Fletcher

This morning Fletcher was out much of the morning with Dad while me and Lachie potty trained. In the afternoon we dug out Lachie's bike from the garage - Fletcher was more interested than Lachie I think! Anyway he is great at holding on and loves being pushed around on it. He even managed to get himself on the seat! Here he is watching Dad and Cruz playing around. I thought all the pictures were so cute I had to put them all up.

Fletcher is proving himself very err... strong willed. He was having hissy fits over sharing the bike with Lachlan. Then tonight he had a hissy fit over dinner - then I realised he wanted to feed himself. So he held the spoon and graciously allowed me to guide his hand & the spoon from the bowl to his mouth!!

Potty training Part 2!

We have had another day of great success! By the end of today Lachie has been telling us when he needs to go potty - tonight after dinner I even sent him off by himself! The other great thing is that it seems he has transitioned to the toilet! He has been great using the potty, and I don't mind it. Its just that going out of the house gets a little tricky. I didn't really want to take the potty to church on Sunday!

Anyway, ages ago we bought a seat insert for the toilet seat. I gave him a try on it this afternoon and he loved it! We even went to the gas station and the library this afternoon (just for half an hour) and we had no accidents!

I hope tomorrow we will have more of the same!

One Way Ticket to UndieVille

At long long last I have decided to toilet train Lachlan. I tried several months ago but quickly decided that I was not ready! But I realised I really needed to get on to it after he turned 3. There is no going back now!

Jamie took Fletcher out most of the morning so me and Lachie could have some one on one training time. There have been a number of accidents, but lots of success too! Most notable of these being that he did a poo on the potty, and also he told me that he wanted to go potty and once he was on, did the business! He's done so great and I am so impressed with him!

More of the same tomorrow!

The Final Countdown...

yes, hum the tune with me now. I think I used to finish a step aerobics class to that tune. Knee repeaters everybody!

Anyhoo..

Jamie is home tomorrow. He graduated from his course today! I am so proud of him and can't wait for him to be home and start work! Although the week's holiday before that will be great too. Jamie over-ran his goal to be a dog handler by age 30 by three days. (I think it still counts!)

Finalised our house plans this week - got the quote from the architect today for the working drawings. We will talk to builders next week....it's starting to happen! It would be nice to start soon, but we have discussed September as a start date for the build.

Did a smidgen of work from home just now....also we are thinking about starting a family trust so I played around preparing a few documents for that.

Beautiful Fletcher

Yesterday morning me and Fletcher went for a walk. It was a bit chilly, so together with a sweater and pants, I put proper shoes on him for the first time ever! He thought he was pretty cool. After his nap yesterday afternoon, he brought the shoes to me and wanted them on. Doesn't he look cute?

Here he is on Sunday afternoon, after a biiiiiig nap. He's so gorgeous I just had to get out the camera.

At the Lake ...Again

Well its all quiet at my place.

We went up to the lake this morning, this time with the Wintersons & Dean & Gaynoll. The weather was a bit iffy, but in between the showers it was great! Nice not to be up there allll day though.

Lachie is staying with his grandparents for a few nights from today - so I left him at the Lake with his grandad.

Fletcher is having a sleep after a big day and I should be getting ready for Megan's 30th birthday party tonight. It is a uniform/costume party so I am going in a soccer uniform. Martin & Sarah are looking after Fletcher for me and I am also going to spend the night at their place. Hopefully I enjoy the party even though I am going SOLO!

We are back!

Its been about two and a half weeks since I have posted. From the 29th of January to 2nd of February we enjoyed a trip to Poppa and Grandma's at Havelock North with our cousins. Here are a few pictures.

Other than that we have just been doing the usual routine!

More again soon.

At Ocean Beach

We spent a couple of hours at the beach. Lachlan wasn't very cheerful that day, so there are no photos of him!

At Poppa's work

On Lachie's birthday, we went to the stockyard where Poppa works (Stortford Lodge or something..). It was really interesting to look around, and also to watch the stock being auctioned!

Lachie's 3rd Birthday!
