Feeling the heat!

Tired out after a busy morning!


Phew! It's been a hot one over here for a few weeks. Definitely appreciating the air conditioning and the swimming pool!!!

Oliver is having a wonderful time at summer camp. Last week he went on his first field trip on the school bus to play mini golf. He was excited to tell us that he had to go on the bus two times!!! I am so proud of how well he has taken to it. The chit chat about what he's done is non stop in the car on the way home :) In a couple of weeks he will start a soccer course which is a couple of mornings a week. Let's hope he takes to that just as well.

He reached the milestone of 14 nights in a row dry so he was able to get some new (and much coveted) Angry Birds underpants!! So much excitement over underwear :)

Next week we will be off to the docs for Oliver's pre-kindergarten and 5 year old medical. I think 4 shots are on the cards and he knows to expect it. We have bought Angry Birds band aids to soften the blow!! Anything to try and make it easier. He is very much into being big and brave so hopefully he will remember that.

Emily is also enjoying her time at school and is loving the water play. The teachers say she really loves to do art as well. Maybe she picked up the artistic gene that missed my generation :) Her vocabulary is expanding on a daily basis and she has no trouble copying a word you say (so watch out!). But along with the developments comes the tantrums and boy does she know how to throw one :) The good thing is that second time around you have a better idea of how to handle them! She is such a little character - much braver than Oliver and willing to try anything and get into all sorts of scrapes. Oliver will do his best to stop her like the protective big brother he is!! That doesn't go down too well with Emily as you can imagine.

Anyway, here are the latest pics for you :)
