Grace does seem to be quite in love with her baby brother. This morning before leaving for school she says, "Bye Eli, bye baby, your sister loves you."

Eli went for his vaccinations today and handled that quite well. I always feel sorry for them at this first vaccination, it is the first time that they're hurt on purpose for their own good. I imagine that baby's think, "Why would you do that to me?" Oh well, it's all done now.

He is exactly two months and weighs 5.7kgs. His weight is following the 50th centile…but he was born 3 weeks early.

It's been a tough day for Grace – Gogo and Gramps returned home today, and after being spoilt with attention (in a good way) she is now longing for some more time with her Gogo. We've had, "Want Gogo to brush my teeth," "Want Gogo to bath me," "Want Gogo to read me a story," etc. etc. and lots of, "Why did Gogo have to go home?" Our standard answer for that one is that she has to get everything ready for Christmas, which seems to be helping for now.

Grace knew that Gogo and Gramps were arriving today, so once I was done with work the question on her lips was, “When Gogo and Gramps going to get here?” Slowly time went by, we had window vigils and excitement every time there was a knock on the door (Thursdays are Ethical Co-op collection days), but eventually, after dodging barbed wire, burning tyres and trucks on the N2 (okay, that’s an over dramatisation) Gogo and Gramps arrived…..to be greeted by a bouncing three year old…..who pretty much only stopped bouncing once she was in bed.

Nosey, nosey!
