Tally cut up her “happy” dummy and put it in the bin on Saturday in preparation for turning 3 years old. She struggled a bit getting to sleep for the last couple of nights (day sleeps have been okay) but tonight was night 4 and straight to bed and asleep within 10 minutes.

We were wondering how she would go – she was very attached to her “happy” and would often try and sneak it out of her room (its was only for sleep time and waking up or just about to go to bed time), so I am glad that it has worked out better than what we thought it would.

And yes, she still has Big Bird to sleep with – although he has seen much better days, I dont think she will be giving him up for anyone as yet!

We have moved in to our house – its been a big week and we are very thankful and happy to finally be in.

This is the most important photo of the house as far as I am concerned. We were just talking to the girls at dinner time about how great it will be in summer time that we can eat outside next to the pool and then have an evening swim before bed time. So, when we were praying later on, Maisie came out with this bit of gold:
“and we thank you God that we can be living in our new house, but I wont love it until its spring time and then summer time when we can swim in the pool, so I pray that you will make it summer time”.

AMEN!

there has been a lot of dressing up this month thanks to some second hand dress ups from friends!!

5/6 Winter Camp 2010 – The Amazing Rescue.

After a big day of play! B & S & Maisie and Tally spent the weekend in each others company eating, playing, showering and laughing. It was so nice to watch them all together again – we hadnt seen them since Winter Camp 2008!

Maisie taking her own photo – now that she is 4!

Alice has just reached 18 months in this past week. She is much different to her sisters in a number of different ways.
She is a climber, which has been something new to get used to, she copies everything her sisters do, she walks and talks and dances and sings and throws MASSIVE tantys – its hard to understand how something that small can produce noise like she does. She is a very active little lady – into everything and anything. Likes to unpack the dishwasher, even before the things have been washed. Books, books and even more books – to the point at Church she needs to read every Bible and Hymn book in the pew before she is satisfied. She eats a lot of dirt – hoping that this is a passing phase… Loves to talk on the phone!
She usually wakes sometime around 6am and then has a lunch time nap and then goes to bed in the evening around 7:30pm. The nicest thing by far is that she is a very cuddly little girl – she loves having huggles on the couch, at the table or anywhere she can – she wraps her little arms right around your neck and pats your back before usually leaning in for a smoochy kiss. She truly is a “Joy” to be around!
