An early start, a slightly snotty nose, and swing time turned into nap time. 

Grace and Eli got ready to practice their dancing show… 

If you were walking in the forest and you heard this sound coming from a bush it would probably be terrifying. Turns out it is only the call of the cute cuddle baby. 

Adam has decided it is fun to push the button on his music block and then do a little jig.

Currently Grace is 129cm tall and Eli is 108cm. Grace weighs 24kg, Eli is 18kg and Adam is 14kg.

Adam now has 10 teeth, with more molars getting ready to push through at the bottom. 

Grace has 7 of her adult teeth and is busy cutting her permanent molars. She went for her first checkup today, and according to the dentist she has strong, healthy teeth.

Grace and Eli setup an outside bed this morning as part of their game and to do a bit of sky gazing 

We joined Jean & Clinton to celebrate Caden’s birthday, and there was one huge hit with the 4 year olds – the little cars…

Eli spent most of the party in that little car, with brief breaks to get cake and other sustenance.

Addy also though they were good fun

Lego cake!

Some fun with Angela before she zoots off to Ireland at the end of the term

This is Adam doing an impression of his sister reading a book

First day of school for the new year today!

Eli is now in a new class due to some changes that happened at the end of last year. Newberry has built a new preprimary classroom (for the new class that Eli is in) and it is an amazing space, with a wonderful new directress who has years and years of experience. I’m quite excited for him, and he is super happy, and especially excited about the bunny who will be joining the class soon.

Grace continues to her second year of lower elementary – same class, but also into a brand new classroom. It is another wonderful space. Every new space that has been built is open, and has a wonderful feel about it. I’m excited to see her developing in all new ways this year.

It was a great start to the year with a wonderful turn out of parents at the orientation day, and loads and loads of good energy. The staff have worked incredibly hard to get everything ready, and the effort shows through the magnificent work they have done.
