Alexander in his new bed....story time with Daddy and then Mummy comes in for a story (the same story every night - Alexander always wants the same book over and over again!!!!) I can read it without even looking at the book now, even recite the whole thing while driving in the car...hehehe

He has settled into his new bed very well, and for the most part stays put!
We will be taking his cot down over the weekend - a sad day for mummy! My little boy is growing up.
He also is doing fantastically on the potty, and is so proud of his deposits :-)

Nanny is having the day with Alexander on Saturday (more tips to the trains,McDonald's and the video store I'm sure) - as David and I are heading off bright and early 4 wheel driving with friends.

Ohhh and Alexander has informed me that he wants a train cake for this birthday, not just a round cake or a square cake, but a train cake no less!!!!

Now you are talking to the cake baking, well baking in general virgin here.
So I have taken advise on this and borrowed ever cake book from the library and will have a practise run before the big event.

Actually to be quite honest the first cake Alexander choose from the books he has been pouring over was a very lovely Barbie doll sticking out of the middle of a cake that looked like a dress - now I know I could have managed that for him...

A photo of Alexander and Adam i've been meaning to scrap for the last few months. Somes up the pair of them the whole time. Alexander talks about his Uncle Mark, Aunty Sharon and Adam all the time, like it was just yesterday they were here.

To Infinity and Beyond!!!!

That is Alexander’s new catch fraise, or Take a bow, Thank you very much, the latter usually used on his way to being sent to his room for throwing toys. The one that makes me laugh the most is from the Ice Age movie; he comes out with “Sometimes I throw up”

I can’t get over how much he has changed and grown up in the last few months, he is not my little baby anymore, (well he always will be) he has a great sense of humor, and jolly cheeky with it!!!!
But oh so sensitive too, I love nothing more that hearing “Love you Mummy” or giving a comforting hug during the sad bit in Ice Age where the elephant is crying, and every time he sobs away with her, and will say “Elli’s OK eh Mumma?”

His new bed arrives in 10 days, a big boy’s bed, as he has been climbing into his cot, not out.

And…..he has been using the “potty” – finally after all these months of just sitting on it with the lid closed or putting toys in it.

First day back at kindy today after 2 weeks break for the school holidays. Mummy is off to the pub for lunch with another mummy from kindy…hehehe
