Cute little things

My kids have been up to more cuteness lately. Just had to share:

Yesterday while Dan was at a speech therapist, assessing if he needs any help (he doesn't) a lady flicked through a book asking what is this, this, this, trying to get him to say the sounds they were looking for to assess his speech. As she flicked over a picture of a ring, wanting him to say 'ring' she asked, what is this Daniel? He answered very proudly "A diamond" ROFL! She and I both cracked up. Just love my boy!

I went to teacher interviews yesterday and had a lovely chat to the teachers. I was asking about boys and their behaviour (we're having some issues) and they mentioned how great Matt is doing and how they had just been saying to the class that day how 'understanding' Matt is. How he is kind and considerate and thinks of others (which is wonderful!), but the funny part came in Sarah's response..... "he's not ALWAYS that understanding."

Matt has taken to kissing my hand at night, like an old fashioned man. It is so delightful. "Mummy can I have your hand please?" KISS. Sigh.

I'm sure there were more I was going to add in, but as usual when I go to blog, I can't remember. Sigh. I might have to come back and edit as I remember.

Later.

PS: Have you been watching the Prima blog? Today it features a ton of stuff including some gorgeous butterflies (I so love butterflies) and delightful necklaces. Go check it out here.

yeah boys....their behaviour is due to SO much testosterone appearing in their bodies at so many different times....all i can say is shorten your requests/instructions...... put cars away (rather then "would you tidy your room, i cant see the carpet....blah blah) keep it short and sweet.....
also remembering if being silly/rough may have some physical energy that needs to be let OUT!!! let him run outside with coat and gumboots and get that physical-ness out...then get home to do what you need...(hard to do one without getting the other out!!!

My 14 yr old has "issues" too - might just do Mandys suggestions on him as well. LOL. Love the diamond cuteness, mind you gold would have worked just as well.

it's hard for brothers to be completely understanding of their somewhat trying sisters.LOL
