Oliver in the preschool room



Yesterday Oliver moved to the preschool room in school. He was quite sad when I left him but apparently he perked up quickly and had a great time. The first thing he told me was that he sat on the toilet and did a pee - I'm going to have to verify that story tomorrow as he never does that at home ;) I also took him to the doctor for his three year check last week and he is doing just fine. I think he is 3ft 3ins tall and weighs just over 38lbs. He is on the 95th line for weight and 90th for height. The weight statistic surprised me as he isn't the greatest eater.

Over the weekend we started giving Emily some food. She is pretty good at sitting up now and has been grabbing at my plate recently. She always wants to be sociable at dinner time as well so she is happy to be up in the highchair sitting with us. We are doing Baby Led Weaning with Emily which basically means skipping all the purees and going straight to finger foods. So far she is loving it. She has tried peaches, strawberries, cucumber, red pepper, mushrooms, onion, toast and pasta. Peaches have been her favourite I think but unfortunately she has got a nasty nappy rash which may or may not be caused by them. It could just be the addition of food in general but I am leaving the peaches out for a couple of days to see. She was not a happy bunny yesterday :(

Over the weekend we looked after Mikayla for the day and the kids had a blast together. Running round like crazy things as always. You'll love the video when Mikayla is so intent on holding hands but Oliver really doesn't want to!! He eventually let go and poor Mikayla was distraught :( I think the sound on the puzzle video isn't very good as I managed to cover the speaker up. And Emily just loves Scoop - she is getting a good hand washing from her!!

Oliver has now finished the Baby classes at swimming and starts in Littles next Tuesday evening. And Emily starts going this Saturday morning. I am excited to take her and really hope she enjoys it :)


Love :)
