Worn Out

On Friday I took yo to the Zoo. The excitement in the house in the morning was through the roof! You had been asking to go the Zoo for about 4 months and I finally felt up to the momentous task. You packed your bag and got ready faster than I had ever seen, yo were even chasing Liliana around trying to help her put her shoes on. She wasn't very co operative at all but I appreciated the help.
I think part of your excitment was about catching the train. I am amazed at how well behaved you and Lili were. Although towards the end of the ride there you were teasing Lili by put your hand really really close to her seat just to annoy her.
The zoo was lots of fun but also lots of walking. By the end of the day you were EXHAUSTED to the point you were struggling to walk back to the train. As soon as you found your seat and sat down you were fast asleep with in 30 seconds. I felt so bad having to wake you up once we arrived at our station.

Building Blocks and Subway

Building with blocks has become one of your favourite things to do. Usually you are building robots or towers. This creation was a Tower for your Iron Man to save. I love love love your imagination! You can play by yourself for hours at a time, dreaming up all sorts of wonderful stories and games for your toys to act out. 

This week we went out to do our "normal" shopping routine for the first time since Ammon was born. You and Lili were so excited. We caught the bus to the shopping centre then off to subway for lunch, just like always. I love our little routines we have and I love spending every day with you, most of all I love being your mum. It's the best job in the world.

My Extra Set of Hands

It is so fantastic having you around during the day to help me with Ammon. If I need anything you are always quick to jump up and help. Sometimes it takes a little while for you to find something, you have a terrible sense of direction and often can't see something even if it's staring you in the face. That always make us all laugh.
This afternoon I really needed to do some cleaning up and you wanted to hold Ammon. I was a bit hesitant because he was a bit grizzly and needed to go to bed. You kept insisting so I gave in and let hold him thinking it would only last about 30sec. I went to talk to Daddy and when I came back Ammon was fast asleep in your arms.

Such a Stud

I stayed home from church today because Lili and Ammon were sick. Lili has lost her voice it sounds hilarious! She was asleep when you and Daddy left and missed you lots while you were gone. She did enjoy playing with all your toys though, don't worry I didn't let her play with your play doh. We all know how irresponsible she is with play doh....

Anyway, I got sent this picture while you were at church. You are so handsome! When I dressed you, you told me "look Mummy, I'm all grown up like Daddy now"

The Best Part of Summer

I remember when I was younger I would spend all day from morning til evening outside playing during the summer. I was saying to Daddy just last night that I used to be so much browner when I was a kid because I spent so much time outside.
Summer has just started to really kick in this past week. We had our first 40 degree day on Saturday and headed out to Highpoint to escape to heat. We ate ice cream for dinner that night. Today you and Daddy went for a trip to Kmart to buy a pool. Kmart is your favourite store right now by the way. When you go home we set it up straight away. You had great fun squirting Lili with the hose. She wasn't too in to all the water fun, but that was probably because she's sick at the moment. The pool is a the perfect size for you and Lili. Ammon wasn't to keen on taking a dip so he hung out in the pram under the apple tree. You definitely got browner today. I wish you a childhood full of long summer days, full of swimming, imagination and no worries, just like I did.

You Made it to Primary!!!!!

Yesterday was your first official day in Primary! You were so excited. Once church was finished you came rushing into show me what you had made in class and tell me all about the big kids and going to Pina's class. I'm not sure what your lesson was about but you had a cool looking paper plane.

Happy New Year Auron

It's the 1st of January 2014! I am excited for all this year has to offer you and can't wait to see what fun adventure we will have and all the fun things you will learn along the way.

Right now you are a fun, intelligent, and imaginative 3 year old. You love all things super hero and Ninja Turtles. Your favourite Turtle is Donatello and your favourite super hero is Spiderman. Every day you want to put on your 'Spidey Suit' which is actually your PJ's. Sometimes we let you wear them to the shops...You also like to be called Peter Parker when you aren't wearing your suit.

You are a wonderful big brother. Your siblings are so blessed to have you, and so are we. Lili is often sneaking your treats, or yummy things off your plate and you don't get too upset. She is very very sneaky! I am sure you and Ammon will become great friends too. You already show so much love and affection for him. Since he is so little still and sleeps all the time you are always excited when he opens his eyes and come racing over to play with him and make funny faces.

This year you will leave nursery and go into primary with all the big kids at church. This is a big step! I'm not sure I am ready for it, but I know you are and will have so much fun and learn lots. I hope and pray that you will develop your testimony of the gospel while you are young. We will do our best to help you and teach you as best we can.

Happy New Year Auron

Love

Mummy and Daddy
