Blunt and to the Point

What is that HIDEOUS smell? That's what you said to me when I was cooking dinner the other night. Oh Auron I love your honesty. I'm not sure where you learnt the word hideous from but you have been coming out with some other funny words lately too.

Last night after Daddy had washed your face you said "Hey Mummy, look at this beautiful face!" you really make me laugh and keep life fun.

Swimming in the Rain

Today you and I were standing out on the back porch watching an awesome storm. It was raining like crazy. You ran out into the rain and asked me to come jump in the puddles with you. So I did. Then we both jumped into the swimming pool with our clothes on and had a swim. It was the most fun I have had in a long time. I am so happy I got to have that special time with you. I love you so much Auron!
After we went inside to have a hot shower and warm up with a cup of hot chocolate.

I want to be like my Daddy

Daddy is trying to lose some weight (I think he looks handsome just the way he is!) and has been working out when he gets home from work. Today you wanted to do exercising just like Daddy. It was adorable! Especially since you were just wearing your undies and Transformer shoes. I tried to get a photo of you doing press ups with your cute little butt sticking up but I was too slow.
I love how much you want to be like your Daddy. He is a wonderful example to follow, I hope you grow up to be just like him.

Homemade Iron Man

Today I said there would be no TV watching and no iPad. You cried a few crocodile tears while you sat on the couch and decided what to do. In the end you went and grabbed the school work box and asked if I would help you do some workbook pages. Once we had finished those you thought it would be a good idea to make an Iron Man. I loved how you drew Tony Stark first, then drew the Iron Man suit over top of him. 

Also today you got the TINIEST scrape on your leg from the couch, you would have thought you have cut your entire leg off from the performance you put on!

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.
