Impulsive

I can be very impulsive some days.  Like last Sunday.  We woke up and Zander wanted to run to the living room to watch TV with his brothers.  I wanted to change his nappy first and as I took it off, I decided that’s it.  No more nappy.  Just like that.

I kinda just told him and he seemed fine with it.  There’s been many many times that he has shown that he is ready, by telling me he wants to go.  He would do it a whole day long but the next day not seem interested.  So I said, this is it little boy.  No more nappies.  Big boy undies for you.

No day-time nappies since then.  He has even woke up dry in the morning once.  It’s not all dry and clean all the time but it is going very well. 

Very proud of my little nappy-less guy.

 

Look who can cycle!

 

Can’t believe this. It was as easy as him getting on and cycling. Like it’s not an issue. Not something to be learned. Just something that you do.

He is loving it. Loves that he can cycle with his big brothers. No longer on his little black bike but right there, next to them.

He has the cutest way of getting on. He is a tad short so had to find his own way of getting his leg over as you can see from the video.

 

 

 

End of an era

When Quintus played his last match on Saturday, he also played his very last game in little league rugby. His very last match in that rugby jersey.
No more ‘Welpie” rugby for him. No more medal after every match. No more coach right on the field. Normal 15 man rugby. On the big big rugby field. It has gone too quickly.
We are all so very proud of their little team. They won all their games on Saturday. Against schools from the big cities. One of those school lost their very first match of the year against us. Go boys!

Jason did so well. They played their very first tackle rugby matches. So proud. He got in a couple of very good tackles and even though they lost, they did darn well. He enjoyed himself so much and in the end that is all that counts.

I had a lovely birthday. I got spoiled. Tommie bought me tripod that is just everything I want it to be. Perfect for the rugby. I could go on about it but if you don’t love photography like me, it might bore you! Quintus bought me the diamond ring I wanted. Jason bought me a box of chocolates that my hips didn’t need but I wanted. They wrote in a birthday card for me. Zander as well. My mom said his was saying “Love you Mammie” as he was ‘writing’. SO darn cute.

Today is my mom’s birthday. I was born just 3 hours too early to celebrate my birthday with her. I still think they should have lied on the birth certificate!
Happy birthday Mom. We are so thankful that you are our mom and Ouma.

 

It’s out!!!!

We spent all afternoon working on this tooth. We really didn’t want the dentist to have to pull it and just did all we could to wiggle it and get it lose.

We actually took turns! and finally tonight I pulled it out. He didn’t even realize I had pulled it. He was still waiting for me to keep on wiggling it.

Yay to my big boy for reaching yet another milestone! (Finally)
