An awwwww story 2008-08-05 01:05:51 One of the kindy mothers who has a sweet little strawberry haired slip of girl, said that Conor had cheered her up last week by offering a flower to her daughter after she fell inside and became upset. I think he brought her a dandelion.Apparently, he also plays with this girl a bit which is odd as he's adamant he doesn't play with any "pretty girls". Subterfuge! He's starting young.He had his Read more:story
Nonsense Post 2008-08-03 21:09:50 This is what happens to Isla when you say 'Helsinki' in a high pitched voice.I don't know what to label this photo. "Pre-schooler Angst" or "I'm trying to sell Calvins". I do love it because there's no faux cheese smile for once. Conor even manages to make the manky "put me out of my misery" carpet look okay.

My Name Is Isla and I'm An Awake Addict 2008-08-02 16:47:03 Somewhere in the region of 9:30 -11:00 pm. Relatively happy as long as she's getting attention. She can be all smiles like this in the early hours of the morning also.There's never any rhyme or reason to her behaviour at bed time either. Every night she's different. Cuddles with Daddy (and only Daddy) one night and then another 'just leave me alone to play it out until I'm tired' mood. Event
Isla speaks (a bit) 2008-07-31 20:26:00 Okay, so we have new 'words' from Bonnie. "Bubba" is more regular, I've had "mama" several times over the last two days ( a big thing for her as "Dada" reigns supreme) and also a head nod with a "Yes/ya". She's just not terribly interested in talking. However, coordination wise and her general athleticism, I'm quite impressed with.Cringe. We had one of Daddy's workmates over regarding union
Randomness 2008-07-29 23:30:02 New fascination- shoes. It's why I can never find a matching pair some days.Hanging with the toys. The doll she's holding has been beheaded. I just chucked it. Nasty pseudo Bratz thing.I don't know why I love this photo. In case you are wondering why there's a car seat in the lounge. Daddy was fixing the archaic multidisc CD player that lives under it.
More Bath Pics 2008-07-27 06:49:52 I'm sure they will be embarrassed by later.Have no idea where she found this new paint brush. I don't know how Bonnie finds half the things she does.Ultimately I'm sick of finding my bath clogged with miscellaneous items, plastic bottles, disintegrating cakes of soap and bloody McDonalds' toys. These toys are courtesy of Nan. The kids rarely venture in to Mackers but Nan loves the place and can
Conor's ♥ Gary's Song 2008-07-25 21:15:39 Spongebob's Gary Come Home. I think it's adorable and have been singing it recently at bedtime. Well, it's a heck of a lot shorter than Don McLean's American Pie or Vincent! That reminds me, those two were regularly sung to me by my father along with a rude version of Vincent and the oddball MacArthur's Park. *giggles* Why that campy song? I have no idea. The lyrics left me scratching my he Read more:Conor
Eeemajuhnayshun 2008-08-25 03:49:29 Conor likes to talk about dreams a bit now. I've tried explaining that dreams are his imagination being silly while he's sleeping and he seems to understand that okay enough. At least we have the concept of imagination somewhat covered and we can thank a yellow idiot sponge for some of that understanding. Conor woke me up this morning with "You had a bad dream, mummy?". It wasn't bad so mu
Spring Almost? 2008-08-23 01:42:00 The sun was shining today. You know, that hot yellow disc that sits high amongst the blue stuff? Well, it was out and in full blast mode. The first day all winter I've felt overdressed and have broken a sweat just by going for a brief walk. The kids were well and truly wearing too much stuff. Short sleeved t-shirts and 3/4 pants would have sufficed. Despite all the glare outside I was loat Read more:Almost

Timeline of Isla Scarlet 2008-08-21 19:23:10 Just about to pop. The angles are unflattering and no taking the mickey out of the manky feature wall. We didn't paint it! I'd have included a belly shot with Conor's post but there were so few taken (which I regret) and most of them are just awful.In the afterglow of pethidine, right amidst the epidural and taking nitrous oxide like it's my last. I'm feeling pretty damn good! I took lots of Read more:Timeline
Nanny June is Broken 2008-08-20 21:49:34 Here's a vid of Conor 'assaulting' his Great Grandmother with a vibrating Curvemate. He loved it and even the furniture and the eldest dog, Monty, got a turn. I'd increase the volume of this one so you can hear those good vibrations. The end of the vid is my Aunt's house and back garden. Nan lives in a 'cottage' adjacent. We had to pilfer some lemons. Our 'lemon tree' ( I use this term Read more:Broken

Um, more spending. 2008-08-19 08:11:21 SALES, SALES and more SALES. I didn't get what I went for though which was a legendary kids book written by a Kiwi - one that I grew up with, as have many New Zealand children. I figured Damian was missing out by not having the first Hairy Maclary book in his toddler library. I will try next week when I'm not distracted.So, I purchased yet another OshKosh dress and this one was a measly $15
Restraint Whilst Shopping 2008-08-18 07:27:02 I was on a mission today. Priority one was buy a few clothing items for a cute toddler (not my own) and secondly to resist all temptation to buy additional clothes for Conor and Isla. Not any easy task with all the winter/"we are in a recession" SALE! signs looming from every store. This is why I prefer to avoid the mall when I go general shopping. Conor calls the mall a "Scary jungle place Read more:Shopping

Master and Miss Coughalot 2008-08-13 20:38:41 Their coughs are worse today but at least Conor is more able to clear his tubes, unlike Isla who was very distressed last night and early this morning with a half arsed barking cough that was unproductive. Everything was collecting in her chest but she couldn't move anything and so nothing was going to help her to feel better - not even mummy cuddles and her favourite music. Conor's been prescr Read more:Master
Mummy, a Package! 2008-08-13 04:10:39 What a lovely surprise in the letterbox this morning. Conor noticed before I did, Lady Nimue and he was adamant there were "racing cars" inside before it was opened. I'm assuming since Nanny June said she'd send him a few more Hot Wheels toys this week, he thought it was from her.Mass excitement. Cars, candy, headbands, a t-shirt and a gorgeous summer dress. Parcels from the US, rock.For everyo Read more:Mummy
Famous 2008-08-11 07:38:00 Well, world famous at the doctors anyhow after his carry on today.Conor has developed a very chesty cough. Yay! Kindergarten has seen fit to give him two colds in very quick succession. Despite being his normal, vibrant self, the cough was so strong and unproductive that we took him to the doctor. We got the end of day appointment (5pm) but ended up waiting for an hour and half. Waiting I c Read more:Famous

Mine Highness 2008-08-10 08:01:39 Quite marked here. It's no wonder Isla goes flying if Conor accidentally clips her when passing in a hurry or gives her a playful nudge.Other than the occasional "My/mine highness" when he's thinks he's a comedian, Conor does refer to Isla as his "little baby", "little sister" and "little brother" too ;)Hugs are something he's enjoying more but Isla's usually not in the mood and squeals.Isla wit
Grublets 2008-08-08 02:30:39 A couple of scruffy grublets. I do need to trim Conor's hair again although it's not growing half as fast as Isla's. I think she has more hair 'mass', it just curls up more vigorously which is why Conor appears to have superior length.Conor's just started referring to Isla (and me on occasion) as "my highness". I'm not sure where he picked that up. It certainly beats "You're going to jail, Mumm

Colds Again 2008-07-25 00:32:27 Two sessions at kindy and colds already. Conor was most disappointed having to miss out today. While he seemed normal enough, his nose was not. As for Isla, she's being a beast. While her nose is blocked and also running she's determined not to sleep or make an effort to eat properly.Update - Last night she was frighteningly hot to the touch but her temp appeared only marginally elevated.
