grips with you turning one and now you are two.  You are so officially not a little baby anymore.  But as you turn into a little girl before my very eyes, here are some of the things I love about you right now.

- you still love your Wooby.  So much so that we had to pick up a spare.  Nooby.  I'm a bit concerned by your Wooby devotion.  I'm pretty sure that there is a Wooby intervention in our future at some point.

- I love it when you say "mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy" and I reply "EB EB EB EB".

- you have only just turned two but you know the important words like 'lego' and 'ipad'.

- you have the best 'sad face' I have ever seen.

- I just melt when you put your little head on my shoulder when you cuddle me.

- you are so cheeky, you stand at the door to the pantry and point to the top shelf where we keep the good things like lollies, bikkies and vitamin C tablets.

- you pat your daddy's shoulders when you want him to give you a shoulder ride.

- you LOVE to dance.  It doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing, if music comes on you must dance.  We often have mid meal dance breaks.

- the only thing better than dancing is dancing in a ruffly or puffy skirt.  As soon as you put one on you twirl around, non stop.  At Ollie's disco you spun around for the entire night.

- you wear the two sweetest little piggy tails every day.  It is the only style I know.  I really need to mix it up a bit but it is so hard to get you to sit still to brush your hair that I might stick with them for a while.

- your favourite word at the moment is "miiiiiiiiiiiiine".  You like to say it about the toys Ollie is playing with, food and the swings at the park.

- you love to rub sunscreen on Ollie's bottom.  Freaky little weirdo.

- you are obsessed with cleaning your teeth.  If I want to get you to do something I will lure you there with the promise of being allowed to brush your teeth. You also like to sneak into our bathroom to steal the toothpaste which you walk around sucking, usually clutching a toothbrush at the same time.

- you have fallen hard for those Disney princesses.  You can sniff them out at 20 paces.  You call Cinderella "Rella" and Snow White "White".  You would wear them everyday if I let you have them on anything more than pyjamas.

- you can not get enough bacon.  You think it is so good that you simply call it "UMS".

- you also have a bit of a thing for eating playdough.  Ewwww.

- shoes.  Do I really need to say more?

I know this year will have its challenges.  You've made it quite clear that we have some battles ahead.  But in between the tantrums about what shoes to wear or whether you will allow me to brush your hair that day, I will cherish those sweet moments when you place your gorgeous chubby little hands on my neck and say "nose mummy" while you rub your sweet little nose on mine.  I love you sweet pea.  You are sweetness dipped in chocolate and rolled in sugar.  xx

Food, friends and footy.

This week Ollie and I had a special visitor all the way from Cloncurry - our friend Jesse. Jesse came to play at Camp Ollie for a few hours while his mum had some very well deserved shopping time. Ollie and Jesse played lots of fun games like cups and Jesse was very helpful to me during the afternoon. Another exciting event this week was Nick and my third wedding anniversary. To celebrate we went to the lovely E'cco restaurant on Saturday night, thanks to Aunty Em who stayed over at our place to look after Ollie. Thankfully Ollie was on his best behaviour, as opposed to some of the other nights recently that have seen me popping into his room a number of times in the early hours of the morning. Ollie got to see his Aunty Em again the next day when we went over to the McNaughton/Dower home to celebrate Aunty Hayley's birthday and to catch up with Uncle Luke. Hayley cooked the wonderful family birthday tradition of Flat Meat (hard to describe but kind of like a thinner sc...

Movieworld!

I told you last week that we had been busy having lots of fun around here and another of our fun activities (this time while Nanna Freddy was here) was a trip to Movieworld. But as I'm currently heat pressing fifty odd t-shirts for this weekend's big market, I am only able to make it to the computer in 40 second stints.  It isn't that I'm worried about scorching the shirts, but the heat press has this dreadful tinky asian sounding song as the alarm on the timer and it really grates on my soul!  And as I'm sure you can agree that there isn't a whole lot I can write in the time it takes me to run between the computer and the press (this paragraph has taken me five t-shirts!), this blog is going to be mainly pictures. Ol loved the characters. But not as much as the rides.  He went on about 16.  Seriously. He wasn't a fan of the car driving ones as he just couldn't make them work properly.  His dodgem effort was basically just driving aro...

HE’S OFF

Friends of ours have two kids who are a few years older than Obear so we’ve been to a few birthday parties at their place over the years.  Twice a year we get to catch up with their various friends and have seen many of them pregnant, with babies and now with bigger kids.  It is amazing to see them all grow up.  This time last year we rocked out there with our tiny three week old baby who Nick held protectively throughout the party.  This year he was walking around by himself and even managed a small level of involvement in pass the parcel.  By the next party in November he will no doubt be tearing around and in years to come he can really get into the festivities with the bigger kids and hopefully look out for his younger sibling. It was while we were at the party today that I noticed something new in Ollie’s mouth – two top teeth!  Finally the two front teeth are starting to cut through.  I must concede that I was starting to wonder if he was de...
