Treasure time

Jack had 'treasure time' at kinder yesterday.  Back in my day it was called 'show and tell'.  He chose to bring Buzz.  He was very excited about showing his friends one of his favourite toys.  He was practically falling over himself shoving Buzz into everyone's faces, introducing Buzz to everyone whether they were interested or not. And then treasure time actually happened and he demonstrated the buttons and answered his teachers questions.  He was very cute.  I had organised to be on kinder duty on the same day so I could watch his first public speaking engagement! :)

We are all fond of Buzz and the Toy Story movies in our household.  I like the friendship themes.  Today in my grown up world it is this Buzz Lightyear quote from Toy Story 2 that particularly resonates with me.

"We have a friend in need, and we're not going to rest until he's safe in Andy's room! Now, let's move out!"

Painting a rainbow

He walked!

I haven't got photographic evidence so you'll just have to take my word for it.  I stood him up in Jack's room and he took two steps towards the bed! He was so proud of himself, giggling with me. I tried to get him to do it again, even tempting him with a bottle of milk.  But no, he was too tired.  My boy is growing up!

Romance

Romantic night in doing work together.

Life

I drove into the city yesterday to try on a bridesmaid dress.  I'd just come from Jack's kinder picnic, which my group on the committee was responsible for.  It went well, people appreciated our efforts.  So I was feeling good.  My sister is getting married, we found a dress and paid a deposit!  We will look good!  Very classy!  As I was driving, I thought, "Wow, I'm happy with life at the moment."

Sometimes life is funny though, you have an "up" day then a "down" day.  So yeah, not so "up" today.  The good thing, though, is that all is well with my family.

Artistic flair

It's a worm with a shell and a pen in it's head.  Can you see the eye and mouth detail?  Genius!!
