Update

Our contribution towards the world of cyberspace has been somewhat lacking in the last few weeks, so I thought I'd write a post in the hope of spurring Daniel on to take up the keyboard again! I rather missed reading what I'd done the day before every morning at breakfast. It's interesting to read another person's take on your world.

Well things in our family are hectic as per usual, but at the moment all three children are fast asleep in bed and it's only 8'o clock - bliss! We spent a happy summer day in the park with my mum (Guy, as Joshua and Bethany call her) and ate lunch in the cafe. Bethany put in the cafe request before my mum had even arrived. (My children love to lunch and are particularly partial to bannana muffins in Starbucks). I explained to Bethany that we couldn't always go out to cafes because it cost money, to which she replied, very practically, "Don't worry, Guy has money"!

Bethany is struggling being a middle child at the moment and is always trying to vie for my attention. She spent yesterday's dinner time putting peas up her nose, until I took her plate away. Fortunately I discovered that squeezing the top of the nose is an effective way to fire them out. Alternatively sticking your fork up your nose al a Bethany is also equally effective!
Bethany is keen to be potty trained and keeps taking off her nappy in favour of pants. Unfortunately she seems to think the options are nappy, pants or the potty. She hasn't quite clicked that pants and potty are one and the same thing.

Joshua is also rather a challenge at the moment, but threatening his beloved Buzz Lightyear and Woody toys is proving to be a very effective discipline tool. He's beginning to think more theologically about the world and asks me all sorts of questions about life and the universe. (Maybe he should talk to Ben!) "Mummy did Jesus make the swings in the park?","Why can't we see Jesus?", "Mummy where's heaven?"


Caleb is a lovely baby. He's very sociable and loves to talk and smile at anyone who will listen. He is growing very fast and I've already had to get out the 6-9 months baby clothes. He has now reached the 93rd percentile on his weight chart. He's not quite as fat as Joshua was as a baby but he's doing his best to catch up.

Well that's a brief update for now, hopefully you'll be hearing from Daniel soon.
