Observations of us
We recently took a quick trip to Somerset Dam to see Uncle Phil. Andrew and Uncle Phil took Ben for a ride on the jetski. He was a little timid at first but soon warmed up to the idea. It was late 2008 when he had his last ride on it. He still has not grown into the life jacket…. maybe next time. This is a gorgeous picture of the three boys.
Mum and Dad have recently bought a house in Ipswich. They have been living with us waiting for settlement and then while it gets painted. Ben is just in heaven. Two more people to play with. He adores tickles from Grandad and loves to play in Gramma’s room. Gramma even has Ben using cutlery himself and getting his hair dryed with the hairdryer. Two things that seemed impossible previous to their stay. Andrew and I are even getting used to having Mum and Dad stay……. Ben wakes Gramma in the morning and lets us sleep in – sooooooo loving that!!!
Ben was playing happily on the lounge this morning with his click clack cars. All of a sudden he started crying, putting his fingers in his mouth and screaming I need some medicine. He was clearly upset about something and I think he may have bitten his tongue but he was in no state to answer my questions. His crying seemed to be getting worse so I quietly suggested to Andrew to get the medicine cup and fill it with water. I consoled Ben while Andrew went to get the magic water medicine. Ben happily drank the contents of the medicine cup, immediately stopped crying, informed me that he was now fine and went back to playing with his cars. Hilarious!!!
Ben and Andrew washed the car last weekend. I’m not sure what Andrew was thinking leaving Ben in charge of the hose. Lets just say that Ben had a great time and Andrew was a little damp by the end.
I was cooking dinner and Ben was on the computer. Mental note……. supervise child when at the desk near marker pens!! Check out the nails!
