I worked so the kids went to their grandparents. I took Alex to karate in the evening. This time Alex copied some words. He was given a stamp – I’m not keen on this new initiative though. Alex has since commented on not receiving stamps because he ‘failed’. On a terrible weather day we decided […]

Daniel finally got to open his presents, he received lots of things for his kitchen and he loved them! He also got some crafty things, and painted a little treasure chest. Alex asked to go to a new park that we’d visited once before with a huge slide. It was such a beautiful day! We […]

Early wake up and straight to building his lego chain reaction! We got the first part complete, and it worked! We headed to a wetlands reserve near the Maribyrnong with friends. Alex recognised the street, we’d been there maybe twice ever and not for over a year! So he led us along the river to […]

The weekend started off with the usual early start for football. Again Alex’s empathy and kind heart are displayed as he asks a child that fell if he was okay and helped pick him up. The child that fell reacted quite interestingly, not wanting help (or thinking he shouldn’t get help?) even though visibly upset. […]

This week we headed out nearly every day. It was another hot Tuesday, and so coop was at Watermarc which is an indoor pool. What a fabulous place! They have this huge playground inside with slides and plenty of water features. the kids were fascinated by the giant bucket of water that poured over everything. There […]

I had long ago booked a christmas magic show at the Docklands library (for free, yay!) and so I organised us to go. We took the train and tram. I really didn’t like the show, Alex did and he has asked a bit about magic since. He was asked up onto stage to balance a […]

Vio took Alex to a football academy. Football is great for his energy levels! I took Daniel to a friends daughter’s 3rd birthday. It was nice for Daniel to have me to himself, and given the kids were all younger than Alex, it was nice that I didn’t feel anxious about his noise and energy […]

So the week started off with Science Club. I didn’t even have to wake the kids! Science Club started off with some rockets that unfortunately didn’t work. Then a lot of the kids moved on to free play and eating but there were a few that wanted to do the exploding bag experiment, Alex being […]

So my last post talked about what we do when we choose to stay home. This week we were forced to stay home! We visited Kidz City on the Monday, Alex had been asking for ages. I don’t like to go often because of the cost – not just to get in but for the […]

The kids have been playing together more recently and it’s been nice to watch. They mostly play with the same thing together, Alex gets toy envy very quickly if he sees Daniel using something. Lts of the time is spent on the trampoline, using play dough or playing trains, but in this case the kids […]
