Alexander asked me what I was doing today. (like just now) I told him i was updating the blog. What like "Sponge Blog" he said!!!!
He makes me laugh so hard sometimes.

Alexander is turning into a real little LEGO fan just as I was as a child. Although I did forget how absolutely tiny some of the bits can be. I was making him up his helicopter this afternoon and kept on getting the small bits stuck sorta under my fingernails. Not to mention their was a 40 page instruction book to go with it!!!!

Happy 4th Birthday Alexander
6:45pm and he is worn out totally and sound asleep! (so are we)
Alexander cutting his cake yesterday at his party. Sadly I didn't get many photos as I spent most of my time running round after a house full of 4 year olds. I know mum did though.
Sarah and Jayme came over to help us set up for his party, so thanks very much girls, I would have run out of time if I didn't have your help.
After his party we had Alexander's godmother Bernie and a few friends over for a few drinks.
Alexander spent the afternoon at this Nan's house today, playing with his new Lego, and his Ironman toys.

Blahhhhh I'm going to be 39 in two days time!!!!!!
I feel so middle aged!
On the up side my little "panda" is going to be 4, 4!!! Its enough to make me cry! With happiness, he is such a wonderful little boy (most of the time) :-) I remember when he was just newborn, always wondering what he would look like and what sort of personality he wound have at this age!
He has an amazing sense of humor, and is very loving, offering his hugs and kisses to just about everyone, a far cry from when he was a baby he would cry if anyone would as much as look at him.
He has a birthday party to attend just about everyday of the weekends of June, I feel proud as a Mum that he is liked so much.

Oh how I hate the cold weather!!!! We have months of this left, the thing I miss is the sun shinning and the warmth on your skin.
Slowly getting better from the chickenpox, for those who don't know Ive had the chickenpox!!!!! Crazy at my age I know. Waiting to see if Alexander will get it. He has two birthday parties to go to next weekend, not to mention his own in just 3 weeks time. Id be gutted for him if he missed the parties hes been invited to, not to mention postponing his!
I picked out my own birthday present...lol, well I saw it on special and phoned David to tell him, and he let me get it a week early. He said he didn't get the choice. Ive had a little play with it so far.
Its this lens
and it goes on my new baby on the left (my old little Cannon is on the right)

I'm pretty sure he is going to have a scar!!!! It will mostly be hidden in his eyebrow thank goodness.
I love his longer hair, he is getting his lovely curls back he had when he was a toddler! I do have to dry it with the hair dryer now and he does have "bad hair days" often, on the upside for him he gets to use my hair products!!! :-)
Hard to believe that he is going to be 4 in as many weeks.

GETTING BETTER
Alexander's eye is getting better and better by the day...... Today the bruising has worked its way down and under his eye, as well as going yellow as well as purple!
I got a lovely card from the kindy, that Alexander had made for me, signed love Alexander with (spiderman) as well!
I'm thinking I'm going to have to go with the spiderman theme for his birthday party this year, everything has to be spiderman this and spiderman that!!!

BLOOD and GUTS
If you are all all queasy or don't like blood or hurt children don't read on! More especially if its your grandchild, nephew, Auntie or Uncle!
On Monday we meet with Sarah before she started work at Petone McDonald's, we had a little time before she started so Alexander wanted a drink and a play in the playground. Was all nice and quiet, no other children so Alexander had all the equipment to himself. No sooner had he started playing he, turned to me screaming, (you know that bad type of screaming) It kinda played out in slow motion. He had blood running from his eyebrow, down his face dripping onto his clothes.
I picked him up and held my hand over his face, while Sarah ran off and got some paper serviettes, by that stage I was covered in blood also. The thing about this playground is that it is inside and surrounded by glass so parents can watch their children and staff have full view also. I was truly saddened that no staff came to our assistance, mean while Alexander was still crying his head off!
I scooped him up (all 20kgs of him) and opened the door to the restaurant and grabbed the only thing I could see (the cleaning cloth) I asked a passing staff member to go and fetch me some ice, she duly came back with another cleaning cloth and some ice and left me to it!!!!
Sarah phoned David and he collected us and we smartly went to the doctors to have his 1 and a half centimeter gash looked at. He was so brave, while the nurse cleaned his wound and glued it closed and stuck some stitch like tape over it!
Below are some photos.....I must say I was shocked at what he looked like when he woke up yesterday, he started crying when he woke up saying his "eye was stuck closed/broken)
I've kept him home from kindy for 2 days, his eye is still closed up and he looks like and old man trying to look through bifocal glasses all the time :-) He is in good spirits though and has been regularly checking it in the mirror!!!
