September - October

How quickly does this year seem to be going by!

Had a bit of a teary moment at daycare today.  GJ told me to leave and then started to play catch with one of his kindy teachers.  Kind of upsetting to see others doing the 'mummy' job of a day.  But once I got to work, I was too busy to even tear up anymore!  GJ is loving daycare, the kids and his teachers.  I found out tonight that he has started to 'copy' the other boys at school and stand up at the toilet (something he isn't allowed to do with his potty at home).  Miss Alex told me tonight that he was standing up there this afternoon, holding on to his wee wee but there was nothing coming out.  Turned out he was holding on far too tight and he was stopping it from coming out.  Had me in tears of laughter in the car on the drive home.  Just goes to show how quickly he is growing.

I bought the Toy Story movie for him on the weekend, and since Saturday, he has watched it about 5 times.  Ash gave him a Buzz Lightyear toy that had been left at the swimming pool and GJ was too timid to play with it, given it makes noises etc, so I thought what better way for him to get used to it than watch the movie.  Well, it has certainly worked.  He loves the movie and has started to exclaim about Buzz when he appears on the screen.  Perhaps Toy Story (or Rio) will replace his all-time favourite movie, Mamma Mia!

The soccer run is happening on Sunday this weekend.  I've organised for him to have a trial at soccer with a group of kids around his age.  They all take turns kicking the ball and learning what to do.  Hmmm, is this what all mum's end up like?  Ferrying their kids around to sporting events on a weekend.  Didn't realise it would start happening at such a young age!

Christmas is still coming closer and closer.  Very much looking forward to seeing Donna, Brock and Abby when they come back down for a visit.  Lots to catch up on!  Santa is still deciding on what GJ will be getting for Christmas, he has organised far too much already and I told him we have no where to store it all after Christmas.

64 sleeps to go!!!!!!!!!!!
