Last Friday was the school sports day and us little pre-primary kids got to race and play games as well. We did "tunnel ball" and a "hoop race" and then we had our own running races. I came 5th!!! It was a very windy day and it even sprinkled a bit of rain on us but it was lots of fun. Even Luc was very well behaved and Mummy didn't have to run after him once. We were worried he might run onto the race track after me!!! After wards we went back to class and just had a fun day. We even watched a movie.
The rest of the whole school stayed for the sports carnival but it was a bit too windy and cold for
us so we headed back to class and had a fun day. We even watched a movie. I got to hold my teacher Mrs Meinck's hand all the way back to class. Look at all the stickers on my jumper.....I got 5 for doing well in my games and races!!!!

Accepting my award.........

We had "Book week" at school recently and you had to dress up in your favourite "book character"!!! Well, lucky for me as my favourite book at the moment is called...."Fly Away Home Lady Bug"!!! Of course I got to wear my "flower girl lady bug dress"!!! AND I WON the first prize for best dressed in my class. I was so excited to hear my name called and to go up and collect my prize...... in front of the whole school, the prize of course.........a book!!!

What a great day!

Daddy's home

Woohoo.....Daddy got home on Friday night for a whole

month. Luc and I have been having so much fun playing with Daddy. Poor Mummy got sick with Luc's bad cold (plus sheer exhaustion she says!!!) and had to go to bed for all of Saturday.......

Home from Hospital

It's been a week since my big adventure to the hospital to get me fixed up so I can sleep better. I spent the day with Mummy in a hospital room, so many things to touch......there were little red buttons on the side of the beds and when you push the buttons ladies dressed in white come running in to say hi. That was fun, until Mummy figured out what I was doing and like always I had to stop doing it. It's always the funnest things I am not allowed to do!!!

I had to wait a long time and was not really sure what I was doing there anyway. I started to get very confused when one of those nice ladies in white came in and dressed me in a "dress"!!!! Yes, don't tell my friends but I had to wear a dress that did up at the back and it was green and had a little bit of pink on it as well, and THEN as if the dress wasn't bad enough, I had to have bracelets on with my name on them!!!!!! Maybe I was being turned into a girl!!!! Mummy took me into a room with lots of doctors and machines that went beep beep beep and 4 nurses had to hold me down, yes people, 4 nurses and that's not including Mummy as I was sitting on her knee at the time as well. One nurse each had an arm or a leg as the doctor tried to put a mask on my face. Boy I was not going down easy.....anyway the next thing I remember I was waking up in "my dress" in the hospital room with Mummy and a little bucket of ice cream in front of me!!!!! I felt ok at first and I heard Mummy later say to daddy that I was still drugged up, apparently I was funny too and became very co operative when the nurses needed to take my temperature.....they said I had woken up a different boy! After a few hours we got to go home and we stayed at Nanny and Grandpa's for the night as the doctor's had said I may have trouble breathing when my medicines had worn off. That night I go very sick, I lay on Mummy all night and coughed and cried most of the night. I came down with a very bad cold and croup. So for the next 5 days I was miserable and sick. I couldn't even eat.

So now I am all better and a happy little man. So far there has been no difference in my waking a lot in the night but that is because I have been so sick.....maybe tonight's the night!!!!!

Look how sick I look! I hardly left Mummy's side for the 5 days but look here......when Mummy can't cuddle, Sophie is always around!!

First haircut

How do you like my new haircut???? Mummy cut it herself under the guidance of big sister Sophie (who apparantly knows about cutting hair!!!) She tried to keep my gorgeous curls at the back but I basically got an all over trim. I feel so "grown up", not a baby anymore thats for sure. Now I am a big boy!! Here are some photos from different angles.......

Now for the really big news........the moment you have long been waiting.......there IS a reason why I wake so many times in the night, the doctors have finally figured it out......I have something called "Obstructive Sleep Disorder" and am going to need a little operation to fix it. The doctor says my tonsils and adenoids are as big as an adults...(just like my brain I say, ha ha) and he is surprised I am even able to swallow my food!!!!!! See, Mummy knew there would be a reason!!!!! She is a little disappointed that it has taken this long for them to figure it out and realise she isn't making it up that I wake some nights hourly!!!! So I am getting the adenoids taken out and I also have to get little tubes put in my ears to drain the huge amounts of fluid that keeps gathering in there and then I should be good to go. My operation is next Friday and then hopefully after that I will start "sleeping like a baby"!!!!!

Anyway, look at me, still as cute as ever wouldn't you say!

The Circus is in Town!!

It's been so long since I have updated you all. I am so sorry. As the grown ups always say..."Time flies"!!! (What does that actually mean??) So going waaaaaayyyyy back to a few weeks ago........Mummy went away for 5 whole days on a plane to Melbourne for a Conference for her work and Luc and I were left in the good care of Daddy with the extra help from Nanny and Grandpa. We missed Mummy a lot but we had loads of fun with daddy and taught him lots of things.......like, "the importance of wearing matching hair clips" and "ice cream is ok for breakfast"!!! (Actually it was more like morning tea). I think Daddy was very happy when Mummy came back to take over the job of "Chief House Controller"!!!

Then we had Nanny's birthday party. Nanny was "70" and everyone thought that that was a big number, but I said it can't be that big of a number as I know how to count to that much!!!!! As always my help was invaluable with the opening or her presents and blowing out candles on her cake (I even have an assistant, cousin Jack)....not to mention eating the cake. I am just so good at helping out where needed and my speciality really is birthday parties. I just can't wait for my own which is in aprroximately 60 days in case I haven't mentioned it before!!!!

Then last Friday night Daddy took me to the Circus for the first time ever. I loved it and stayed up really late to watch the end. The circus is right down the bottom of our street and you can see it from our front yard so it is very exciting to have a circus so close to our house. Nanny is taking Jack and I again today because the Circus is here for a whole month....I am so lucky!

Luc couldn't come to the Circus with us because he needed to go to bed and Mummy said, "Luc would be a nightmare" at the circus. He doesn't know how to sit still for a long time yet and he still hasn't learnt how to do as he is told AND he likes to run away a lot....... but that is ok as he is only an almost 2 year old and that can be expected at that age!!!

This is me, Nanny and Jack about to walk to the Circus. We are out the front of our house....can you see the "big tent" in the background through the trees!!! Luc and Sasha are waving us good bye!!

Daddy has now gone away for a month....but one week has passed already...yay! Back soon

Love Sophie
