Where’s the water?
Eli, up on his tippie toes sticking his hand into a basin of water…and being very chuffed with himself.
Water fun in the garden
Sister love at the dinner table, with the two of them squeezing onto Grace’s chair (on her request)
Making supper is much easier with two children helping
We’re just going to start supper and eat this food that you left lying around…we might also play with it a bit
Nom, nom, nom…this cheese is so good, and you left so much of it here I think I’ll just shove a handful into my mouth…nom, nom
Trader Grace
Grace decided that she should have a tuck shop this morning. What’s for sale? Bananas
There was no money, so we decided to trade little toy people for bananas. Grace was happy with that.
Look what I caught!
Grace says to Donné, “Mom, I really like your new alice band…”
Nom, nom, me caveman, eat chicken
And we have bubbles…
Eli continues to amaze with the “wonder week” he is having. His walking is getting better everyday (he has been nice and stable today), and he can also blow bubbles…
The walking switch
Someone turned on Eli’s walking switch today. He’s been practising everyday, getting stronger, but suddenly today he decided that walking is da-bomb. Every step he took today gave him 10 times as much joy as it usually does. Over and over again today, he would let go, walk as far as he could, wipe out or grab on, and then do it again. He even walked away from Donné, did a little turn and walked back.
The funniest sister
There is something about Grace that Eli thinks is hilariously funny. If we play a game with him that makes him laugh, he will laugh and have fun, but if Grace plays exactly the same game with him it takes on a whole new level of super-excited happy laugh. He just thinks she is the funniest. It is wonderful to see their relationship growing and we believe that they will have a loving and strong one.
Grace the roaring lion comes to get her brother…
Monday fun-day
With some beautiful weather it was time to be outside…
Trampoline hair! Bazinga
Snacks in the garden
You know it is summer when the sand and water table comes out
And a little while back we made a deal about shifting out the public holiday, so today – on the last day of the holidays – we also got to enjoy a family breakfast out, and an awesome trip to the aquarium.
