Yes it has been awhile since I updated….

Don’t think I’ve mentioned previously that Meg lost her first tooth. She has since lost another and is very gappy down on the bottom row. However she is no longer now the only one in year 1 with no loose teeth so of course she is delighted with this. She is desperate for the top ones to be loose and when I ask if one is, she practically wobbles her whole head to show me that it is (it isn’t!). Now Amy really wants a loose tooth and she tells me that hers is wobbly and bleeding (it isn’t!).

Amy is cracking me up of late with her antics. When I tell her we need to change her nappy, she grabs the tabs at the same time and rips them off letting the nappy fall to the ground. Then she’ll dance. Now I know you are thinking, why is she still in nappies? Well quite frankly it is because I am holding up the game. If I were more dedicated to the cause I’m sure we’d have it done, but I’m not, so we are doing it at Amy’s (and my) leisure.

Jess is reading. She is a marvel. I’m am going to miss her when she goes to school next year, but boy is she ready. She is spelling and writing and going great guns on this website the school recommended www.readingeggs.com If you have a preschooler, it is absolutely fantastic. Meg loves it too and her reading has improved so much since last term. I was incredibly worried about her but she is not the academic type, so I’m happy that she is improving at her own pace.

Holly has entered the phase at school where little girls are turning into little beasts. She was in tears yesterday because everyone was fighting. How do I tell her that this will go on forever in her life, and that even as adults, we lose precious friends and gain others. I just assured her that as long as she was good in her heart she couldn’t go wrong and that She and I would stick together and be friends for each other. Year 3 is tough but so is being 36!

Kate, Jess wants to come to your place for a holiday. So does Adelaide. And so do I and 3 friends….when they heard I had a sister in Melbourne their eyes lit up and I could almost see the thoughts running through their heads… shopping, DFO, restaurants……yippee!!

Till next time…adieu.
