I have been a VERY bad blogger, haven't I? I do apologise for my absence. Life just got in the way. Grab a cuppa if you feel like reading on, it is a bit long.
I have had my son's school concert and his graduation ceremony! Yes, he graduated from pre-school!! LOL. He officially has 4 days left and then he starts 'big' school next year! Oh my!
I have also had his 'kindergarten visit' (big school) where he went on his own (without me that is!) into the kindy class room to have a taste of what is to come. He LOVED it. The school assessed each child to see how they would go leaving their parents. Oliver was fine and I knew I wouldn't have to worry about him leaving me! LOL. He was so excited, he waved furiously to me as all the kids walked out the staff room! We then had his orientation day and again, all the kids went off to the kindy class room while the parents listened to the principal speak. I never knew there was so much paper work to go along with starting school........and the cost of uniforms *insert shocked face*. The uniform will wait until next year.
I have also been out shopping for Christmas presents. Oliver is set (for life, I would say!) but I have no idea what to buy for Emily who will be just about to turn 3 months at Christmas. Actually, I lied......Rob wants to buy her some jewellery to give to her when she is older. He doesn't like jewellery on babies.
Emily is doing great. She gains about 300g each week (will need to get her weighed tomorrow) and is settled into a nice routine where she is sleeping through the night still and even goes back to sleep after her first bottle in the morning at about 6:30am. Unfortunately, Oliver is usually awake not long after 7am so if I do manage to go back to sleep, it isn't for very long. LOL.
The kids had their photo taken with Santa on Monday and I pick up the pictures tomorrow. For the first time in his short life, Oliver was shy.......those that know him, also know he is not shy. He regularly says hello to strangers while in the shopping centre with me. He is such a friendly child, but it does worry be a little. Not everyone says hello back and he doesn't understand why. Poor thing.
Oh, I nearly forgot, Oliver had his birthday last week and we had a party for him the Sunday before. He told us afterwards that he had a 'great day' playing with his friends. LOL. Bless him! I cannot believe that he turned 5! Where did those 5 years go?!
I do have some projects to show you but that will be in another post.
Both Oliver and Emily are asleep but Miss Emily will need 1 more bottle before her 'bed' time and I'm finding this is the best time to get things done around the house so I'm going to say good night to you all (if you are still reading my blog because I have been soooooooooooooo bad) and I will hopefully post my projects over the weekend.
Happy Stamping,
