Conversation

Today I went to an ABA training meeting and left Inigo at home with Mark. After the meeting, I rang home, and Mark put Inigo on the phone so we could have a chat. He was awesome, answeing my questions and telling me about his day.

Apparently, after I hung up, he proudly stated, I talked to mama on daddys phone.

Adorable.

Welcome Joshua!

Yesterday, I made sure I dropped off our old baby capsule and pram (thanks Karen & Chris!) to Christine, as yesterday was her last day of work before going on maternity leave. Sure enough, she started having contractions that night, and Joshua Adam was born at 1am this morning, 3.3kg.

Christine is looking amazing, but I didn’t ask permission to post a picture of her on the blog, just her gorgeous baby 🙂

Inigo has a new cousin!

Is it wrong?

A few weeks ago, when we were just beginning this whole toilet training adventure, I put Inigo in the car for a trip to Spotlight – about 15 minutes in the car. Silly me forgot to get him to wee before we got in the car, forgot to but a terry square under him in the car, and forgot to bring a change of clothes. And when we got there, he was wet. Luckily it was raining that day, and he was in dark coloured clothes, it wasn’t noticeable, so we went into Spotlight regardless (without stopping to pee first).

Of course, while I was waiting to pay, he peed again. In a puddle on the floor, just in front of the counter.

Is is wrong to use your child to mop up urine from the floor of a discount haberdashery store?

Happy New Year!

To all of you that had a great 2009, here’s to continuing the trend. And for those of you who had a craptaculous 2009, here’s wishing you a wonderful 2010.

We’ve been up at Pearl Beach since Boxing Day, and are just home for a few hours to feed the creatures (others have been doing it on other days!), and to visit an old friend in hospital. We’ll be back and getting into the swing of 2010 on Monday.
