My little peanut butter addict. You love it! what can I say kid, you have good taste! Most mornings you help me make your morning toast, this morning you decided to skip the toast and eat the peanut butter straight out of the jar. I was left with cozy, warm peanut smelling cuddles for the rest of the morning. Delicious heaven :)
love you always,
Love Mama

Pumpkin,
You as so desperate to be independent and I am so desperate to keep you as my baby for as long as possible. I am using your will to grow up to teach you important life skills like brushing your teeth and I have had a few sneaky attempts to teach you to sweep the floor... you need some practice.... maybe a bit more than some practice make that lots of practice.

My sweet boy, 

You have become such great company. I really enjoy our time together, You are becoming a better conversationist and we chat for hours, you babbling along and nodding yes or no when I ask you questions. We spend lots of time me tickling you and you blowing raspberries on me in return. Many many times we have both laughed so much it has brought tears to my eyes.  Today I asked if I could have one of the 8 toothbrushes Dad brought for you today and you replied in your adorable little voice... "Noooo"followed by a cheeky grin and a burst of laughter. I could have bottled that feeling and held on to it forever, moments like these I want to hold on to forever. 

Love Mama

Oh My pumpkin. You are going to give me grey hair far before my time. You and that bike!!
A few days ago you were hanging out with your Dad when he turned his back for a moment you attempted to ride your bike down the back steps. You ended up up a big graze on your face. Everyone said to me "he won't do that again" but I know you better, "of course he will" I told them. I was right.
Tonight I caught you trying to ride that thing down the back steps again (luckily this time you were further away from the side of the house and your landing was on the grass rather than more steps) When you successfully made it down the steps forwards you decided you could do better and attempted to ride down them backwards. I'm going to be honest, I was rather impressed when you managed to pull it off. You are going to be one hell of a teenager boy. I shudder to think about it!!
love you baby,
Mama

Its so hot. We have barely left the house for the past 3 days as its been close to 40 degrees, apparently it will be hot again tomorrow. I am starting to feel stir crazy from being stuck inside but you seem to be handling it rather well. icy poles and an air-conditioner are giving us lots of relief. I really want to take you swimming but its just too hot to go outside. You love swimming so much, its so nice to see how much joy you get from jumping into a big blue swimming pool. Sorry baby, today you will have to settle for blue icy drinks. But you love them lots too.

Today was so hot. we were stuck in the air conditioned comfort of our house for most of the day, although frustrating we should be grateful we even have air con. This picture was taking whilst waiting by the window for Daddy to get home from the supermarket. Such love.
