At the end of every month's mini photo shoot, I kick myself for not remembering to take a photo of all of us together. Yesterday, my niece was with us, so it was the perfect opportunity to remember (and hand my camera over to someone else)
He constantly writes big lists of things to do on his days off
then gets annoyed with himself when he doesn't achieve everything on the list
He is looking forward to camping in June
but not the long drive to the site after work
She finally got that haircut
but now the greys are more visible
She is planning birthday cakes for June
even if they're packet mixes
He became a patrol leader for his scout troop last week
he also had a lunchtime detention at school
He is being given more freedom to do "things" by himself
often negated by obnoxious behaviour afterwards
She went on an excursion for school last week
and hasn't mentioned a word about it
She wants to help cook dinner most nights
even though she has a tantrum about doing chores
He sings in the junior choir at school
and is slowly learning his golden words (sight words)
He is saving up for a set of headphones
and tries to negotiate payment for every chore
She cut the upper two eye teeth last month
and says waawee, dawoo, nah (Riley, Douglas, Nat)
She has discovered how to open the kid-proof cupboard
and rarely stands still for photos
Wow - Douglas is almost as tall as you! And I can't believe how BIG Riley looks. Love that you keep up on these posts, Cate, and it's fun that you got a group shot this time!
ReplyDeleteI think this is my favourite type of your posts, Cate - your words always seem to capture something of each person's unique way of being in the world. How nice to see you altogether too.
