August

This August has been an interesting and busy month. I'm now officially a homemaker, having been made redundant from my job when the company I work for decided to exit Australia. We've had family visits from the Bartley's with Nanoo making her monthly pilgrimage, and Grandad and Nanna Trace in Sydney for a weekend.

Operation 'Socialise Henry' has started with him attending Gymbaroo and a playgroup - so far so good. He is starting to be a little less anxious around other kids and is slowly building his confidence. Operation 'Toilet Train Henry' has been postponed. After a less than successful few attempts at introducing Henry to no nappies and sitting on the toilet, we've decided to put this project to the side for the moment. Operation 'Henry in a Big Bed' is slowly coming along. Interestingly this one was initiated by Henry who one night decided he wanted to sleep in a big bed instead of his cot. Problem is when we talk about getting him a big bed he has made it pretty clear he wants a pink, green and black one.

Little Miss Milly (actually she isn't so little - check out the size of her thighs below) is revealing herself to be a bit cheeky. She has a naughty smile and giggle. She has discovered her arms and hands and managed to grab a fist full of Henry's hair last week - he was not happy Jan.

hello - love your photography again and all the news. Glad to see Milly has the family thunder thighs that some of us still have over here. Sarah and Sophie had them but managed to grow up normally in the end, hope Milly does too, so awkward for buying jeans later in life if not. Please let me know when we can celebrate Henry using the toilet for more than a week and the promotion to a big boys bed. I have the wine in the cellar ready and waiting to toast the success, I am sure it won;t be very long to wait. x x x
