Catch Up..

Blogging has been put on the back burner for a few weeks…… but I’m back and ready for a catch up.  Just a few little things that have been happening in the Lattimore house….

Kindy Visit –  I had a wonderful day at Kindy with Ben.  It was lovely to see him engaged and enjoying himself.  Such a huge step for this little man!

Growing –  Our garden is a little behind schedule.  I am still waiting for the second garden bed to magically appear (Andrew!! In his defence he has been a little busy xo).  But the seedlings are growing beautifully…..nearly time to pop them in the gardens.  I get super excited just thinking about it!!

Mr Fiddle Fingers – Ben is always fiddling with something….. usually Lego.  We are huge HUGE Lego fans in this house.  But is has been a little refreshing to see him fiddle with something other than Lego. This was a Christmas present from Aunty Claire.

Little Notes – Ben has taken to writng little notes for people.  I can’t explain how excited this makes me.  I love love love early literacy development.  He writes his notes in magic writing (that is what we call his scribble lines.  Sometimes they have letter formations and sometimes not).  It is magic because only he can read it.  So he does his writing and comes to tell me what he has written and who it is to.    It is a super sweet concept. A little concept passed to me by my Sister-In-Law Tina when I started teaching…. many years ago but I still love it!  Ben and his cousin Hugo did some lovely magic writing earlier in the week. Oh did I mention Ben sticks his messages up around the house.

Little Visit – Hugo and Evie (Ben’s cousin’s) came for a visit earlier in the week.  Here they all are (with Bonnie) visiting the chickens.  The photos are not great as I gave Andrew the camera and didn’t change the settings…. opps.  But I just thought they were super cute!  Yep that is Hugo pushing our dog Bonnie in the toy pram…. super cute hey!

A New Favorite – Ben has a new favorite.  Gramma popped around earlier this week with this:

Ben has died and gone to heaven……. he loves it.  We have watched it like ..well… maybe a hundred times already!!  He has even made himself a name badge just like Han in the movie. I secretly love it…. don’t tell anyone.

Yesterday – I got sick of sitting around the house resting so yesterday I did this……

Ben helped Andrew sort his tools into his new toolbox.  I’m not sure exactly how much help he was..

And this is how Ben finished his day…… having a swim in a teeny tiny pool (called a bucket)!!
