EMIMSAJ

How cute is this?? I took Jasmine to Kindy today and I stayed a bit longer than usual since she is still settling in there and her two best friends from her old Kindy (daycare) weren't there yet. Once they are there I become more of an afterthought! LOL

Anyway, while I was with her she did this little cotton bud painting and I suggested she write her name on it before she hung it up. She needed a little reminding of how to spell it, but I just LOVE how she wrote it! He he...

She knows the keys on the keyboard off by heart how to write her name and recognises it if she sees it but needs a little help remembering how to spell it when she writes it.

She was a bit dissappointed in her S and told me that she didn't do it very well but I told her she did a wonderful job, because she DID! :-)

Birthday Girl!

Ok, I am a tad late with this one, but Jaz had her Birthday party on the 22nd, and her 4th Birthday on the 24th. She is growing up soooooo fast!

Grandma and her Uncle and Aunt and little cousin came up in the morning to spend the morning with us which was lovely as she doesn't get to see her Uncle and Aunt very often... and well it is always wonderful to see Grandma! ;-)

Then in the afternoon Oma and Opa arrived and we went to her party at the park. We tried to keep it fairly small this year.. tho not as small as we probably should have! LOL There were still 6 of Jasmine's closest friends there for her to play with! LOL

I have to say I LOVE doing it at the park. Sooo much easier... less stressful. We put all the food etc in a box and took an esky of drinks and it was so much more fun for me in particular! LOL I am not the most relaxed person when it comes to organizing parties etc. I find it hard to enjoy myself when I am running back and forth getting food ready etc. Anyway.. I think we all enjoyed it more this way as Jasmine had an absolute ball too. She was totally in her element playing with all her friends at her favourite park. I think she felt pretty special for the day to being the centre of attention!

We needed less food because the kids were too busy playing to eat.. because the kids were off playing I had more time to relax and enjoy the company and watch them play. And because the food was all there in the box there wasn't a lot to do! YEAH!

We only had the one game of pass the parcel and it was plenty because they were having too much fun in the playground! LOL All the girls won a little something special in the game and to put it in Jasmine's words... she was the winner because she won a watch. He he.. well she was the Birthday girl after all!

After pass the parcel we had the cake. Jaz wanted a care bear cake, and the PINK one of course... awww, a girl after my own heart having pink as her favourite colour. She LOVED her cake which was great, and it was the easiest one I have done for her so far. Hopefully next years will be easy too! She said she wanted a different care bear cake next year so it will be interesting to see if she changes her mind or not.

Jaz got totally spoilt in the way of presents but it was lovely to see her so spoilt on her special day. :-)

Kyan thoroughly enjoyed the day too with lots of cuddles and biscuits. What more could a boy want?? I have decided to make an Elmo cake for Kyan's birthday.. I figure it will be a nice easy one for him and his first birthday and he loves Elmo, so perfect!

Bye Bye!

Here is a pic of Kyan and Oma at Jasmine's birthday party.. more on that soon. :-)

Kyan has been pretty good at waving over the last few weeks and waves when it is time to go to bed, and waves goodbye or hello whenever someone arrives or leaves.

Yesterday, he and Jasmine were playing on some pillows and Jaz was pretending to go to sleep on them. Kyan decided to copy and before he lay down on the pillows he waved goodnight just like he does before he goes to bed. I thought it was so clever and very cute! LOL

He also has started saying Bai Bai just yesterday when waving goodbye. He looks so proud of himself when he does it! He did it again this morning when Dean left for work which was great, because Daddy got to hear him do it too! :-)

He is just growing up so fast.. I can't believe he is nearly 11mths... sigh.. won't be long before he is walking and is no longer a baby but a toddler!

Now if we can only get his night time sleeping habits under a bit more control! Boy was I sooooo spoilt with Jasmine! LOL
