2013 is here now and I have had a great start to the new
year, I wanted to write and post this yesterday but just didn’t get around to
it, so here I am a day late saying welcome 2013. Anyway what was I doing
yesterday that was so time consuming well I invited my daughters over for a
baked lunch roast chicken with baked veggies, followed by apple pie and
custard.
Out of my 3 daughters only 2 turned up Kathy-Lee &
Jessica but all 3 grandchildren were here Jessica brought over Blain and Kelli
& Daemon. It was a great start to
the year and I felt really happy with having them all here, Kelli is like
another daughter even if she is my niece and that makes Daemon my great nephew.
It was another hot day here stinking bloody hot and had the
air con going all day and half the night again and today it is a lot cooler. We
had Leo here for the night and this morning he slept in late again it was like
9am before he woke up.
Yesterday afternoon Leo was so cute and so frustrating at
the same time, my mum & Dawson gave him and Leo a remote control truck and
he loves it. Tim/Papa took him out the front so he could play with it in the
driveway, but the battery cover is lost so the battery keeps coming out and
this frustrates Leo. Anyway he comes inside because the battery was lose again
but papa was going to the toilet so I said I would help him and he gets annoyed
and said “not you, you’re just a girl” this was both funny and not funny at the
same time……….
Each time he got frustrated we just left him to get over it
himself the first time he went and sat on a large rock that is just outside the
house and the next few times he went into the bedroom and sat on the bed each
time it took him only a few minutes to get over it and calm down.
Then when it was time for him to have his bath he said he
didn’t want on but he was so dirty his feet where black this meant we striped
him off and carried him into the bath and just put him in the tub and papa
washed his feet and splashed water over him.
Everything was fine till it was time to go to bed when I told
him he had to have a pull up on (night time nappy) as he sometimes will still
wet during the night he didn’t want it on but changed his mind when I said if
he didn’t have one on he would have to sleep in his own bed and not with me and
papa…………he likes to sleep with me and papa…………..lol When I got him dressed this
morning he said to me “see I didn’t wee”…………….
Glad you had a great visit.
