Natalie’s First Day of School
I can’t believe the day has arrived for my little girl to start school. I woke up this morning with butterflys in my stomach – I’m not sure why because I knew she’d enjoy herself and I was right. I was doing some work on the computer this morning when she came into me with her uniform on – I couldn’t believe how grown up she looked. Then an hour later when she was all ready and watching play-school while we finished getting ready I remember she’s also still very much a little girl. School might be starting but I have a feeling there are still a few years of little girl fun in her before she starts to grow up for good. Thank goodness they don’t grow overnight so we can get used to it. It’s hard to get too creative with first day of school photos – especially when you subject is nervous and dazed with excitment. Maybe we’ll do some more creative school photos later down the track.
I thought I’d post a photo of the getting ready for school chart I made for Natalie – because I’m so proud of it 
. I found the velcro dots in bunnings and did the rest on the computer with clip-art. Then laminated sheet and the little pictures. She loves it and hopefully it will help keep us on track in the mornings.
Trampoline
Just a quick one from today – I’m gearing up for Natalie’s first day of school tomorrow! There are many hours of fun spent on our trampoline. They like to dress-up and make up routines that we are then invited to watch. They use it as a cubby house. They try out their tricks latest moves from gymnastics.
Natalie got a camera for her birthday from my Mum and Dad. She is loving running around taking photos with it. It’s so cute watching her copy her mother.
Amos at 3 months:
Placid; happy; loves his baths and being on the change-table; great sleeper; great feeder; spends a lot of time in his capsule (out of necessity) and doesn’t complain; loves to gargle and squeal; loves cuddles; loves to stand up on your lap; very strong and alert; doesn’t like tummy times – prefers to roll over; just goes with the flow; rarely cries.
I don’t know what I did to deserve such a good baby but I’m loving every moment of having him!
